Christmas 'Do'

Went to a Christmas 'Do' last week where we had to get dressed up. This is the hareem of girls that I took with me and you can clearly see the joy on all their faces. You might notice that I am holding what looks like a Martini. This is true, although this was the first time I've ever had Martini and it was the drink they give you when you walk in, before you find the beer, so that's my excuse. I won't be drinking it again, mind you. There was an olive in it. You know, like what the Greeks eat. An olive?!! Some people. This country...



It was a very good night but part of me can't help thinking these things are a bit pretentious. Why couldn't I just have gone in my shell-suit and trainers? Maybe it's just this attitude that caused everyone else to leave me on my own at the table.

Happy Christmas everyone. Don't forget to put the 'Christ' into Christmas this year. Unless you're Muslim.
