The curry club was cancelled. they are an apathetic bunch. But I miss them terribly. They are a gang of old and young geezers who enjoy a few pints in the dispensary a real ale pub in town, then off to the Masterchef for the cheapest best curry in town. it is bring your own so you can drink and eat as much as you want for about a tenner. To be fair they aint apathetic but getting a group a people together regularly is hard. The only thing that kept me going through the return to serious dieting and weight loss was the thought of a couple of pints of real beer and some pappadums. About as good as it gets for me I'm afraid.
We have tried various combinations of people but there is a core group group emerged.
Dr John McCoy - small technical wizard who eats the hottest food in the world.
Paul "Salty" Smith a practice manager, who wants to work for EMIS
Gareth "The Baron" Jones a gentleman of Cheshire, Lord Hale
Ian "Saucy" Connolly The Access database king
Chris "The Living dead "Sneddon though since he got married last year Lynn has sorted him out
Dave "Sleepy Head" Bray who works in the north and falls asleep.
Mike"Sharp dressed man" Thwaite who co-ordinates the desktop roll out.
There are more including me who have drifted in and out. I have only been once since September.
By way of consolation Jean took me to the Willowbank - I had a pint of draught Bass, and then Gales Crowning glory 4.5 ABV. Then picked Ally up and watched ER on E4. Still powerful TV after all these years.
We then sat together looking back through the Blog and laffing, seeing what we had been through. It was all worth it.
