The most exciting thing to happen to me last weekend was locking myself out of the flat. I deliberately didn't choose a weekend out of deference to *everyone else's* horrendously exciting social lives. But see below...plans are going to have to change.<BR/><BR/>Tabby: Blue Man Group, you say? With work, you say? What a coincidence - it turns out that *I too* am scheduled to go and see the Blue Man Group with work on the appointed date, so I'm going to have to change the plan. Cor, what are the chances, eh?<BR/><BR/>Bella: It is right and proper to snigger in Cyberdog, if not at the entertaining garments then certainly at the fucked-up clubbers dancing by the tills.
