Keeping your eyes on the prize and your fingers on the pulse; welcome to round 2 of the weekly weekend round up...
One point of conversation between us is whether going out on Friday night is better than going out on Saturday night (we're now too old to go out both nights!). Friday nights have some crucial benefits: the weekend seems longer, the evening, although planned, tends to be more impromptus - we go to places where we don't have to worry about guest lists/tables/ridiculous entrance costs. This time around costs were less than usual thanks for a brilliant promotion sent around by Dips - 50% off food and drink at a number of London bars. This meant we managed to get 10 drinks (6 beers and 4 cocktails!) for £22. That's the equivalent of 3 and a half drinks at other clubs (i.e. Teatro - Dips).
After a few drinks, the customary 'pose-off' between Seems and myself was in full swing. I came out with an almost customary 'thinker' - stroking my chin, the look that exuded a powerful connection with the camera. Seema hit back with the relaxed slouch that she's got down. I attempted to retort, but the chuckles from the onlookers put me off - you were lucky this time Seems - next time I'll going to 'Magnum' your ass.
Saturday was spent on wedding related matters. Went up to Deeps' place and met the Maharaj who's going to marry us. Some interesting things to know about our Maharaj:
* His father was a Maharaj, as was his father before him.
* He's a policeman from Leicester (I didn't realise these guys had lives - I thought they just lived in temples until they got called out!)
* He's an advocate for female Maharaj's (or would that be Maharanis?)
* He doesn't think Jade was the real racist in Big Brother - the other two are the ones to beware of...(we all agreed on that point!)
After that, we went up to meet a mehndi artist, before heading up the road to pick up Habs - he had just come off his shift (he's in da po-lice),
so we grabbed a bite to eat at Prakashs restaurant, where aunty made us try the best tasting veg food -e v e r- created - Majestic Paneer. Even the name sounds royal.
Anyway, nothing happened on Sunday. NOTHING. Utd didn't lose to any London based football team - there's no proof - the table hasn't changed, Utd are still 6 points ahead of second place Chelsea. You can't prove a thing.
Tomorrow the blogs go back to our existential philosophical discussions, mixed with enterprise software discussions.
I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.
