    Missed me by 2 hours. Been to a dinner party with members of the parish council and local Am Dram Soc. wasn't brave enough to go to bed until 1:30 am as I was afraid the dreams may come.

    Missed you by hours and hours, early night for us after our formal dinner on Friday. I say formal, formal to me is structured, this one was anything but; from the first pre dinner speech being a disaster and hysterically funny when the regional Chairman forgot what he was supposed to say, constantly repeated himself, got all flustered and announced an award winner when it was not supposed to be a delivered until after the meal. Mrs Freedom and I were in fits much to the disapproval of others. We had a Lawyer on our table that was late and as a penalty we shamed him into buying more wine for the table, he came back with one bottle for a table of ten! As the meal and alcohol was consumed people started to lighten up a bit in anticipation of the raffle, but, some forgot to buy the raffle tickets. Then the disco started. Not exactly the Ministry of Sound but ok. A little guy from the trade press peaked far too early and started thinking he was Don Juan which was fuelled when one off the ladies on our table told him he looked like Jonny Depp. After no luck on the dance floor Jonny wandered over to the bar and we got into conversation about hobbies, He told me he was involved with bike shows and could get me VIP tickets “and everything” the bull shit started to pile up so I brought him a pint and wandered off to talk to someone a bit more normal. Normal by now was becoming a problem as over weight and in some cases over paid blokes with bow ties undone and shirts hanging out trying to impress the women with there John Travolta moves. Jonny spotted me again and like some lap dog hurried over to tell me that Mrs Freedom looked hot on the dance floor and that given the chance he would love to fcuk her. To which I replied that he was being very inappropriate and that if I heard he say anything else like that I would Fcuk him. With a shocked look on his face he showed me his wedding ring and that no offense was meant but, at which point I put one finger to my mouth and said shhhhhh. A guy I know offered to walk him outside so I could knock him out but I declined if for no other reason that I had only just had my dinner suit cleaned. Mr Depp disappeared at his point. Evening finished up in the hotel lounge with someone trying to find an Indian takeaway that would deliver. But failed. We woke the next morning feeling like a clubbed seals and spent the day looking round the zoo in the freezing cold until the lager level had dropped enough to drive home. We got into a very meaningful conversation with a Cockatiel who we are thinking of inviting to be next years after dinner speaker even though he could only whistle and say Hello or Goodbye. That’s it now, no more industry dinners until next winter. Thank god for the sake of our sanity and livers.
