Oh no! I didn\'t, did I? Oh yes you did.........
Oh well, lived in Norfolk/Suffolk since '87 and never managed to get to the Norwich Beer Festival, mainly due to being ofshore etc, until yesterday that is. Had lots of falling down water, then got drenched in a downpour(I mean I couldn't have got wetter swimming), then gave SWMBO a hard time for which she made me pay by taking her out for a meal. She then proceeded to drag me in & out of 3 restaurants, after she had a large glass of wine in each, until she found one she liked. So here we are in this nice Italian restaurant, I am already 3 sheets(sorry, motors) to the wind, SWMBO is rapidly catching up and after her perusing the menu for 30 mins. we finally get seated. We are have had our antipasta and the main course arrives. SWMBO decides that by this time, she is too pissed to eat any more. I put my napkin on the table. It promptly catches alight on the candle, much to the horror of the other diners. I try blowing it out, but this only seems to make matters worse. Think about using good quality bottle of red(SWMBO had already drunk her bottle of white) to put it out. Nah. Decided only other course of action was to use the sauce in the meal, so stubbed out napkin in dinner, to the absolute horror of maitre'd. Doh!!
Apart from that I can't wait until next year. I think I will book the time of to make sure I get there.
