From the sublime to the ridiculous

ENGAGEMENT PARTY

July 28th, 2003 Posted in Uncategorized

…..and finally, after a week of keeping it zipped, I am able to announce that my brother Ben and his girlfriend Carole are engaged to be married. Utterly splendid, about bl**dy time, but utterly splendid.

SO, thirty of us descended upon their house for what had been advertised as a birthday party for Ben. At 3pm the champagne was opened and the guests began to flock in. The barbeque was lit and the girls huddled around it stirring the massive paella and talking about gardens. The boys broke off into a separate group, as happens EVERY time, without actually meaning to, and discussed various topics such as football, cars and women.

This is where Chris M, otherwise known as The Belly, really shone. As one of only two in the group that is single, Chris has felt pressured to find himself another half. Has he done it? Boy has he done it. The Belly will, tomorrow night, be going out with an 18 year old Israeli lapdancer that he met in her club, who is willing to pay someone
