Pre Uni Cum

Topic: Belle de Jour

Jatb said I had to blog the rest of my birthday festivities, as she bought me a highly expensive repast in a Hungarian restaurant (no prizes for guessing where) last night.
After yesterday's supreme confidence about being 34, I had a slight set back. Accidentally spilling coffee all over the carpet, breaking half the dishes and finding a four inch millipede on the filthy carpet, I inadvertently wore a hideous combination of clothes out, (White empire line flares and pringle sweater? Would Modom like a 50s knitting catalogue pose with that?) and not even sucking in, tucking and posture would hide the previous day's ice cream related gluttony. I can truthfully tell you that the best best best recipe for an attack of the olds is to walk into a restaurant with champagne waiting, and your oldest friend to whisper 'look: no competition; we're the most attractive people in here by miles'.
After that boost, it was mere icing on the strudel to witness jatb 'innocently' ordering a glass of industrial waste disguised as a liqueur, and rather revoltingly named 'unicum', from a bottle shaped like a bollock. Yes, it is pronounced like that.
Billy was very very lucky to excape a drunken phonecall from either of us...
So tonight, I shall be attending this thing, recommended by this blogger, and this, and accompanied by this blogger too. Does that count as a blogmeet then, if we all refuse to own up to them?
And that will conclude my birthday festivities, as well as my blog festivities. Just one Best Present mention for Toulouse, and his gay erotica sent from the Cayman Islands. I haven't watched it yet....

All sounds like a great start to a new birth year;-) P.S. The two on the left are chimpanzees and the one on the far right is a gorilla ;-)

Happy Birthday Vanessa - and unicum sounds nasty, yet exciting at the same time.

I had much the same response to the mp3 of William Shatner singing Pulp's The Common People that you posted, you wicked perverse individual. ;-P

If your carpet is truly filthy, it might not have been a millipede but a carpet beetle (thanks Kim and Aggie)http://www.chestercc.gov.uk/environmental-health/ept/gif/Wbear.jpg

Hussar! I went to that Hungarian restaurant, had a gay old time,until it got to the unicum which was indeed incredibly unpleasant and i wish you hadn't reminded me.

maybe it is the impish sense of humour of their maitre d' but the more I think about I realise i've gagged on grappa, coughed up calvados and retched on retsina. It is obviously a trick played on the uninitiated at all ethnic restaurants everywhere. They'll not catch me again!
