Just Say No to work dinners.

I was transported back to 1970s suburban Australia. Without that Dave Graney ambiance to lend an atmosphere of meaning. I think I ate half a cow. I could feel my gut expanding, my heart racing, my blood pressure lifting, my hair falling out and a cricketer moustache and sideburns growing. Left as soon as I could.

Today I have a cold. My IQ is two. My brane is zoning in and out of focus. I think I will try to get some work done and then try to go home.

Occasionally brilliant, sometimes a bit too damn clever. I strongly recommend Night Of The Wolverine and anything by the Moodists. My Life On The Plains is good too.

To have the full effect I think you needed to imbibe a slab of VB.

And paper plates.

No VB or paper plates in sight...

Oh, the beer. I didn't mention the beer. It was Budweiser. UK-brewed, but with that authentic dishwater flavour. I had two pints of Director's at the pub prior, and funnily enough stayed off the beer at the party itself.

Heh. At a job I had a while ago (in the U.S.) they always took us out to the Outback Steak House, a place that's supposed to have an Australian theme. (Actually, it's American food named after Australian places, and decorated with Australian icons. And a kiwi. Dickheads.) They only gave you half a cow? You ought to go to Outback, where they give you at least two-thirds...
