I've got some good news for me, and some more good news for me which is even better news for you lot
This morning I got confirmation that on Ms Foxtrot's birthday we'll be having a private lesson with Karen Hardy, five-time world ten-dance champion, which is the Ballroom equivalent of Tiger Woods except without the hookers, sadly. Champagne, the works. Chuffed.

And tomorrow it's InFest, which makes me a very excited Foxy indeed. It also means I won't be posting between this evening and Tuesday morning. You are permitted to show your pleasure.

You're going to get some super filthy sex on her birthday now.
That's a really good present.

It gets better, Monts
Her sisters have booked us a table at The Ivy on the evening of her birthday, but because said restaurant doesn't do any kind of pre-payment or voucher scheme they're just giving me the money. Is it dishonest to pretend I paid for the whole thing until after the grateful coitus?

A little, I fear.
The Ivy is great for seeing famous people but the food is slightly 'meh', I'm afraid

Really?
'Meh' by the standards fo those who live and eat in London regularly or 'meh' by actual food standards?

She'll love the whole posh restaurant thing anyway, luckily. And their vegetarian options are impressive.

The experience will be excellent, don't get me wrong.
The food is top notch and well executed but its fame stems from the cachet of going rather than the food, really. It's just slightly dull.

I've only been once and I saw Roger Moore. I could have had a bot dog for dinner and I'd still have been happy.

Was he swinging on a luger?
Whoever I see in The Ivy, I shall ask them if they know you. Most famous people do, right?

They definitely do.
However they know to respect my wish to remain low-key so they'll tell you they don't.

I imagine their confusion might be genuine
if I ask them "do you know Monty Boyce? No I don't know his real name. You know, MONTY BOYCE"

Always focusing on the negative
