better than this morning.
Was eating breakfast, had had two mouthfuls and suddenly had an OH FUCK moment. Went to lectures with hair pulled up and pinned back so if I had to run out to vom it wasn't going to get in the way. The lecture room was JUST bright enough that it was stabby stabby in my eyes and I couldn't focus on the screen.

Elbow are a band and are therefore in the business of making music. If excellent lyrics are their stock in trade then surely Mr Sweaty Ginger Manc should be a poet. Moreover, I do like some of their songs, just not that one.

I had nothing to do with that as a choice.
My second first dance was "you and me song" by The Wannadies. That was quite funny, if only for the looks from the more elderly relatives.
I was tempted by "nothing else matters" but it's way too slow and been done to many times. I always fancied "iris" but was vetoed, sad times. Ditto the Biffy Clyro version of "umbrella". ah well, just have to get married again.

It's got plenty of truth. London high end cuisine disappeared up its own arse years ago, it's all emporer's new clothes or places you can't get into in a million years. And the old school favourites are as good up here as they are down there, the variety is as wide and the quality as good.

Meh, I'm giving it as an example of overall attitude
And I know not all London is like that. I lived there for fucking years. Just as you know that a lot of it exactly IS like that, and that's what I hate about it.
I know there's plenty of good restaurants. Plenty of shit ones, too, and that's the problem.

On the basis that it was his wedding too, and I wanted him to wear what he would be comfortable in.
And it wasn't a church wedding, as I'm not a massive hypocrite.

Dear Swipe,
As you are perpetually alone I would like to offer my services and be your +1 at your friend's wedding, I believe that on my arm, people may not stare quite so intently at your wonky eye, the cat food in your straggly hair or the dubious stains on that dress you're spilling out of.
I am prepared to offer the bride a lift to the registry office in my helicopter if it helps.
Best,
Quentin
