Farewell Steve and Julie…

Steve and Julie are off to foreign climbs, the thing I really respect about their decision is that it is mostly spontaneous and also the, “You only live once!” attitude that Steve admirably harbours. Their leaving party was at the Windsor Tavern last night and there was quite a turn out, met up with some old freinds including James Watts of all people who I have not seen for a L O N G time and he’s still as ugly as ever (only kidding of course…I still couldn’t bring myself to ask him to do a tortoise impression though). Julian Binks looking well, Lee Watson who I’m sure isn’t too affable or amiable with me as I used to fancy his wife! (before they were together). Forgot how sweet Julie is and what a lucky man Steve is, who was proudly showing off photographs of his son playing football and rightly so. I felt very Single throughout the night as everyone had their partners along with them and I was kinda towing along behind most of the time. Have some photo’s that I will upload later if they came out ok.

I’ve just learned something quite interesting, the term for annoying emails “SPAM”, originates from the Monty Python Sketch in which a restaurant serves all its food with lots of spam, and the waitress repeats the word several times in describing how much spam is in the dishes served on the menu. When she does this, a group of Vikings (don’t ask) in the corner start singing:
“Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam! Wonderful spam!”

Please! No pretentious comments!
