Currencies delegates in drinking shock
I had forgotten the joys of travelling at rush hour in Central London, over 1 hour to travel just 5 miles on the tube. Sardines have more space and are slightly less smelly than the trip from Earls Court to Moorgate. I am used to air-conditioned trains with plugs to charge your phone or laptop. The third world lives in London. So a good day of high level currencies discussions, was rewarded with several pints of London Pride at some city pub called the Old Morgans Head or something before we adjourned to Zizzi’s restaurant in the Cromwell Road, an Italian establishment.
That nice lady decorator has some rather awkward explaining to do, in my opinion. On a gradual scale, as the alcohol she consumes takes effect, exponentially she becomes more friendly with strangers, inviting then to join our select group of Currencies Direct experts. After the 4th such addition, an Irish man who was so boorish and so drunk that he was being held up by his friend, I suddenly remembered that we were to meet for breakfast at 8am this morning and retired to my penthouse (well second floor room with a view of a brick wall). That was at 1am after we had left the restaurant (in the rain that I predicted) where the first of the sad unfortunates that she found had joined us, and we adjourned to the bar of the hotel kindly provided by our sponsors, Currencies Direct, in the Cromwell Rd.
Whilst sensibly, I retired to bed, some others whom I shall not name (but Pippa Maile, Alan Monks and Janey from Friend In France may well wish to hang their heads in shame this morning), including that nice lady decorator continued celebrating the world of currencies until about 3am.
Doubtless this morning or more likely throughout the day, I will be regaled by those present with stories of the resident plasterers bad behaviour, flirting with men, knocking things over, losing her phone, falling over and the like this morning when the jaded party will reconvene. How do I know this? Because these events always occur when she gets on a mission, these are the normal results, I am in trepidation about what other faux pas she will have visited on herself.
Today to the aptly named, for me, The France Show at Earls Court. It is a nice gesture for Currencies Direct to have the celebration of all things french named after me and in jest I ask the beautiful and serene Zoe Duncombe, our leader, if I shall be required to sign autographs. She also has a laser beam stare which she is able to set to stun at the drop of a hat or the utterance of something she considered stupid, so stunned as I was, I went outside to sit on the naughty step, where I am given a nice cigar by fellow delegate Archie, a Scotsman who unaccountably spent most of the evening singing old Irish songs.
I fear today will be a long one and may require a siesta before whatever city treat awaits me this evening.
