Alcoholic fast ruined by wingco

If you were interested in having an affair and you wanted insurance in case you were found out, would you use go compare.com? If you were in a hurry would you consider insure and go? These questions have been bothering me in case I ever considered having an affair, even though that nice lady decorator is not in favour. I wonder if Steve Weston, whose love of sheep has been well documented on these pages has insurance with the National Farmers Union? Actually I have nor heard from Steve for some weeks, I suspect he lying low or (lowing lie?, look it up in the dictionary if not understood, lowing is, as Steve is well aware, a noise made by cattle including sheep).

Everything is well in the world, the sun is out, the south of France radiant once again as my picture shows and then;

The ancient Provencal village of Plascassier in the evening sunlight. This is the sort of photo you want.

So there I was, contemplating the serious business ahead of me at The France Show in the missionary position of bring ing the good news about Currencies Direct to the eager masses this coming weekend, with me fresh from the lack of alcohol and reinvigorated due to the excessive exercise I had endured, that, and the carbohydrate starved diet, when I got the call from Greg at Cote d’Azur Villas about meeting for lunch at the Auberge St Donat for lunch to discuss the niceties if the golf holiday offering we are planning. I immediately thought of my alcoholic fast, and fleetingly I considered a lunch without drinking anything but water, or even making the excuse of a mythical earlier engagement, but my business brain imposed itself and I accepted. Then Greg said “I have spoken to the wingco and he is coming as well. At that moment I knew. The fast was over, accept the inevitable, and stop being what the wingco would describe as a “boring bastard”. I could hear that nice lady decorater in the back of my mind saying ” he sank your battleship?” with that questioning look which is more penetrating than even the Gestapo can bring to bear, but still I found the willpower too weak and I succumbed. And so, shame faced, I admit that my resolve was once again found wanting and I succumbed to the temptation, that is embodied in those two words; lunch and wingco.

And very pleasant it was. Much business of many facets was discussed, a great deal if red wine was removed from this world and discussions continued into the afternoon on the wingco’s terrace where once again his seemingly inexhaustible supply of cognac was tested to its limits.

It’s not good and it’s not clever, but it was enjoyable, and now I feel ready to face The France Show tomorrow. An email from old rock n roll pal John Otway, he of the constantly failing career, rescued only by bouts of fame caused by his claim to be a failure, (a career that spans 35 years nonetheless) draws attention to the fact that he is gutted that I appear to be headlining Earls Court. He has headlined many notable venues including the Royal Albert Hall in his illustrious career, but thus far a headline slot at Earls Court has eluded him. Fame is not something one chases, but sometimes it is thrust upon one and one must accept the mantel of responsibility that it brings.
