I went to a wedding in the Cotswolds (think of the shire) this weekend. It was for two of my closest and oldest friends and it was really special. (They’re the couple from the incident with the chalk penises!)

For any of my female readers essential reading re. pillow fights.

And finally I saw a discount drug store today that only sold ruck sacks near Victoria station, presumably stuffed with cheap drugs.

Apologies for the title, slightly oversold this post.

Did anyone see this article in the Daily Mail?

I mention it as I may have some professional relationship with one of the companies mentioned. I didn’t attend the event myself, but from what I hear this report is massively exaggerated. I was privy to some of the emails that were flying around trying to deflect blame away from anyone in the employ of my company and some very odd versions of events were surfacing.

My out and out favourite was: It was some knob from * * * apparently he ate a plate and then glassed someone. This was later refined to: a director from * * * ate a crystal champagne glass, he was then challenged to eat a plate. While he was attempting this feat someone smashed another crystal glass over his head and a fight broke out, apparently between him and one of his colleagues.

My favourite passage from the Daily Mail article is

When the lemon mousse arrived for dessert, the drunken surveyors forced each others' heads facedown into the pudding.
Clothes were then removed and underwear flaunted on the dance floor while others busied themselves setting fire to tables.

I’ve got a copy of the email mentioned in the article, but it’s not nearly as much fun as the article itself! I think I'd quite enjoy it if the Daily Mail scandalised my life, they're very good at it. (I'll still get The Sun to do my puns though).
