Hello madam, hello sir,

cheers to those that came to the Good Ship at the weekend, it was a lot of fun. This week there is lots of cultural and uncultural stuff during the week and then a banging weekend as per. I won't be there as I will be away in Brighton raising a few beers to my birthday so no misbehaving over the weekend when I'm not there eh?
