I really need to stop drinking but my social life seems to revolve round it. I wish we did non-pub things from time to time as I am losing no weight at all due to the booze. Could drink diet drinks but it's difficult when everyone else isn't. And I don't want to neglect my social life either. It's s dilemma.

Taneli came round yesterday afternoon to pick up some things he had left behind last time he visited. Shortly afterwards, we went for a pub lunch at the Lawnswood Arms, a nice hostelry on a main road. Brewer's Fayre cum Brewsters has now rebranded to Fayre and Square. I wish they would stop changing their name. The food was vegetarian and lovely whilst the play park was inescapable.

We then went for a drive around North West Leeds visiting our favourite ale shop in Headingley and then Guiseley. I had a hissy fit over some teabags in Morrison's a la Peter Griffin and we discovered there was little in this salubrious suburb. We indulged in continental cafe culture British style - sat next to a windy car park outside a soulless Costa Coffee trying to dodge the advances of an inquisitive wasp. Inside, a customer was committing a section 5 public order offence with a waitresses which made her cry. Then we went to Pets At Home for no reason at all.

It was at this point Widor text us to say he was in Leeds so we headed into town to see him and Stray Jim who was with him. They were in trendy gay bar Queen's Court so we quickly dragged them somewhere far better for some real ale and a cheeseboard. Afterwards, late on, we met Patter in a different bar and much mirth was had by all.

I had to be up at 6am for work today so we headed home quite early. I watched a bit of TV for a while and saw a feature on a pornography company called Totally Tasteless Videos, which was big in the States in the Nineties. One of their specialities was nonagenarian porn which they broadcast bits of last night. I didn't sleep well. Those are images which sadly will now always be with me.

I was rather unwell last night :( possibly due to the high beer:food/water ratio.

I also misread the word "nonagenarian" to "Norwegian" in the text you sent last night, I was confused as to why Norwegian porn is so distubing :P

Yesterday was fun though, I enjoyed it muchly :)

I was very gassy, been trumping all day, but still managed to get up at 6.15am. I am quite proud of that achievement. I wish it was Norwegian porn - it would have been better than what I saw last night *shudder*
