Party! Er, wait...

It's the office Christmas party tonight.

It's press day tomorrow.

Colour me glum.

This gives you the perfect opportunity to test a blogged theory I saw the other day that a 'cleansing ale' after wine leaves you feeling fine. I have tried it once, and it worked, though there could have been any number of reasons why it was successful. However, I assure you that getting nissed on beer and then hitting the vino leaves one hugging the toilet, in veritas.

Besides, what kind of Aries says no to a party?

Oooh, I know - the Beeb says it's not lining one's stomach that helps, it's the amount of fat in that lining that's crucial. So snack on a Terry's chocolate orange in honour of moi, grab the nearest bottle of Tussies or pom equivalent, behave as badly as possible, then calm down with a cleansing ale and enjoy press day tomorrow.

(Is it only blogging that leaves one with this deluded sense of solving everyone's problems?)

Oh I'm not saying NO, nonono, that would be Wrong. I'm just saying... bollox. They've started without me. And will finish without me. And tomorrow will be horrible. Ooh-er. And Beloved Consort is on night shift so I won't even have someone waiting up with a big glass of water before bed. Horrid.

The whole wine/beer thing is odd; your advice is exactly the opposite of what I'm usually told... Bier nach wein, somethingsomethingsomething; Wein nach Bier, das rad ich dir. Well. I plan to follow my usual strategy (when sufficiently sober to have a 'strategy'): alternate alcohol with coke. That's assuming I can lay my paws on non-alcoholic drinks vouchers.

And yes, I too find that I am full of good advice for bloggers. Have to restrain myself from posting all sorts of annoyingly 'helpful' comments to perfect strangers. Oh wait, maybe that's just cause I'm a pushy Aries know-it-all. Hm.
