Oh, and I now have to join the AA as a personal member as well.<\/p>\n<p>On other fronts, I had a rather nice dinner last night at the Bear and Ragged Staff pub\/restaurant in Cumnor last night. The meal started with a rather large bowl of lovely, creamy soup followed by a &#8220;Barnsley Chop with crushed vegitables in a port sauce.&#8221; Yum.

I then have 3 nights off before Saturday when it&#8217;s another friend&#8217;s party.<\/p>\n<p>OK, so it sounds as if I have a packed social life. Well, not quite, just like buses, you wait a long long time and then they all turn up at once. A point in case is that I got a second invitation for a night out in Oxford to see the last Matrix film on Monday but had to turn it down. However, I have no other social occations after next Saturday for the rest of the month, or indeed until the Christmas party season.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes, before I forget, I splashed out on a new domain name for my home systems on Friday&#8230; lingula.org.uk.
