The evening proceeded more or less the same, I tried in vain to find Ms Claudia Lake whom I was told was also there to help us in the hosting ceremonies but I suspect at this stage she had probably found my vulgar display of manners quite unsettling and must have pretended that she was not whom I thought she was when I approached her. As for Poull I was only much later able to find him where he was kind enough to offer me a bottle of vodka which unfortunately I had to share with Roy and all his beautiful friends (yes- it’s true- merry company makes the drinking so much more pleasant…).
All in all it was a brilliant evening and I am of the opinion we all had so much fun, and even if there was a contest to pick the best dressed guest in my humble opinion you all damn won- so there- who said aspiring (or in my case actual) publishers never cry?!

Great event!
I’m not sure what’s worse, making the official picture record for a party or being labeled a “dandy”. I submit that dandy is quite a bit like calling a man a metrosexual a few years ago. Perhapse we could just do away with the labels altogether, but then readers would have to form their own opinions and we can’t have that.
