The perils of drink

Last night we had a little drink and canapes session at Bank restaurant in London. We wanted to introduce a few more journalists to Zopa, so we invited a broad cross section of the press to come along and chat to us and a few members (Many thanks to Pete and Emma, Roderick and David who kindly volunteered their time - much appreciated!)

The evening was great fun - and will hopefully mean that Zopa will get written about (and maybe filmed for TV again!) in the near future…but around 11 o’clock, the wine and beer vanished…and cocktails started arriving.

I felt it was time to leave before things went downhill rapidly - sadly Tom failed to see the warning signs - and got home at 4am this morning.

I think he got home a bit earlier this evening…

I speak for both myself and Emma when I say that the vast majority of Thursday involved headaches, nausea, and sitting very very still.

Very still indeed.

I’m glad it wasn’t just me, then, that wanted to get my head down on the desk all day.

Thanks, Dave, for an enjoyable evening.

Who would have thought that Baileys was such a dangerous tipple?

They weren’t Baileys, they were White Russians - there’s a big difference.

Memory is such a precious thing. Unfortunately the latter part of the evening is somewhat missing… It’s probably safer that way however!
