Quote Of The Week
"Given how much I've had to drink by this point, I stick to water for the rest of the evening. A wise move, because after chatting to various people I wander onto the dance floor and before I know it I'm sweating like a loon and looking very much like a 45-year-old man in the throes of the biggest mid-life crisis of all time (which is, of course, exactly what I am), flailing my limbs and swinging my hips like a good 'un. Thea, Theresa, some other editorial bods whose names I'm blanking on (Manya?) are already on the dance floor and don't seem to mind my ridiculous company. I somehow manage to keep up this nonsense for a good couple of hours. I'm not the oldest person in the room by any means, but I'm pretty sure I'm the oldest person dancing. I am a sad, sad man." -- Roger Langridge
