Entry for December 29, 2006

I made it back alive from Iain's Pool Hall and Den of Iniquity. Any man who can offer you not only a pool table but also a choice of types of pool ball (i.e. stripes and spots or reds and yellows) is a man (a) who has spent a lot of time sourcing equipment on the internet and (b) whose friendship is to be courted.
Adrian suggested that the Games Room is simply an attempt by Iain to extend his adolescence indefinitely. Iain, puffing on a cheeky Benson and Hedges as he put on another Marillion CD, cheerfully agreed. He might also have pointed out that, at the first opportunity, we were up re-living our lost youth at his considerable expense.
It is always good to see Adrian, because he is also writing a law book, and we are able to moan at one another for long periods without fear of the glazed look of indifference that I have come to know so well. We were able to chat happily about the best way to indent quotations and the intricacies of cross-referencing. Honestly, you should have been there.
