I write having just come back to my desk from the Laithwaites trade tasting in our Gallery Room at Vinopolis, which I must say seemed to go very well. Apart from the great wines there was a good calibre of trade in the room, which in part has prompted me to write this blog. Whilst there I took the opportunity to catch up with one of my ‘Strip team’ members.
Much of our conversation was based around comparing notes on training or perhaps in my case complete lack of it, which he highlighted as I was tucking in to the chorizo and parma ham on the buffet. We also discussed the efforts being undertaken by our other colleagues, which include a regular two hour Ergo session ( a rowing machine – we used these at school and I swore after I left I would not use one again) and a serious amount of free weights. Over the top I would say and we agreed that these guys need exposing!
By way of making myself feel better I proudly told my colleague that like Mrs Ellwood I was taking solace in the fact that some girls like men with a slightly portly look. Talking of Mrs Ellwood that reminds me of a recent conversation we had. Over a very nice dinner we were discussing, as one does, techniques that you might use for the an event like this. All was going very well until she asked me if I was going to “put something down there”. Well this rather took me back, I mean we have been happily married for 10 years, been together for 13 and now have two children. It is all a bit late to be telling me these things now don’t you think?
Well it is going to be a very fun night and Everyman is a great cause to be raising money for. I have two friends who were affected by Male cancer and both were successfully cured. Rest assured if the show doesn’t blow you away the venue will!
