I don't think I've had enough Scotch this winter. 

That's my plan for Friday... support the orange team while having some orange (amber...?)

I am too busy self flagellating after our finals exit.

I am happy though to join your coup.

Do you even know how to coup? You can’t coup yourself! It’s not a coup if you’re joining in to overthrow yourself. Silly bugger.

Currently at a function at MCC. 
The Ox was first speaker. Told some stories about his gambling mishaps- funny and entertaining…. but the message was clear. 
Terrific speaker and entertainer!

Plenty of casks I hope.

Should I send the horse and cart to ferry you home to the manor, when the casks are empty?

And then you found out you were direct descendants of Lord Mountbatten and had inherited a series of Loire Valley Chateaux, which is awful because you just know how dusty those things get.
