enroute to dinner with elan

Just received this from notre hote from Friday:

“Thank you all for a great evening (**** you have been given the royal pardon - but remind me never to take you out again - the chimpanzee ‘YYaKKKAzin YakkYAKK AERAKAZINK’ noises you were making seemed to work particularly well in alerting the rest of the dining room to the fact that care in the community is not a good thing) PS- I hope the port stains come out of your shirt, and the Maitre D’ has gotten over the shock of hearing the C word for the first time since he accidentally turned into a side street in Soho and asked a pimp for directions to Fortnum’s.”

Pics attached.

Remaining photos below. A truly wonderful evening, and one which we plan on making an annual event. Someone better have an organ to sell next year. And considering the Society’s funciton, I suggest we don’t try flogging anyone’s liver…
