      I originally intended to write this on Monday, but I'm sure everyone knows
      that blogging about having a beer isn't always at the top of the To Do
      list.

      Last Friday we went down the pub with Allen and Dave for a few pints.
      Good fun night, even had cold Newcastle Brown which is quite rare, and
      Allen won the award for Most Outrageous Statement that week.  Vicky
      mis-heard and still was in shock, when she was corrected she nearly cried
      laughing.  Don't worry mate, it's our secret [nudge nudge wink wink].

      On Saturday they came over in the evening for a solid night of drinking,
      curry and films.  Specifically:
    </p>
    <dl>
      <dt>Drinking</dt>
      <dd>
        Red wine, lager (Asahi, Cobra and Honeywaggle), followed by Absinthe.
        Well, Allen and Dave had a small shot each, foul stuff.
      </dd>
      
      <dt>Curry</dt>
      <dd>
        Onion bahjees, lamb tikka masala, vege korma, lamb garlic chilla tikka,
        chicken tikka jalfrezi, rice and peshwari naans.
      </dd>

      <dt>Films</dt>
      <dd>
        We started the evening off on a low by watching <cite>The X
        Factor</cite>.  The least said about that the better, to be honest.
        This was followed by <cite>Shaun Of The Dead</cite> which is
        <strong>excellent</strong>, <cite>Donni Darko</cite> which is also great, most
        of <cite>Deuce Bigalo: Male Gigolo</cite> (amusing, especially after
        the above) and <cite>A Fish Called Wanda</cite>.
      </dd>
    </dl>
    <p>
      Allen and Dave slept over in the front room, thankfully they were alive the
      next day and had failed to vomit into household appliances, so after
      breakfast and showing Allen some <cite>Spaced</cite>, fancying a bit of
      change we went... to see <cite>Anchorman</cite> at the cinema!  Not a
      great film, and some bits dragged on, but the rest of the film is pretty
      good.  My verdict is to go see it when it's cheap.
