One of your bevy of female emissaries has just popped in and requested a table for you which I have duly allocated. Only one chair though; thought you might like that.
Best Regards,

OK, you can have one of the arms. And many thanks. We promise not to try and order ‘breadcrumbs’ again.
BevVy surely?
You gotta know the patois.
Thats an anagram of patios.
[quote=“TomHill”]Google accepts bevy, not bevvy.
I won’t be narky again. Not for a while.[/quote]
Yes Tom. It is gratifying to note that you now recognise the distiction between ‘bevy’ and ‘bevvy’, though after 10 pints it becomes a little less clear admittedly.
Oh no you didn’t Edgar! …you calling our Tommy a girl?
I’m sure there will be other very manly men there to see our boy off, but they just haven’t responded in this thread. Anyway, if you don’t come for the company, come for the food. Carnegies has good food.
Carnage has stupendous food. Stupendous.
I’ll be there I think, except some fuckers are having an election tomorrow, apparently, so I have to be at the orifice at 2. Who’s having a fucking election on a bloody Saturday? Stupid tossers.
Quel temps are we dite-ing aboot?
If the gentleman known as Broonsomethingorother can be restrained in his overvocalising of random denigrations and coarse colloquialisms, and if he brings Geraldine, the opportunity to engage the mysterious Mr Hill in some real-life repartee and intelligent banter on the eve of his redeparture in the presence of such flower-fresh (and intellectually stimulating) femininity may prove irresistable, even to such a surly old curmudgeon as myself.
But if I come to Carnegies I will have to get very drunk and then iintorducemyself to Bob again, swear blind I’m not drunk etc…its become something of a tradition.
Can anyone come to this lunch. I have only been in Taipei for 2 months and have run out of things to talk about with my school chums. Would love to meet some new peeps. Or is this luncheon for friends only?
You’ll have to ask Tom. Everyone else hates each other. Especially me. You could talk to the little boy with the pointy white hat in the corner known as jdsmith (he’s the one with the British - American dictionary). He’ll appreciate having company of a type that doesn’t have an ‘esc’ key in the top left-hand corner.
With a handle like ‘The Bad News’ we may have to reserve you the spot at the top of the table.
Of course you are welcome. Just bring your sailor’s dictionary. It’s gonna be a blue one.
