La Tasca - goodbye

Details
Created: 11 April 2008

I have just come to my very last visit to a La Tasca establishment. If you are going to do Spanish tapa as a bar and restaurant, then do it properly for God's sake.

Me and Stu
I have managed to get some more photos from Stuart.

These now include the lobster tomfoolery, if you missed out on all that. We had our own little party in the kitchen.

Ha, so much for a quiet night in

the big 4-0
OK, in the end I didn't get my rack of lamb and my nice bottle of red wine but what I did get was a surprise party at home, although watching Guy and Laura turn up in their car just as I was getting into the house nearly gave it all away.

Those pesky people at work had me believing they were all heading off home and so on.

Thanks everyone. It was a really good night - Champagne, vodka, absinthe and whisky (although most of the 12 year old Glenlivet ended up on the floor) made for a lively birthday party.

Not so sure about the 10 minute defrosted (if that) lobster and dim sum at 11pm. 

Photos from the night's shenannigans are here: Gordon's 40th party photos

Four decades on!

40 years young
How Sad
How sad to post my own birthday on my own web site.

Anyway, just to say a big thanks to the pressies, balloons around my desk at work and for keeping out my way while I sulk on my 40 years young. 

A bit of Canard-Duchene Champagne and a drop of Chateau Musar 2000 is called for tonight. 

£60 for a tank full of petrol!

Wow, first time I have paid £60 to fill up with petrol.

Jeez, life is getting expensive. Does mean I get more Tesco points and cash back from Capital One though.


Arrgggghhhhh.

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
