It's been a 'quick' weekend, it always seems to be when you have a big night out on the Saturday. Yesterday I went to an event at Olympia for people interested in start ups, there was a wealth of information and a dragons den type stage where you had a chance to pitch your idea to a panel of successful business people and get their feedback on whether they thought the idea would work. My ideas are way to raw to try myself but it was fun watching others. Some interesting ideas, it seems there are a huge number of people out there wanting to start a business but perhaps don't have the knowledge or money to do so on their own.
Anyway I started on the Guinness at 4pm in a pub near Olympia station, reading a book (The Financial Times Guide to Business Start Up 2008 by Sara Williams) that I had picked up from the start up event. I then continued on the Guinness in The Walkabout in Covent Garden to watch some of the Great Britain v NZ league test. After a few pints I finally made my way to Lucie's 30th birthday party near Mansion House station which was a great laugh involving countless more Guinness - you see the pattern here.
Today I am very hungover. I made it out of bed at 11am, only to eat some breakfast then head back to bed for a few hours. Very unlike me. Very glad the head has stopped pounding now.
The highlights of the day have to be meeting Blaine and Lisa's new daughter Lana (who was very cute) and having a GBK kiwiburger + lime shake for dinner (sorry for the comparison Blaine & Lisa).
Back to bed now having just watched Wild Hogs, which was surprisingly good and funny.
