I was at a sponsorship night and failed miserably! Ah but I didn't drink any alcohol so that surely counts??! As head honcho I had to visibly partake in all we were offering our guests otherwise it'd be very rude right??

Actually by dessert I was so cheesed off with 'failing' that I wasn't feeling in...well let's just say I was a tad pipped off.

Moving around the dining table I 'worked' the guests, giving them all individual attention, telling them all about what their fabulous hosts and sponsors did and then settled to talk to a couple of GP's (doctors in general practice)

Hmmmm

Lady Doctor was seated at the end (or head, depending on your interpretation) of the table with her husband, Man Doctor. Man Doctor was quite pleasant, sitting upright and eating his supper and drinking his wine. Lady Doctor on the other hand had her right elbow on the table and her head slumped into the palm of her hand whilst poking her food with a fork held with the thumb and forefinger of her left hand.

'so, how do you make it work'Lady Doctor snarled at me

'what in particular' I am confused

Lady Doctor flings her fork across her plate

'the restaurant'

Lady Doctor refills her wine glass

'well we have considerable years in managing developments all over the country and...

'you are all the same, what makes you think you lot can do it, so many businesses fail you know'

'I'm very proud that we've been doing very well for many years'

'yeah? Well what's the catch my dear'

Lady Doctor continues to guzzle her wine

Man Doctor simply carries on eating without any emotion

'I don't think there is one,and we are very fortunate to ha...'

'silly woman, there's always a catch'

Lady Doctor refills her wine glass yet again...

'I'm not sure that our customers would necessarily agree with th......'

The other guests are looking up

'Bollocks! You're all crap. There is always a catch'

Oh dear

Lady Doctor picks up the wine bottle once again.

Man Doctor keeps his head down finishing his strawberry meringue

I leap up

'Absolutely and the catch is.... no more wine'

I take the bottle from a startled Lady Doctor and suggest that she moves into the bar if she's unhappy with us, her sponsors.

Before she can speak, and before the party of guests, I jump up, pull her seat and lift her out as I say;

'No please, please. Don't let me keep you here if you feel uncomfortable about taking our hospitality'

'But I don....'

'No I insist'

I lead a startled Lady Doctor into the bar and deposited her with the manager.

Man Doctor rose, thanked me for the hospitality and led Lady Doctor out of the building............

Me? Well I couldn't WAIT for Day 3..............
