You may not be a doctor, but your medical advice is sound. A food coma is healing endeavour for body and soul. Speaking of: must bring back Kazakh vodka from duty-free on this Zurich trip.
Let's go with Ms. For, truly, I am wedded only to the sea. Or at least the romantic notion of it.
I worked right on the corner of Upper Ground for two years while they were doing construction on Sea Containers and that ridiculous tower of flats. Nightmare. All day, every day, for two years: banging and juddering and clanging and traffic and whistles ... I can't actually rule out its influence on the determination that I hated working in that office and wanted to go self-employed.
Anyway, I've not been to Sea Containers now it's finished. Let's grab sonofasailor for a drink there and, if he dares oppress you, I'll chuck him straight into the Thames. Although your retribution might have to wait. Apparently, if you tell all your mates you're anti-social and grumpy, an air of exclusivity emerges, and you end up even more sought-after for plans.
P.S. I'm sorry to hear about your haunted pumpkin pie.
