On Saturday night P and I are going to see DJ Shadow at the Brixton Academy. I have been waiting years to see him. I may have waited a bit too long as his new album is “hip-hoppier” than his earlier work (including the spectacular Endtroducing), nevertheless I remain keen.

I have 4 tickets which, the astute amongst you will immediately appreciate, is two more than I need. If there are two bloggers out there who would like to go for the price of one (i.e. for £25) send me an email. There will be no need to have drinks with P and I before the gig but you would be welcome to do so if you want. I will pay for peanuts.

As a lawyer I lie for money, but you may not appreciate that I am a great fan of amateur lying. Tell me:

(1) In one sentence only, a really stupendous lie; and/or

(2) The biggest lie you have ever been told.

Any reference to Iraqi WMDs receives a demerit for lack of originality.

My Friday lie:

“Teeth do not grow naturally; they are hammered into your jaw as you sleep by your parents”.

I have finally found something that is better even than football.

I had lunch today with Katja, Fox and Gamba. I have endured any number of dreary client lunches in my time but lunch with three engaging, clever and funny women is a different experience altogether. I had such a good time I felt positively dizzy. Unfortunately for my companions that meant that my “inane babbling” switch tripped to “on” and locked there. Every now and again though I drew breath and they got to speak and, as a result, I can solemnly attest that they are every bit as charming and just as much fun as their blogs would lead you to believe.

Now I have to concentrate on fending off my post-steak nap.
