Thanks to the generosity of "a well-known global drinks company" which sells Guinness, I'm now through the £2,500 barrier.
Naturally I'm rather pleased. It just sounds like a lot of money - say it, "two and a half thousand pounds" (hope you did) - and clearly we're not finished yet.
This little landmark also provides an admittedly lame excuse for me to tell you about my mate Ben and the Two And A Half Club.
Ben's a Cockney Diamond Geezer whose dad drives a London cab. We also fancy ourselves as the next Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant (don't laugh or, on second thoughts, perhaps do 'cos that's the whole idea) and hope to have the pilot episode of our first sitcom written by the end of June. More of that another time.
Anyway, you know how you get to a Wednesday lunchtime and you realise you've done two and a half days of the working week (assuming you work Monday to Friday) and there's just two and a half days left to the weekend? "The Hump," as Chris Evans called it on the radio the other day.
Well, in one of Ben's many previous jobs whilst still living in that London, they had the Two and A Half Club which had only one rule/activity. Every Wednesday lunchtime to mark the occasion, all members had to meet in the pub and drink two and half pints before returning to their desks.
What a great idea and, like most of the best ideas, it's simple! I trust you feel better for me sharing that with you.
Oh, and watch out for our sitcom.
