The weekend started in fine style on Friday, when Terriem cooked a fabulous feast for Arkansas, spimcoot, Paul and me, and also supplied a range of wines carefully tailored to each course (and not just "best wines first, Hungarian country wine at the end once your tastebuds are shot" like usual). It turns out Terrie has a vast living room / dining

I usually keep a close check on my raging anger, but on this occasion the alcohol lowered the defences. At the time I was ashamed and simultaneously thrilled - and then we stepped out of the office into the dark and a big black man stood waiting for us in front of his minicab, and I had a sudden premonition of our deaths.

Still, as three adult men I'm sure we could have defended ourselves: Spim could have given the cabbie a chinese burn while I pulled on his hair and Paul made catty comments.

I keep reading that sentence as 'cut off the man's arm' which would have been excessive as it was only his finger at fault. Either way, I didn't notice this part of the action but the whole incident was rather more Curb Your Enthusiasm than Falling Down. I thought we took the black cab on principle, but cowardice is fine too.
