Tighten up or shake it loose?


Happy Trafalgar Day!

What a week... Work has been a bitch again, but on Wednesday evening we were treated to a luxurious slap-up meal at London's oldest - and one of its most-renowned - restaurant, Rules! It was splendid, and provided a much-needed compensation for the daily grind.

That "grind" is now teetering to its bitter end - and we need to get the party started!

How about a "meeting of two regular blog features" - Soft Tempo Lounge and Thank Disco It's Friday?!

You think the ladies are good? Wait till the "safety gays" get going..!

[Music: Al Escobar & His Orchestra - Tighten Up}

Have a great weekend, folks!

    1. We had a Prime Minister? I hardly noticed...

      Yes, it's an omnishables here at the moment!

      At this rate, I could take a ticket, wait my turn, and become Home Secretary or Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster within a week. Jx

  2. In a competition to see which would last longer, Liz Truss or a head of lettuce, the lettuce won.

    1. The election within the Tory membership that got her in office took ten days longer than she lasted in post! She'd have been out sooner if HM The Queen hadn't died. Jx

  3. Rules looks rather nice - what a lovely treat! Presumeably, as it was a school night, you didn't get absolutely twatted and make a scene, so you can go back and enjoy it again another time?

    The second Safety Gay solo was very reminisent of that trio's break in Sophie Ellis Bextor's "Murder on the Dancefloor" video (about 1:30 in).

    1. It was a treat! I was executor for the will of our dearly departed friend Alistair. Now that estate is (almost) finally settled, this was a treat from his husband. A gorgeous place, beautiful food, and particularly poignant as it was somewhere Al liked a lot.

      PS Those safety gays certainly do know how to "murder a dancefloor"!

  5. I kept waiting for those ladies to shake some booty and look happy. I think they must be automatons.

  8. Oh my word. that was Murder on the Dance floor.
    The girls were like something from a Baccara wannabee competition.
    and I think woman on the sofa with the cigarette was actually squinting at the boys crutches. (I was)
