Well, for dinner tonight Richard and I went to Empire again, this time selecting a Hot 'n' Spicy pizza - 16", no less. Trouble is, the Empire's quantity of spice in their pizzas seems to jump from "not really very spicy at all" (Spicy Chicken) to "unbelievably hot" (the aforementioned pizza, even though I took the pepperoni off). That wasn't a pizza, it was a thermonuclear device.

Afterwards we finally got together in real life and did something for a change instead of just sitting around in the chatroom, namely playing Monopoly - all the Melvillites except Paul, but he wandered in later with Gillian - who is now engaged, so congratulations to her.

I was out of the game very quickly, shortly after having to pay £1150 to stay in a hotel - Richard saved me there - and sort of stood around watching other people drop out.

I think I've safely forgotten all the acids that I learned now.
