Heard a bit of bad news today

One of my semi regular clients, Jimmy at The Exelsior (I do about 10 gigs a year for him) rang me up and told me that he's getting kicked out his pub.

Apparently, he had a problem with the inland revinue, so Punch Taverns (who owns The Excelsior) told Jimmy that the IL would want to seize the lease as an asset.
However, Punch had a plan.
All Jimmy had to do was surrender the lease, then Punch would arrange a new lease to his wife.
Day saved

Unfortunatly, after giving them the lease the double crossing gits have now give the lease onto someone else, and they've told Jimmy they want him out ASAP.
He's having a leaving do this Saturday, so will have to try and get there for a beer or two if i'm not working.

Another one bites the dust

This evening was rather unusual for my sort of Tuesday evenings. But it was not less than great!!
