Walkabout Fly

There are flies that buzz you which piss you off and then there are flies which really piss you off.

The Flea went for a quick Kangaroo steak and pint of beer with friend YumYum after work yesterday at the Walkabout in Covent Garden. They were 'enjoying' a beefy tasting emaciated piece of overcooked 'kangaroo steak' and a couple of pints when a small winged cousin of the Flea began to bother them.

Usually a few lazy swats will drive such pestilence to the next table in a pub, but this winged assassin was determined to put an end to somebody's drink as he performed a kamikaze dive into the Flea's pint...

Hello 2007!

So the passing of another year and the dawn of the next. The Flea spent a pleasant evening in the company of the Daffodil and the Bodger aka Bagic amongst various others, in their local north London, despite being slightly off the pace due to a recent bout of gastric flu. Well, better to start the new year on the mend than deteriorating!

Personally, the Flea has resolved to put a little more bounce into everything this year, a new plan to get back to marathon fitness levels and to visit his 'office' more (Borders on Charing X Road where he has been known to read whole books in two visits!).

The Flea wishes everybody a happy new year and hopes 2007 will be a great one for all!
