Actually, the stuff I was quaffing and eating was reassuringly expensive and it was rather fun to talk to the best chocolatier in the world, who is very focused on his craft.Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI never understood the attraction of getting pissed for free. Surely we can afford to get pissed at our own expense without really making a dent on our income.

Oh my. It's just as well my new contract isn't in London - those are contractor choccies!Originally posted by Dominic Connor View PostSpent last night at the opening of Paul A Young's new chocolate shop, was forced to eat very nice chocolates whilst Mr. Young's lackeys poured me champagne to clear my palette. Has a nice chat with the chief henchman who explained how the relative diffusion rates of different esters gave a layered taste and how they'd been working out how to get the crispness right using the Diamond Light Source.
It may not shock you to learn that the choccies are reassuringly expensive...
