In their company, I felt myself flowering in the middle of conversations that could never be had in the rock milieu, let alone the industry. I struggled to keep up with their quick wit and informed minds. They were generous with me, and patient.

Regrettably, there are not quite enough sandwiches in their present picnic box to make a meal. I cannot recall less competent service than this at any pub. One small example: the Minx ordered tea, which arrived in a pot. I had to go to the bar and request a teacup.
Tut tut.
