Ben is leaving, running off to Ireland or some such place.   This sucks and is the behaviour of a cad and a bounder.   However, since we do love him really, we thought that we'd better have a party to say cheerio.      We hope that he remembers us when he gets to the land of the leprechauns and we look forward to the occasional dose of trans-Atlantic abuse, just so that we don't all become nice or anything in his absence.   .  
The usual suspects were all there.

There was beer in the washing machine
Ayana said that we should drink out of the side of the beer cans, instead of out of the top.   I think that this is a pretty daft idea, and that opinion has nothing to do with the fact that I was rubbish at it.
Todd was not actually taking Ben hostage here.   He'd just given Ben that t-shirt
A few beverages were consumed during the evening.
Laughing or crying?
