Hong Kong Rugby Sevens
We went out for a quiet drink last night. Lockhart Road, in the heart of Wanchai District, was quiet. It seemed like a ghost town, with only the occasional cheer from those watching the Sevens on the big screen in another pub. (Devil's Advocate - they seem to have a funny cable TV subscription that gets them different channels from the other pubs.)
At about 8pm, the Sevens must have finished for the day, as the street was suddenly awash with people. I do believe that there's a member of the MLCCC in there somewhere.

Customer Service
You know, when a mistake is made when handing change back to a customer, the correct response is "sorry, I'll put that right straight away", not hysterical screeching and wailing about how I'm trying to get someone into trouble with her boss.

St. Patrick's Day
Well, once again Lá Féile Padraig rolls around, the national festival of Ireland, in which we honour a Welshman (or maybe a Roman) who we kidnapped and who subsequently hated the place enough to force us all to convert to Christianity.
I will point you to waider's very fine memo on the subject of St. Patrick's Day.
I haven't had my vaguely traditional bowl of snake soup this year, as my parents, who are vegetarians, were visiting. Perhaps over the weekend.
