I feel somehow

that I should be there. If only I had known a little sooner. However, when I meet the guys tomorrow night, instead of my usual pint of Guinness, I will have something a little more 'Californian' - Pina Colada? This won't go down well (with my chums). Are there any alternatives? I don't drink spirits as a rule.

0
