After hearing of the Cutting Edge Japanese Swords exhibition at the British Museum, Andy Loukes and I just had to meet up with Jasper Wallace to gawp at around 100 swords, daggers, and other Japanese works of art. After that we didn't have much time to visit the rest of the museum, so it seemed appropriate to go to the Asian department in the time we had left.

A trip up to Liverpool, and doing the Beatles tour.

Our third year going to Gordon's New Year bash

Our by-now annual appointment at Confucius's Chinese New Year celebrations

The Confucius Chinese Restaurant in Chichester became something of a second home, where we'd meet up after work to chat and drink and eat and then drink some more.    The Chinese New Year celebrations were a good excuse to do that some more, but all night.
