To help celebrate her birthday, Milena invited us to join her, Tony, Fred and Wilf at the Saints' bar in/close to Leicester Square and eat at their Harlem styled restaurant. The food was superb - there were no complaints from anyone, the music was loud and funky, and company was wonderful. Helle, for reasons cogniscent only to her, drank only champagne. Lots of champagne. So when Helle discovered that the waitress was Danish, she started going over the top (who was she trying to impress) and started singing Happy Birthday to Milena in Danish. Helle, Milena is Turkish, she didn't understand a word you were saying. Of course I took the opportunity to practise my smattering of Danish, and asked for more water. I think the waitress was impressed.

Come turf out time, Helle who continued to dance and drink, was steaming. It took us two and a half hours and a taxi to get home!!(forty minutes would have been reasonable). Why? I'll spare Helle her blushes, but suffice to say that's the last time I'll travel with her on a night bus after a 'session'. Anyway, some pictures can be seen here.
