Perils of table-quiz attendance
When attending a table-quiz in aid of Mountain Rescue with your girlfriend (who works for the same company as you, but in a different building), keep in mind that your girlfriend’s boss, a keen hiker, might turn up when you least expect it. And sit at the table next to you and your girlfriend, and make witticisms, and be more than capable of observing any casual hand-on-girlfriend’s-leg/arm/shoulder positionings. Keep in mind too that drinking alcohol at said event will only encourage the positionings.
In fact, the above rule applies when attending a restaurant in Ranelagh, going to any Dublin cinema, walking hand-in-hand down Dublin city-centre streets, or engaging in pretty much any public display of affection within a five-mile radius either company building.
Sigh. At least I knew that James Joyce was buried in Zurich. But not that the Sandinista rebellion happened in Nicaragua.

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
