I'd always wanted to be asked, and now I’m living in a flash pad in Point Chev with an 8 person Jacuzzi and a cat named Disco

The place isn’t mine, but it is for the next 2 weeks. At last I’m being seen as someone who can do more than just party till dawn at the drop of a hat; a regular person, trusted, living unattended in another person’s home. So, who wants to come on over for a night-cap and get wrinkly in the spa? Drop me a line on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=604755155

As usual you can find my weekly review online (click here). Now onto the good stuff...
