The Mandrill's - 'Wha...Wha...What are you doing..?!'

We had the Mandrills down this weekend. Here's a nice picture of them.

The one on the left is 'The Coot', 'Mandrette' sits on the right.

We (Helen and I) have know The Mandrills for about 6 years now, Helen was my boss for a while when we lived and worked in North London, and she took on The Coot to work along side me in the Client Liaison department of a company whose name is no longer mentioned in polite company. I believe our first conversation was about Pink Floyd, and it was only a short hop from there to the Beatles, Kubrick, breasts, and the worse kind of unPCness imaginable. The Mandrette is his erstwhile partner and all four of us have been good chums ever since.

This weekend was the usual mix of eating, viewing and increasingly loud conversations and debates ranging in subject from the failure of modern pop music, the merits of Cameron's Titanic, to fierce arguments over who has farted. Having the Mandrill's down is never a dull experience......
