Fine with me.  I very nearly said so up front (thinking you might ask) in my original post, but then I feared no one else would want to play.

Of course, if no one does, it will only confirm my colleagues' suspicions that these things "only happen to you, tc" and that somehow Douglas Adams was writing about me: "You *do* lead an interesting life Mr Beeblebrox."

Of course, that's tempered by the time I joined three other dads accompanying two school teachers and their class of 9-10 year olds I think it was on a week long adventure trip.  In the bar at the end of the day the other dads and I would chat.  One of them was a former policeman with lots of interesting tales to tell ("and then he pulled a gun on me") whereas my stories tended to be much more mundane ("oh, yes, Jakarta was where a prostitute approached the gangway of the ship when I was on nightwatch and despite no common language made it obvious who she was.  Perhaps fortunately, I was 22 and she was about 80.  It really wasn't a temptation".  It got commented on towards the end as wryly amusing.

Perhaps that's why I've always enjoyed 'slice of life' Traveller adventures as much as the grand-scale 'save the universe' type of thing.  It's the dull librarian[1] in me trying to get out.  :-)

You'll perhaps be pleased to hear that I got to work without incident today.
