The drunken men are having trouble getting rid of a second ticket to Roy Keane’s testimonial tonight apparently. I wish I was a tech journalist

like a beautiful woman in a nightclub surrounded by drunken men, despite the fact that her wedding ring is visible to everyone around her.

“Can I buy you lunch?” “Sure.”
“Can I bring you along to a football match?”. “Sure.”
“Can I bring you along to a rugby match?”. “Sure.”
“Want to come to America with me and the lads?”. “Ok.”
“Want to come to a U2 gig?”. “Fine by me.”

Maybe there’s a reason the drunken men think she’s loose?

That’s a good analogy except I think it gives tech-journalists too much credit.

Tech journalists are merely the condom machines in the men’s toilets. I have this on good authority from a tech journalist who admits he spends most of his time at these events leaning against a wall in the gents….
