All the chair's a stage

Quote of the day from my friend Amy, who has taken voluntary redundancy and had her leaving do last night. She clambered onto a chair then couldn't think of anything to say, so made us all sing Kumbaya (and came in at twenty past THREE this afternoon):

Amy: "Were you there last night?"
Me: "Yes darling, I was holding onto you when you were giving your 'speech' so you didn't fall off the chair."
Amy: "Ah! It was a chair! I did remember wondering why the stage was so small."

Nights down at the Walrus aren't going to be quite the same without her.
