Comments:

Surprised to see Bro Broad for the first time in ages, and since I'd blocked him on WhatsApp for being an ignorant twat.  His efforts at being normal didn't last long,.  Anyway, you'd have been mistaken for thinking we were observing a lodge meeting in Nigeria.  Both Deacons and the Initiate most definitely hailed from African subcontinent.  The junior warden did a pretty good job, considering, as someone pointed out, English wasn't his native tongue.  Last part of the ceremony was particularly painful as the bloke presenting suffered complete brain fog and had to be helped the whole way through.  We walked to the restaurant at the end of the block and I sat with Mark.  Then after being invited to move nearer the top table I sat at a table by myself and stared at the wall.  Struck up a conversation with James about our mutual love of Border Collies but it fizzled out as he's yet another self-absorbed Masonic bore.  Spoke briefly with the new assistant Provincal ???????? bloke, Rav or Radge, about Stan Samson, who he mentioned in a speech, but basically sat there looking like a right twat.  Luckily, Mowbray don't go in for all of the shite that usually follows the meal so I got away about eleven.  Darren Broad sat opposite the new lad and preached the Masonic way for the entire meal, I'll be surprised if he comes back.  Blanked Martin Lawson on the way out.  

Come to the realisation that we might all be Masons but that doesn't mean we have to be sociable or happy to see each other.  In fact, I think it's probably more of the opposite.
