Back Benches and Champagne

Another fun night watching Back Benchers yesterday. Cactus Kate was in town so we settled in early at 5 pm. Highly amusing as she berates the waitress for the lack of decent champagne available in the bar, and the bar owner being at the table next to us.  However the staff redeemed themselves by following the instruction to automatically bring out a new bottle whenever the existing bottle got below 20% full.

We ended up with a very mixed table with Kate (ACT), myself (Nat), Will de Cleene (Greens/ACT), a 9th floor staffer (Labour), a National Radio presenter and an Electoral Commission staffer. Made for a fun night, which once again ended up at Mighty Mighty in Cuba Mall.
