My recipe for Disaster - Melbourne Cup 05

O lord please give me strength!!!!

1 bottle of very bubbly Lindauer Rose BEFORE midday
1 bottle of even more bubbly Orlando Trilogy before 4pm
3 vodka redbulls
numerous ouzo and cokes
3 cosmopolitans
20 cigarettes

200 gorgesouly suited men
thousands of sexy hot young thangs in hats and hot frocks
1 very drunken Em, feeling gorgeous, attracting a LOT of attention (that I could not touch)

Of course I backed the winner! Had to pick the Pt Lincoln horse, very sentimental place for me!
