I can't go cos I'm going drinking that night I swear I have a drink problem. It's not that I drink much, or often - it's just every time there's an event on it's the same old story :

"Wanna go to this super-duper once in a life time event, Blitz?"
"I can't. I promised someGuy I'd meet him in somePub for someThing."
