Dreading what kind of company he'll be in at such an event, Parlabane brings his old friend Tim Vale as his photographer, so that he will at least have one ally when the buzz words, the trust exercises and the general silliness commence.The other guests turn out to be a mixed bunch, making for a rather unpleasant mood when the conversation turns to politics on the first evening, but other than that things go relatively well.
