Yep, another one. Alan left Sun a little while back, but is now leaving Spain. He and his wife are moving back to the UK via Australia (they’ve got themselves a months vacation before having to start a new life / jobs in London). Alan, Marta, James, Ana, Espe and I met up in town on Friday evening before going on for a curry in the Taj (my boycott of the place obviously didn’t last long). We then moved onto the interestingly named Cock bar (where they charge and extortionate €5.10 for a bottle of Mahou) and then another bar in the same area. A good night had by all I think, and one of the highlights for me was reminiscing about the trip to Denver that Alan and I went on with Sun in 2004. I thought I was the only person who enjoyed it as most people whinged how boring Denver was, but it turns out Alan enjoyed it as much as me.

Alan was always very sharp witted, and someone who’s humor always appealed (at least when I understood it), but typically I feel I only got to know the guy properly just before he left (although I think that comes down to the problem that I don’t talk much until I’ve had a few beers, at which point I don’t stop).
