My learned friend

Today I met my friend Philippa for lunch in the City. She's getting married next month, and as we walked back to her office we had an enjoyable bitch session about people who spend bazillions of pounds on boring wedding dresses (the Vera Wang syndrome.) This concluded with the following exchange:

P: ...I mean, why do something obvious when you can do something interesting?
Me: THIS... THIS IS HOW I KNOW WE ARE FRIENDS FOR LIFE.

And the Bohemian fuckup gave the elegantly office-dressed lawyer a bear hug, right there on the steps of the law firm in which she's a partner.
