On the way to N’s house for a crab curry, body aching after a night of being a photographer for the Iraj concert the night before (more on that later) I stopped over to get a bottle of gin. Feeling a bit thirsty I grabbed a coke since there appeared to be nothing else in close reach. Sipping it on the drive I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was wrong…there was something missing in the coke bottle’s favour…as I got onto the 5 it hit me…

There was no rum…
