Double trouble

Talking of slight errors when multi-tasking over a glass of vino, I was reminded of a mishap of my own while on another fancy-schmancy vendor trip.

After a few snifters I made an arrangement to meet the head of a top UK reseller the next day to discuss mutual collaborative greenfield business opportunities going forward. A short while later, and with a good few glasses more inside me, I saw what looked like the same bloke and reminded him of our lunch date the next day.

Unfortunately, when I turned up I realised that I'd invited along two of the biggest rivals (and lookalikes) on the trip to the same meeting. Whoops. At least I'd doubled the chances of someone who's not me picking up the tab.
