Thingummy Bob's

By Nick Huggins

Players: 10

Genre: Romantic comedy

It is 3am on the 27th of December – The day after St. Stephen’s Day, or Boxing Day, or call it what you will. In the fashionable West End of London, down a small side street is a small wine bar. It’s run a gentleman called Robert Ballmer – Bob to his friends. It struck him in a moment of whimsy when he was opening his wine bar that he should call it “Thingummy Bob’s.” He did, and ten years after it opened, it’s still open.

Bob has a small, tight group of friends. It’s the sort of group of friends a lot of us have, where not all of them get to see each other all the time. Not all of them get to see each other very often at all, in fact. So a few years back, someone had the idea that it would be nice to meet up each year. To sort of sum up the year, as it were, and meet old friends. And talk. And drink. After some jiggling about and arguing, it was decided that St. Stephen’s day would be a nice idea. After closing time, so that Bob could be there too. He’s usually a bit wiped after the working day, but he’s promised each year that it’s all fine with him and that there’s nowhere he’d rather be.

So you’re here – With friends. To sum up the year, and talk, and laugh, and drink.
