It can’t have been easy for el Capi over the last eight months. Injury, surgery, recuperation, slow start and most recently, a break-up! Blimey, we all hoped he’d have more sense than to date a model, but they seemed happy together and clearly he has set the bar for all future applicants.

Ladies, those hand-hearts do no come cheap, so make sure you’re under 25, in tip-trotting shape with nerves of steel to support the pillar of our team if you have any intention of nabbing the title of newest WAG.

But, one should never write off an old horse. They’ve got tricks. And in the immortal words of Seinfeld, a break-up never takes the first time. Who knows, our Capi may yet be re-united with his old flame.

So, dry your tears and join me in a bit of cocktail magic to wish Puyi and our band of merry men well for the season!

I’ve been busy in the Food and the Fabulous cocktail bar, experimenting with potions and vials, and after much testing *hic*, I’ve come up with this: Captain’s Brew.
