John Bon Jovi is rarely right about anything but he got it spot on when he wrote the lyrics to his immortal classic "Young Guns". Forget the fact he was singing about a lost band of cowboys - he actually had Young Gun 2007 winners Samuel Johnson and Sally Adams in mind.
"I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last nights bed"
The bed might not have been earth on the good ship Arcadia during this year's Catering and Hospitality Forum, but John gets pretty close to summing up the hangovers of recently graduated students, and boy did he ever get it right when he sang..
"I dont know where Im going
Only God knows where Ive been"....
Especially when bottles of Bollinger have been forced down your neck until 5.30am and the key card for your cabin doesn't work when you attempt to get two hours of sleep.
All together now...
"Im going down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
Im going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
Im no ones son
Call me young gun!!!!!"
Well done to both winners. Throughly deserved and I wish them all the best for the future.

Erm, Sleep when I'm Dead perhaps, also?
