Watching the sun set from the top of the Gherkin, sipping a 2009 Sancerre, it was difficult to imagine how 鈥渧enue two鈥� could top this.

Determined to do the evening in style, Kinetics boss Chris Cheshire announced that he had planned a three-venue 鈥渙dyssey鈥� for the evening. Some 14 hours into the rescue of the 33 Chilean miners, you had to wonder who would be finished first.

鈥橧 hope Morgan Sindall buying Connaught isn鈥檛 like when an American is sold a sentry box at Buckingham Palace鈥�

Cheshire is the genial chief executive of the 拢130m-turnover social housing maintenance firm. At his side is jazz-loving finance director Neil Williams who doesn鈥檛 always manage to keep the boss in check.

Take the company鈥檚 corporate box at West Ham, a deal that Williams said Cheshire had slipped through while he was away on holiday: 鈥淲hen I got back you said the possibility of buying it had come up - but I knew you鈥檇 already bought the bloody thing.鈥�

鈥淲e got a good deal,鈥� protests Cheshire. 鈥淲e haggled and got all the booze and food thrown in. Actually I think the girl who signed that off was new and got into trouble.鈥�

Aside from football, the other subject that quickly surfaces is collapsed social housing firm Connaught.

Kinetics looked at buying it out of administration and all raise their eyebrows when the 拢28m price tag paid by Morgan Sindall is mentioned. Cheshire says: 鈥淚t鈥檚 a big risk. I hope it isn鈥檛 like one of those deals when an American is sold a sentry box at Buckingham Palace.鈥�

Before long we are in a taxi heading through Shoreditch, Williams recounting an unprintable event from a recent company away day. Where we are headed remains a mystery.

Until the signs for Upton Park appear. Venue two is the Boleyn pub, a spiritual match-day haunt for West Ham fans. It鈥檚 virtually empty apart from a Scot who has a picture of a cat on his phone, and who he tells us is a Millwall fan. The cat, not him.

It鈥檚 eighties night and Glen Medeiros鈥� hit Nothing鈥檚 Gonna Change my Love for You comes on. Stone shakes his head and says: 鈥淚 once told my brother he could name any eighties song and I鈥檇 tell him who sang it. This was the only one I couldn鈥檛 remember.鈥�

It might be the music but Cheshire brings up his girlfriend - Claire Dunphy, the daughter of Frank Dunphy, who is Damien Hirst鈥檚 manager. (His other celebrity story is too long to repeat and involves him telling Ian Dury to 鈥渇uck off鈥� while pulling down a graffiti covered wall in east London).

As we depart for the third leg in our pan-London booze-up, the Chinese restaurant, the talk is still of football as all three express their firm agreement that West Ham should move to the Olympic stadium. There is only one caveat, says Stone: 鈥淭hey鈥檒l have to move this pub there too.鈥�

Take note, ODA.
