Long Weekend

Cor blimey Guv! That was a pretty long weekend! Went back to my old town, Brighton, on Wednesday and spent the day with my mates. Which was really nice! I met my friends new man, he’s about as funny as a person could handle without getting into too much pain!

Came back on Thursday and chilling a bit, then went to the pub on frida with home mates, just a couple of them. The others were out at another pub in my town, but we cant have both halves of my mates together as there is some suppposed friction between them stemming from an event about 4 years ago. We always think; ‘well I’m not inviting both of them to the same place!’, but then again it was a few years ago, and one of the two is still together with his girlfriend… so no long term damage done! They are both adults so get on with it! But its coming up to xmas eve… and that means that there is a mass session involving everyone at the same pub so we will see what goes down. I don’t think they have come to fists before, but it was bloody close on the fitfull night. A night were I had to sleep with my feet against the door in one room with one of them, in fear of a fight between two ex-friends! It’s odd, but I understand where they are coming from, but then again they went together to Reading festival (I think) and had a whale of a time one of the summers previous. Four years under the bridge I hope it will all be put to rest.

Saturday, and I had as much fun is possible with processed meat(s)!!! I wouldn’t think anything against you if you thought that there is little that you can do with a packet of Baktat, but wow, the revelry last night was quite incredible. Meeting up with old friends that I generally only see every year at an xmas do was a great laugh. And seeing a couple of my mates from uni really put the icing on the cake! A heck of a lot of alcohol was brought to the do and a heck of a lot of it was consumed, but starting at 5 in the evening really made me pace myself (great plan!) and it actually worked, I could have stayed up for a few more hours if everyone didn’t go to sleep at 3 in the morning!! I think everyone one was all Baktated out and had to get some serious sleep, cos the next day the plan was to be at the up to get to the pub by 1.30 for the two football matches that were on. Spurs vs. Boro and Arsenal vs. Chelsea. Spurs game was a bit dissapointing, as we were behind most of the game and drew in the end, but the Arsenal game was something to see, the first fifteen minutes were so good and really had me gripped to the match! But they lost, which is a good thing really. And as you could imagine… 2 x (match + pub) = beers². And few more got drunk, so I think it’s a detox until xmas eve!
