So, off for a night out with Remal tomorrow (21-Feb-14), his brother-out-law and a bunch of his mates. Hotel is booked, I've not really drank alcohol since new year, I'm being led around a city I don't know by a half blind lunatic with bionic eyes I've been warned to bring extra money 'in case' we go to a strip club...... What can go wrong?
Have a few vines on white ladies road for me mate, used to be my regular old haunt years ago. Remal was prob a toddler then.
little tip - if your in a bar somewhere where the music may be a little loud and you struggle to hear what someone has just said to you, just nod your head knowingly and say the words... ooh argh ... for added impetus you can then clear your throat and aim at the nearest spittoon
Just don't let him convince you to go to the Queen's Shilling (or whatever it is called these days) Been far too long since I had a night down town in Brizzle to know where is good/bad.
I'll be staying off the real cider as the last time I had a night on proper West Country cider my wife told me I was 'chasing purple mice' around the bedroom and then I threw up out of the bedroom window onto the patio furniture. In the morning I hosed it off and by accident it went into next doors garden under the fence where their dogs ate it. A little glimpse into my younger days.
It's going to be EPIC ANDY!!! Plan of the evening.. Meet at Hotel Start off in zero Degrees for a few beers Zerodegrees - Micro-brewery, Restaurant & Bar, London, Blackheath, Reading, Bristol, Cardiff. maybe a weatherspoons or another pub on the way Into Browns Browns Restaurants it's got to be a fillet or rib eye http://www.browns-restaurants.co.uk/media/ugc/menus/2014/01/24/CORE_MED10.pdf Then a walk up and down park street at some nice bars and such like Maybe other places What could go wrong Andy having brekky in the morning
That's the thing with scrumpy. You feel obliged to try it when you're here for the look of the thing. The thing is, if you went to Pripyat, you wouldn't be likely to say 'I think I'll give this Hodgkins Lymphoma they all talk about a try...' Cider. Just say no!
Have to confess i once tried to down a gallon of Scrumpy, i woke up as a guest of the Constabulary with absolutely no recollection of how i got there or what i'd done
Like it! Sweet Zombie Jesus, just the smell of it makes me gag. I confess to not being what you might call a drinker. The occasional Guinness, bitter, lager, peppery red, port, rum, gin, vodka, Jack Daniels, absinthe. That's about it really.
