After taking all day Friday to fully recover from the night before I then went out and killed myself all over again at the weekend.
Friday night I went out with Becky to the local O�Neills. A polish guy called Flerdurrrgghh or something like that tried to chat me up in very broken English. Apparently he�s only been in the country for 2 weeks but he did manage to tell me that he lives in West of the Ham (which is West Ham to you and me) and that I have a nice body (?!) but that was about the limit of his English. He was getting quite scary though and between him and the mental bloke who made a lunge at Bec we decided it would be a good idea to move elsewhere. So we situated ourselves in another corner where Bec got chatted up by this really cute guy and I got stuck with his mate � a Robin Cook look-a-likey. Nice! I�m not sure where I developed this knack of pulling lookalikes but if there�s a Brad Pitt or George Clooney clone out there I wouldn�t say no. (Needless to say �Robin� didn�t have any joy with me!)
Saturday was pretty much a write-off. We were extremely hungover so we went and lined our stomachs with lard-based products (eat as much as you can at Deep Pan Pizza!), had some retail therapy and collapsed back at the fishflat sometime after 4pm! I thought the sleep would make me feel better (it was only an hour after all) but instead I just got over tired and got weepy watching �Up Close & Personal� and was still awake at about 2am!
You would think after that I would have slept late on Sunday but oh no, I woke up at stoopid o�clock so decided to head down to the gym. Can you believe that I was in there at 9.30am � how dedicated am I! And I managed to do 1 hour 10 minutes on the treadmill instead of the usual 1 hour. Unfortunately I then went an undid all my hard work by going on an 8 hour drinking session for one of my mates birthdays. It was messy to say the least! Aftershocks were involved, we broke the bar by pulling the rail away from it (it was already hanging off though..honest!) and by the end of it the four of us were wearing huge Guiness hats and playing Irish songs on our mini-Guinness violins!! Dan was horribly embarrassing on the choob on the way home and held the train by sticking his face against the glass and asking when he could have the kids but then someone decided they�d had enough and told him to bugger off!! I think he was just getting his own back for the scratch that I made on his forehead!! I remember eating a Weight Watchers Sweet & Sour Chicken with Rice when I got home (not quite the usual drunken choice of toast or burgers!). Shortly after that I passed out, although I must say that I was pretty impressed when I woke up this morning to find that I had taken my make up off at some point!
Then this morning I was woken at 5.30 this morning by the phone and a shout of �Happy St Patricks Day�. After a bit of a debate with the wife about the time and whether it was St Paddy�s Day still we had a chat about the going-ons. It sounds like they�re having a blast out there and I think they�re slowly killing Erica and Sez with alcohol!! I�m glad to see though that Ali is doing pretty well with her challenges (thanks to Effel and NightDragon for their assistance on those. Me on the other hand am not doing so well (which is not good considering I set them!)
Mine are:
1. Seduce the man-child
Nope! He is too young. I can�t bring myself to do it!
2. Not shag any oompah-loompah�s or Dale Winton look-a-likes
I�ve succeeded. I think I should even get bonus points for resisting the Robin Cook look a like!
3. Get tattoo done by the time you come home
Nope! We (me and Bec) were going to go on Friday but Bec�s not totally sure about what she wants done so we left it. I have one of my friends designing me one for my lower back now anyway so I have to wait and see what its like
4. Find somewhere groovy to hold the �FishBowl Drinks�
I haven�t found anywhere yet, but we have set the weekend for the 27 April so we�re getting there
and I am in the process of looking for hotels for Effie!
5. Check out groovy new gym
Not yet�whoops!
6. Be grown up and defrost the freezer�yeah like that�s going to happen!
Well that was hardly likely to happen was it!
7. Snog an Irish bloke on St.Paddy�s Day (only to be patriotic of course!)
Well I didn�t do that but I did come home with a guiness hat, a blowy thing, and a violin!
8. Fall over in at least one London bar!
I was involved in the breaking of a London Bar�does that count?!!
Anyway, I think I have rambled and bored you all enough. I�m off to do some work!
