*ooohmpfff_grabs_aspirin

sorry, i was late!
sorry, i was late!
sorry, i was late!

if it wouldn't be for Heather, i would prob still circle around there ;) thanx!
i found the crowd in a state of a boozy and cheerful delegation ... and obviously, i had quite some catching up to do.

...and i did... i think?!

PIRATES! *rrrahrrr *rrrahrrr

holy shit you lot were fucked ... and loud too, guy and corny have a shout off with spag chiming in at 11. Maybe i was too sober but the fentimen was like a scene from fear and loathing, yuppie vultures puking and fighting. Look at this poor office manager who staggered out as we were unlocking our bikes, hugged the pub sign, barffed on her shoes, slid down it like a fireman and passed out in seconds.

maybe i was a little drunk.
Personally..... i blame Guy.... it was all his fault.

had good fun...... if a little loud....... not quite sure how i beat Corny in a shouting contest though.

kind of annoyed at the lack of spokes in my front wheel too.

was a good night, ended pretty bad for me though. currently in the royal london with multiple facial fractures. i still dont know what happened. apparently i hit a van.

Shit, Gordon, what awful news!

Hope you're getting good hospital treatment!

they've been great so far, looks like i'll be here for about a week.

get well soon fella

At least you've got internet.
Babysitting all weekend probably saved my life..

Hoonz, shit!!! Hope you're ok man.

That was fun. I was a bit wobbly leaving that pub!

Also, there was a small sum of money sitting under the table when i left. Not mine... if you lost it and can tell me the denomination, I'll return it. Otherwise Im spending it on dim sum.

£13 pounds? crosses fingers

It was a large iron-plated chest full of Spanish gold bullion. Do I win?

a wasnt even there but what the heck!

@balki small bundle of twenty pound notes with an elastic band around them.

Eeew. If it wa a ten and a twenty it could be me.

Two twenties, a ten and a five?

I like this game. Can we have multiple entries?

can't possibly be mine as i have only coins ftw.

train with it in your pockets and you too can be faster (after fracking months that is, silly!)

hoonz man, heal up quick. i feel bad as i bailed in a plan to courier you some cake pieces out. two reasons for me: as i live in chislehurst-almost kent- and have to go home at some point during the night to get redressed for work and
2nd i didn't know where to go exactly to get to the hospital (they would throw me out, wouldn't they?)

but i kept pieces of cake in me bag and would come by this monday if you could point me in the right direction please (google maps maybe)?

Well....I can't be too sure that I lost money, I was quite drunk, but I was fairly surprised that I has spent that much when I went to sainsburys the next day. But, there is also a chance that I spent that much.

Awesome evening, how my 'just popping in for 1' tunrned into the mini crawl that it did I can't remember.....definitely a sore head the next morning...good to meet some new people.
Hoonz-hope you heal up.
Will this become a regular thing??

Hoonz! So sorry to hear that dude. Twas' lovely meeting you.
And you too Balki, thanks for the Fev update :)

Royal london hospital is no more than about a mile or two from the pub we were in on friday. if that link works you can just select 'directions as an option and make that your end destination, set first point to be wherever you are coming from obviously.

i found a rear 3 LED ceteye light in my bag today that isn't mine, i have no idea where it came from, so i assume it must be from friday night... anybody's?

like this.. but red:

God, I have never seen such aftermath from one small night of drinking. Lost money, broken faces, two people in hospital AND an extra light in spag bolls sack.

and i lost my rear light and left glove... utter carnage

Well well, looks like the rear light mystery is closed.

I'm glad I got out when I did. Two pints and gone. I could feel the firestorm approaching.
