In The Pube With The Holiday Monkey

Right, where was we...

On Friday I took the afternoon off as Jiggles came down from Cov to see My Vitriol in Camden. Much fun abounded, including taking a trip to Picadilly Circus where we re-enacted the
"Wow, what a sh*tty circus" bit from Waynes World 2 and got propositioned by a hooker. We then to several pubs, sat in very LOW sofas, took the train to Camden and went for a swift one in The Goose, and then it was time for.... My Vitriol!

They were pretty good, though I was disappointed that Carolyn Bannister wasn't playing bass. According to some randoms we met she's now
of junkie. Anyway they played loads of great songs which I enjoyed. Met Starbucks, Hobsy and Old Folks Are Losers from the 'A' board which was cool, though the sad note to the proceedings was my knee being dislocated in the mosh which hurt like funk. On the plus side we saw Taka from Feeder there, and it was definitely him even though we never saw his face because he had the same hairdo.



We headed back and stopped by at Trins for more booze, rock and weirdness. Some random guy sat next to me and was sign-languaging to me because he was mute. I couldn't understand what he wanted, and I kept moving my ear closer to his mouth, as if that would somehow grant him the gift of speech. Stupid I know, but I was pretty drunk. Then Jiggles told me that the guy was chatting to him normally in the toilets about being kicked out of another pub because they thought he was a drug dealer. What a weirdo.

J told a random girl with glasses that I liked frames, and she chatted to us for a while. She took the glasses off and she actually looked nicer, if you can believe such a thing. Anyway, I thought she was cute as a button. I woke up with her email address on the phone which I don't really remember getting; I was quite
quite drunk you see. Why didn't I just get her mobile number?????? And what do I email her????????? Suggestions would be welcome.

Saturday morning was rough... really rough. It made sense based on how much we drank the night before, but I was really able to sympathise with Renton from Trainspotting when he got the shakes. I ate about 5 bakewell tarts but that didn't help much.

G and Ga drove down to meet us, and we went for a spot of lunch in Pizza Express and then took a road trip to Gravesend for Waddy's surprise birthday bash. Accidently went to the wrong social club and stumbled in on a BNP meeting; the guy on the door looked like a character from League of Gentlemen.

The birthday bash (when we found it) was great. Ga got us on the Dogbites (Newcastle Brown ale mixed with cider) and I (when drunk on dogbite) ordered a round of Ladyboys. No, not transgender hookers; I mean that combination of lager/gin and tonic/baileys made famous in I'm Alan Partridge. The thought of all of them mixing in my stomach makes me sick even now.



Off to more bars, dancing, singing, then back to Travelodge to pass out. This morning we executed the perfect method for recovery; pub lunch, few games of Pro Evo, then pub again to watch football.

Don't feel too bad now, but I'm glad I've got tomorrow off work. Need to cut the booze out again for a couple of months.

Ghostbusters is on tv!! What a great film, Bill Murray is a comedy genius throughout.

Is that a message to me or a suggestion for what I should email that girl? If the latter, I don't think it'd be all too effective :/

Get back ok? The instructions I gave for getting onto the motorway were excellent, admit it!

Just be yourself when you email her. Say hi, mention who you are, and maybe how odd it was you didn't get her number, and perhaps you could get it from her now.

Be straight foward and upfront with who you are. Girls appreciate that, or so I have heard.

Then go out on a date and blog about it. Those are your commands. This message will self destruct in

Christ! Miss T's comment exploded in mine! Damn near had my fingers off.

Despite her hamfistedness with explosive messages, her email advice sounds VERY good. I think I'll be taking tips, too!

Good luck.

Tim - but what about iTunes??? I may get one if you can hack into it and jig around the firmware.

T - I'll make it so. Obviously I'll have to use a different email, I don't want her googling mine and finding this site!

IDV - Hamfistedness! I'm gonna have to start bringing that into my rotation of words/phrases.

the words 'ham' and 'fisted' should never be used together. Unless in the context of 'hamfisted'.

That's actually one of my favourite phrases, apart from "don't even...!".

You have to raise an eyebrow when saying both.

But basically, just be yourself! If she doesn't like it, too bad - it wasn't meant to be.
