Well the girls left on saturday morning really early. Was sad to see them go! Had a nice meal at De Big Fish to see them off.
After that tho, when they were away off to finish packing and get some sleep, the rest of us, and the liverpool lot when on the biggest piss-up i can ever remember. We went round to their flat, which is at wavecrest as well, for a bit coz people go out really late here. So we started playing shit-head with a few drinks, which quickly decended into drinking games like fuzzy-duck and a simple high card draw! THe prize for losing? A shot of rum, eugh! So about 6 shots each later the bottle was finished and it was time to go. Im sure the rules were being fixed. We got to the Owl at about 11pm which seemed like a studenty sort of place, lots of americans
01 - little lizard thing climbing up the wall
. Lol, happy hour there is from 11pm-midnight! So i ordered a pint, which the barman didnt really seem to understand and he gave me a jug instead!! So muchos lager-downing later I got to play some pool with this guy who said his family is the drugs mafia of grenada! Also met some turtle looker-afterers who apparently get paid to come here for 6 months, just to look after bloody turtles! Bastards! Things kinda got a wee bit hazy from there-on as more and more alcohol entered my blood.The next day we managed to piece most of the night together. So from the owl we got a lift with these two cocknies, one of which had a thing for karren, who then decided that i was her husband. Fair enough i thought. After a terrifying car journey (my wife clinging to my arms for dear life) we arrived at bananas. I was held back a bit coz apparently shorts are a security risk, so i nearly didnt get in, but played the innocent tourist and got in. The cockney landed me with a smirnoff ice straight away, I didnt put up much resistance for free drinks. Apparently I was offering to buy people loads of drinks but then just ended up drinking them for myself, but always had about 2 or 3 drinks in my hands. Im also reliably told that i was asked to strip by the girls and i ended up lying on them with my shirt undone, as well as my shorts with their hands all over me :s sounds pretty good to me, if i could remember any of it! Me and another guy then for some reason showered the girls in white wine. I have no idea how we didnt get chucked out and I have no idea how i got home. So we got back to the liverpool lots flat at about 5am i think, completely mortalled! We ended up having two wierd americans in the flat as well coz haley stole their hat? :S beats me, but all i remember is this old american guy kept comeing to the door asking where the airport was! I was probably hallucinating or something
02 - as u requested mum, one of me
. I have a vague memory of going round to the girls flat coz they were getting ready to catch their flight, so i apologise for what must have looked like a wobbling psycho hanging about trying to look through the windows! I then drove home at about 8 in the morning! This was probably the most stupid thing ive ever done in my life, but i got home fine. There arnt any drink driving laws here, and thank god it was quiet at that time of day. It certainly makes me never want to drink and drive again. I could see okay, but I had absolutely NO judgement of speed or distance at all. But it was probably a good thing i got home one way or another coz the resulting hangover meant i was in bed until about 6pm.So last night we went for a very gingerly eaten meal at the boulangerie where we pieced together the nights chaos! The worrying thing is tho, if all that (and lots more that ive since forgotten again) happened that we could remember, what happened that we didnt remember?! One thing is for sure, i will be going jaundiced in a few days!

Sunburned or jaundiced?
When I first looked at the pix, I thought 'Wow! look at the sunburn'. Then I read your text, and realised it probably IS jaundice...
Wonderful to know I have a complete piss-head for a son. Your blog confirms what I've felt for some time, but never been able to have officially confirmed...
Are you sure that lizard thing was REALLY climbing the wall, or was it YOU climbing the walls and visualising demons as part of an alcohol-withdrawal delerium?
Anyway, glad to know that all is going pretty much as expected!
Despairing Dad.
night out
i think you conveniently forgot about trying to eat an nspcc wristband, commenting that i could 'have it back in a couple of days' after it had passed through u! err...nice. also running around wavecrest demandin cheese (!?) at 5 in the mornin? of course everyone else behaviour was practically perfect in every way...or atleast thats the story. *cough.
