Weekend Antics

[Mogs]

What did people get up to at the weekend?

Mr Mogs and I, with a few other EDers (not on the forum) went off to Wales stayed in a Monkey Sanctuary, which I can highly recommend.

Monky Sanctuary - Wales

Did some Tobogganing, Walking and Beach Visiting at

Pembrey Country Park

The Golf Course - but we don't like golf, lovely views while having breakfast

The Golf Course

Port Eynon - On the Gower more lovely views, and rock pool exploring

Mogs, what a lovely active weekend you had. Mine couldnt have been more different. I did a bootsale and then spent the rest of the weekend in various drinking holes. My poor liver is working overtime today and am feeling very cross with myself. Never mind, I have promised myself a break from Boozing (just wont tell self that am out next weekend) ssssh!!

I spent most of it waiting for delayed Ryanair flights. Remind me never ever ever to save myself 15 quid on a flight ever again by going with Ryanair. Arrival times there on friday and back on monday were 01:25 and 23:45 respectively!!

On the plus side I got to see Wexford v Louth and Dublin v Meath at Croke Park yesterday, which was an amazing experience. Though thanks to Ryanair I was so tired I actually nodded off at one point in the noisiest stadium I've ever encountered!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Aer Lingus are soo much better than RyanAir... and I rarely pay much extra

Saturday was spent in Blackheath to see friends new flat - then we went to a party in Tooting Bec in the evening (both excellent dos)

Sunday was more civilised - chores, pub lunch, papers and a serious Wire session in the evening (would someone please get the darn boxset and catch up so I can talk about it!)

Friday night, drunk in CPT, more drunk in Black Cherry, in to oblivion CPT! >:D<

Saturday, down to Aunt and Uncles in Camberly to have a big family meal for my nan's 90th.

Sunday BBQ with the family (nice!), back to London, couple of drinks in the CPT, got home later than planned, slept in dog house (quite rightly to be fair). :-S

Monday (td)

[Jimbo]

Hi Mogs

Is the monkey sanctuary in Wales still owned by Jim Pansy?

[Mogs]

I don't think so, the owners seem to be Jan and Graham I think.

Have you been?

[Brendan]

Turned 30. Got smashed and behaved immaturely in a vain attempt to hang on to my ever depleting youth.

[Keef]

I can relate!!! ;-)

[Bellenden Belle]

Held my barbecue - as previously discussed.

Neneh Cherry's ribs soaked in jack daniels and coke (or at least her recipe for them) went up in flames - they were probably about 90% proof - otherwise highly successful.

One vegetarian turned up - and was delighted with his veggie burgers cooked on my George Fornby Grill (we did have another bbq on standby but it seemed like overkill for just one).

Have spent all of today nibbling leftovers... sausage anyone?

[SeanMacGabhann]

don't mind if I do - now if only I could get the image of gnawing on Neneh Cherry's ribs out of my head I might be able to continue

Brendan/Keef - your 30s are soo much better than your 20's. trust me. Or failing that, have a reunion in 10 years time and we'll discuss

On Friday I went to very 'inclusive' and impressive rock n roll cabaret venue in Stokie to see my brother's punk rock n roll band, the Jim Jones Revue (Jude Law was slumming it there all night). The highlights included Elephant Man Elvis and a couple who did things like abuse staple guns/scalpels/flaming cats o' nine tails/etc.

Quiet night really.

On Saturday rode over to The Chelsea Arts Club for dinner (1st time), which is like an expensive old folks' home. Met my friend who can be seen on p14 of this weekend's Observer News(4* edition). First time I had seen him since the **** hit the fan re: his design of the Olympics logo. Ah, well, no publicity is bad publicity, surely?

Then rode back to ED (strangely don't recall any of the journey home) and dropped in to the Drum where I met some very interesting folks. Got home very drunk and very late. In the morning up to our friends in N London for lunch and more abuse. Oh dear, I am a tired wee laddie... Haven't had that much 'fun' for a while.

[*Bob*]

Had a pre-Glastonbury preparation meet.

Met-up. Got prepared, good and proper.

[SeanMacGabhann]

lol *Bob*

Is it too late to get tshirts printed with the Olympics logo redone to say EDF instead so we can spot each other at Glastonbury?

[*Bob*]

I would have thought so. But keep a look-out for our tent flag.

After much discussion, we decided on one that simply says: 'MERRY CHRISTMAS'

perfic'

[georgia]

Friday had leaving drinks with work as have started new job today (so can't spend all day on the forum anymore :()

Saturday went to see 3 live bands at The Fly on New Oxford Street which were ok but nothing great

Sunday had drinks in EDT and The Gowlett in evening

So a weekend of drinking - nothing new there then.

Roll on this weekend....

[SeanMacGabhann]

Get you georgia. . . Of course for some of us the next weekend starts today. . Oh yes

[Michael Palaeologus]

In the Cotswolds doing - nothing. Drank some red wine.

[spadetownboy]

working

[dulwichmum]

Look at you lot - you are all so cosmopolitan and free as a great flock of birds...

I have been surrounded by vomiting children and au pairs, taking great loads of duvets to the laundrette.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Could you take my Spiderman Duvet? Its a bit sticky. Ta.

[dulwichmum]

You dirty b******* - I am horrified.

That's it. James shall order the company private jet - forget about her. Ana has left Dulwich as far as you are concerned...

mock you should have went to thurles,cork and waterford put the football to shame.

[mockney piers]

Yeah, the girls were listening to it on the radio as Siobhan lives in Waterford, and it sounded very exciting. I prefer the hurling, I find the football a bit slower, though the level of skill is still pretty staggering.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Whenever I take friends back to my hometown, I try and take them to the hurling at Pairc Ui Caoimh in Cork - they are always staggered
