A big long post

[hils]

Right, rancour will be here to pick me up in about half an hour. Let's see if I can type up last nights events and get dressed before he gets here. LOL

So, we left work at 12pm yesterday for our 'team-building exercise' (piss-up). Work kindly provided us with a minibus which took us to Henry J. Beans for our meal. I was taking it slow with the drinking because I knew I was going to be out all night so I started off with a diet coke. We ordered our food and then found out that work was paying for it all. WHEE! I had duck pancakes for starter, steak and cheese sandwich with fries for my main course and a belgian waffle for pudding. I was SO full after that but I managed to make room for a pint of murphy's (they didn't have Guiness. Boo!)

After that we went to another pub and I had another diet coke but I was too full to drink most of it. Greg and I had a go on the movie quiz machine. We won £2 but then lost :(

Then we decided to hook up with a load of people from work who were also out on a team building. One of the guys there was leaving and he used to work in my office. We spent most of the afternoon in the pub and it was here that things got interesting. This one guy was REALLY drunk when we arrived at 3pm so you can imagine the state he was in by 6pm when we left. He started feeling up at the boys, sitting on their knees and pretending to try and kiss them. It was supposed to be a joke as I don't think he's gay but he just wouldn't stop. By the end of it pretty much all the men there were getting ready to hit him. He also told one girl he thought she was the most beautiful woman he'd met and then turned to this other girl and said 'but you're just an ugly slag' so that made most of the girls want to hit him too. He was also supplying this other girl with vast quantities of wine, I suspect so he could get her drunk enough to sleep with him. I don't think he realises she's a lesbian. LOL.

Anyway, Paul from my office insisted we leave before he hit that guy so a small group of us went to another pub. I should point out that despite the fact I'd had numerous drinks I was still pretty much sober at this point. So, we went to another pub and I finally got my Guiness. WHEE! Sammy-boy met us there and we sat around for a bit before going for a meal in a nearby Chinese. The food wasn't great but we picked it because it has a cheesy disco. Boy was it cheesy. Sammy-boy and I had a dance for a bit but my feet were hurting so I had to sit down a lot :( What WAS amusing was watching a bunch of men strutting their stuff and grinding up against each other. Hee! It was possibly one of the most surreal thing I've ever seen. I don't even think they were gay, just drunk. LOL

Anyway, Sammy-boy and I left at about 1am which means I'd been out for 13 hours and I STILL wasn't drunk. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Now I'm going to see V For Vendetta with rancour and this evening I'm going to visit robhu to do...something. Probably play Oblivion. LOL
