    hey guys!

    i just finished for today so i can finally check how's everybody been... looks like a lot of you had a rough night yesterday ;) hope you'll recover soon as i guess we should do this kind of gathering a bit more often ('couse i didn't get to speak to all of you - sorry)

    it was great to put some faces behind the nicknames and to catch up with those with whom i went together to the gigs

    hope to meet you again soon :)

    Yep, it needs to happen again soon :)

    Was great meeting you and Mark! I'm surprised at how drinks that little body of yours can take without getting drunk (or was it all an illusion??):D Now that you guys have met us, you have two options: 1) next meet-up (Byrnzie's leaving drinks?) you'll be more comfortable with us thinking that we are sort of normal or....... 2) you decided we are too scary of a bunch (and I would understand after meeting Rob :D) and you will just ignore us from this day forward!! :D:D

    Hope your head is OK today... :D

    Hehe it twas no illusion I assure you, must have been all those porridge oats I ate for breakfast absorbing all that alcohol. Although I wasn't walking straight when I got outside so it was kicking in by then. Anyway I think we will defintaly come to the next meet up, you guys can't scare us off that easily hehe.
    The extra S in my name is redundant and I'm proud of it. Jazz handing my way back to heaven.

    my head hurts...
    left the Hospital (if that is what it's called, didn't know where I was..luckily very close to the Bunker cos I wasn't paying attention when we got there) at 2am..managed to not kill myself on the way home.

    Was still drunk when I got up so not exactly hangovered..

    Nice night..from what I remember.. talked to quite a few people old and new, all very nice and friendly (hope they think the same of me...maybe better not ask).. but AGAIN missed out having a conversation with Dunk.

    I'm totally in for Byrnzie's farewell do...but maybe a schoolnight should be better avoided...

    Naz and I were gutted we didn't return the favour of buying you a drink. Next time.

    Although it sounds like you had quite enough anyway ;)

    Same here... had my comedown around 3pm.

    Did you say you were NOT going to Madrid?? I think I asked on my way out, but no recollection as the exit was my haziest moment.

    Did you all end up at Hospital?

    you didnt have that many beers jrd, i was well drunk when i left 'the hospital' Byrnzie was completly smashed!

    Hello all! I have no memory of the evening after we left the Bunker. It's all a total blank. I woke up the next day to realise that i'd bought a box of crunchy nut cornflakes and a jar of Pesto!! :eek: Makes no sense!

    I'll definitely try and make Steve's leaving do, providing he gives me enough notice to get the time off work. :rolleyes: :D
    I notice that I have a few new people to introduce myself properly to, you included :D

    My leaving do will most likely be the 17th March when some of you will be in Dublin. :(It's just that that's the day after my next payday and the Saturday before i'll be going.

    I stayed round Keiths place. I really have no memory of being in Keiths club. I hope I was well behaved?
    Oh, and i left with Dunkmans book and t-shirt which he'd given me £10 for. I'll have to post them to him now. :rolleyes:

    Another meetup would be great, i didnt meet alot of the people there!!
    Pegasus, there is only 1 sky europe flight the day after the poland show, so i know we are on the same flight.
    Next meetup i will eat before hand, that is what killed me, drinking on an empty stomach!

    He was equally fucked I think. Towards the end I could barely understand what he was saying.

    i'm surprised you could understand me right at the start!!!

    well we had a brilliant time folks... Like Byrnzie before me i cant actually remember much about anything after the Bunker Bar :o as in i remember snippets, but i cant remember going home or anything :)

    we got up next day at 7.15am!!!!!!!!!!!!! we were both still drunk, i made myself sick, then we got to the train station where i happened upon a luxurious looking Russell Brand :eek:

    being somewhat still pissed i just went up and spoke to him... and Jill fancies him but she was too hungover to actually get off her arse to see him.. so i just went up and had a nice chat... made fun of Joss Stone, i said he was taller than a giraffe on stilts and generally apologised for being still drunk and reeking of Vermouth! but he was so friendly.. i was a fan anyway, but i appreciate how he actually asked me why i was in london, where was I last night, etc etc

    well i must have made an tiny impression as he was on some TV show later that night talking about the drunk scottish guy he met at the station this morning :cool:

    Eventually got home, i sobered up quite quickly and Jill puked 3 times on the way home :):) makes a change as its usually me who does that!! we got home SAFELY, but weirdly and ominously enough, just outside Kendal somewhere our train took a nasty jolt and Jill said " I wonder what it would take to derail a train"

    this has freaked us both out..... as obviously later that evening the news was displaying the train crash and that would have been our other train option but we felt Jills mum had had the kids 2 nights already and maybe it was best we got home earlier!!!

    so thankfully home ok, but i thought it was magnificent to see everyone at the Bunker/Hospital!!!

    Rita and VV were stars as usual... these girls can hold their booze :eek: although i was shocked to see VV drinking tea when i went in!!!

    Mark seemed to be able to hold his booze... i think he enjoyed my kiss on the cheek though... well who wouldnt :rolleyes: and as for your missus Mark... nice one!!! ;):o

    Pip was awesome as the more drunk i got then it became apparent only she and Jill could understand me... i veered into Scots lowland dialect... think Oor Wullie after a stroke :)

    Keithos and Byrnzie... legends!!! Keith, many many thanks for taking us to your club.. and how weird was it when we met that guy from literally 8 miles from our home!!! uncanny!! and Byrnzie... picked up my t-shirt and book as a good fellow does and also texted me to tell me about the cereal and pesto... i love shit like that :D

    Rob.. twas a pleasure at last to meet thee!! language barriers aside i think we got on pretty well :)

    jrd, vedder_soup (never met a guy who smiled more than you dude.. vibrating lips?) Peg (we never really spoke!!!! again!!!!) Barbs (always a pleasure!) and so on and so forth!!! brilliant!!

    in fact everyone got on well.. .... you're all great folks and it makes me look forward to June even more!!
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
