NEW YEARS EVE 2006/2007Well I think it’s safe to say, that this New Years Eve was the best we’ve had, certainly in my opinion!
Hilarity, farce, drunkenness and the most pointless taxi journey ever. Perfect concoction if you ask me.
The first drinks were consumed at about 2.30, during an early game of Pro Evo! Then we headed to
Prezzo for our New Year Italian meal at 4pm. Myself, Allan, Becky, Steve, Phil, Martyn, Kerrison, Colin, and his mrs, Sarah all attended! Somehow we managed to be in there for 3 hours, but it did provide one of the highlights of the whole evening.
Having decided we’d finished, Phil attempted to ask for the bill. He spotted a gentleman wearing a black shirt walking past us towards the next table, and grabbed his attention with a “hi”.
Imagine his surprise when the bemused man replied with a simple “hiya”. Bizarre response from an apparent waiter. So Phil checks “do you work here?”
“No” replies the man, as he returns to his table to enjoy his food, to the 9 of us rolling on the floor wetting ourselves as poor Phil, whilst fully appreciating the amusement, turns a lovely shade of pink!!
After that we returned to our humble abode for some more beverages/Pro Evo! Allan introduced some to the game of “lets get everyone hideously battered just because”. Or some sort of coin tossing game, I’m not quite sure.
The sum of it all meant that by the time we headed down to
Henry’s, Philip was absolutely toss-faced! So much so that he forgot what he’d been told 2 seconds beforehand- ridiculous!
We met up with Pippa & Lucie etc etc there, and gathered round the pool table, where Allan fell victim to what can only be described as a “vicious” attack! Lol.
Allan was merely trying to protect the modesty of celebrity-sister, Lucie, when she launched a malicious and violent attack, by assaulting me around the head, and smashing a pint glass into Allan’s face!
…
Of course, that’s a slightly misleading version of events…
Allan pointed at Lucie’s chest and shouted “TITTIES!”, to which he received a slap round the head! I then got slapped round the head for laughing, before Allan got hit again, this time accidentally forcing his head into Steve’s pint glass, inadvertently cutting his eyebrow! Lol.
All an accident, but highly amusing nonetheless.
Having forgotten what happened, we re-informed Philip why Al’s eye was cut, and by the end of the sentence, he’d forgotten again!!!! Lol.
Then onto
Bowling Green for some shooters, and Philip chatting up some bloke’s girlfriend (which was to become somewhat of a theme for the night!). Apparently we were supposed to have paid to get in, but we somehow managed to walk straight in without, whilst Allan simply walked in the backdoor!
After that, we all sauntered down to
Hole In The Wall, to meet up with Martyn & Kerrison. Here we saw Michelle Woodgates and Rachel Hennessey, who I’ve not seen for about 3 or 4 years or so! Which provided further entertainment when Philip, having never said a word to Rachel the entire time they were at school, spent a large period of time trying to chat her up, much to her dismay! Lol.
We decided to stay here for midnight, and duely saw in the New Year pissed as farts, hugging each other! The only way!
Later on, also saw Philip gladly wander up to some couple, barge the bloke out the way, and start dancing with his girlfriend! All while the bloke just stood at the side of the dancefloor watching!!
At this stage memories begin to fade…
Allan, Becky & Phil all wandered home sometime before 1am, whilst me, Martyn, Steve & Kerrison left together at closing time.
I, however, ended up getting home by myself. No-one knows what time, no-one knows why.
Meanwhile, Martyn, Steve & Kerrison went to
Amber Rooms for further drinks, until Martyn “popped out” for a burger, and never returned. He found his way back to our house but, finding us all either asleep or too lazy to get out of bed to answer the door, ended up having to sleep in his car!
Steve & Kerrison continued drinking until about 3.30 or so, and decided to walk home. However, they got as far as the
Odeon (5mins away from our house for those of you who don’t know), and decided to stop and WAIT for a taxi!! They then had to give directions to the taxi driver, before handing over FIVE POUNDS!!!
Having managed to get Allan out of bed to let them in, Steve managed to break a glass in the kitchen, before using a dustpan and BROOM to try and clear it up. However all he succeeded in doing was spreading the glass all over the kitchen floor!!
He followed that by having to be stopped by Kerrison, from cooking £10 worth of steak!! Kerrison regained full points for his recent drunk food-making antics in our house! Lol.
The most farcical of nights out ever… but exactly what is required for a New Years Eve.
Top night!!!
The photos are as farcical as the night its safe to say...
