blurry weekends
Don't you just love those week ends were you plan to do all those things you put off during the week. You have a big long list of items that need to be completed; your even thinking about putting up that curtain rail you have put off for days. So ... -
flickr it is then
we all sat in the pub last night to celebrate Sarah's birthday (hope you had a good one in the end!) and the subject of 'whatcha doing tomorrow came up'. Lucy was simple; working so that left me with two options. 1. dust off my bike and head out on ...
I’m Not As Thunk As You Drink I Am!!
Yesterday i returned from my annual boating trip on the Norfolk Broads. It comprises of a three day boat hire with 9 mates to sail, relax, bond and indulge on the occasional glass of sherry, this year aboard the Superior Gem 4!
Ok so we managed a fairly good effort of over 350 beers in 60 hours and that was just on the boat, many more were consumed out in pubs, clubs and towns, plus we had to sleep in that time period as well!! Either way, we faired up a bit better than this family who must have a sinking feeling!
As we sat at Great Yarmouth Yatching Station on sunday afternoon, i noticed a bit of a frackard going on in the harbour masters office. As he walked out, i enquired as to what was going on. He informed me that a hire boat had struck a channel marker pole between Breydon Water and the entrance to Great Yarmouth Harbour. Armed with a freshly lit cigarette and a healthly full can of Foster’s, myself and two others went to investigate. We stood and watched the boat take in water while the Great Yarmouth Fire Service desperately tried to pump it out. Within 10 minutes, the fight was over and the boat was lost, leaning on one side and presumed hitting the bottom. At this point my beer ran out, so it was back to the boat for a top-up and a quick grab of the camera. A good bit of entertainment for a sunday afternoon!!
… part 2
This night was more orientated around the office staff of Grabor Plastics and so part 2 was for the shop floor workers, you know the real people behind any company.
Some how I got invited to that as well. Once again an ugly night was soon to follow and the damage was done.
It was good to meet up again, despite spending most of the night talking to Kay; yar-great, about the duality of man and the influence of religion and politics and the outcome within the human fabric of this world. That and how warm Guiness gets if you leave it too long, what ever it was congratulations of your first!
Just a quick thanks to Trevor and Marlene for your welcome and crazy colour drinks.
It was a different night…
I had a phone call from bobgbob the other day to say that Grabor Plastics, who were my old employer who had recently been sold and taken over by another firm, were having a get together at a new drinking hole in Sudbury as a fare well. He asked if would like to show my face as an old employee and see people off to pastures new, I said hell no, but I’ll come just to take the pi55 if he wanted 
It started off with the best laid plans, a few cold ones in the sun sat next to the river Stour, that was until Joe the one man army turns up, only joking Joe I think every pub should come fitted with indoor plumbing and a Joe!
After a few drinks we all headed off and if any of the previous employees from Grabor Plastics find themselves here I only have to say I wish you all the best!
