Well, as I talked about in a drunk rant on Saturday morning I’ve knocked booze on the head for a while, no big deal just some time away, a rest for my slowly pickling body which doesn’t feel too good at the moment. Saturday wasn’t necessarily the best day to begin a period of sobriety [...]

Just a quick update on the firework extravaganza! More photos available over on FlickR. Nobody died. Check out these three pumpkin heads. Here you can see Samir and I taking cover like we were in the trenches This conveys the size of the explosions quite well I think. At this point we’d attracted the attention [...]

I’m back at work today following four days barging on the Birmingham and Worcester canal! We arrived at the marina on Friday afternoon, loaded the boat up with people and booze then set off (at 2 knots) in the direction of Stratford with only a very basic plan; keep drinking and never moor out of [...]

Went up to Cambridge at the weekend to do a spot of punting and very pleasant it was indeed. Thanks to Dans punting contacts we managed to rent “Big Bertha” which is one of the large punts normally only available with a guide which saved our group of seven from having to rent two separate [...]

We’re all off on a road-trip tomorrow morning that will be passing through Germany, not too far from Munich in fact where the Oktoberfest will be taking place. These trips are all about the driving of course so there will be no stopping off at the boozy extravaganza but I have to say that the [...]

Pretty much EVERYONE knows that driving under the influence is a bad idea and that if you get caught you’re going to get fucked. No-one will have any sympathy for you if you get arrested for driving under the influence because huge campaigns in the 80s and 90s made it socially unacceptable (outside the realms [...]

Spent the weekend hooning around the cotswolds and drinking rum – brilliant – and all in aid of the Cotswolds Cool Car Cruise. It’s not an official thing, just something the Servichays invented as a bit of a joint birthday celebration/excuse for a party :-) The final destination was The Barn and to start the [...]

Keep your Santacon, Bunnycon, Last Orders on the Tube and Waitangi-day pub-crawls this is how the Mancs do it. May I introduce The Barlow Bar-Crawl – in celebration of Deirdre Barlows 54th Birthday! Wonder how many deirdres will be waking up on Saturday morning with strained neck muscles? “On Friday 20th June at 7.30pm – [...]

After another weekend of excess during which my own mum pretty much called me a fat-bastard I decided to make a few changes, beginning with getting up early being a bit smarter for work. The plan was to arrive at my desk un-rushed and fully breakfasted – ready for the day ahead and looking forward [...]

Santacon happened at the weekend and it was bigger than last year. In fact there were three start points – the main one being Leicester Square outside the Prince Charles Theatre at Mid-Day (following a viewing of Bad Santa). Check out the pictures in the gallery! I remember lots of fake snow and sprouts being [...]
