Ahhh Leeds the centre of the universe for calendar news. Here's the clockwatch
15:05 :-After picking up mini-Dave the convoy set off for Leeds. Directions provided by the internet but it's pretty straight forward to get to Leeds or so you would think!
15:45 (Approx) :- The incompetence of the driver was all to apparent when I simple instruction such as "Take the exit at j29 then follow M621 to Leeds city centre" was some how interpreted as "Take j29 exit then go straight on back on to the M62 and carry on towards Manchester". This early gaff was made even worse for Turkey as he started laughing as the chase car took the CORRECT exit and he shouted "Where are those Idiots going" oh dear.
15:50 :- After the little detour we found the hotel without any problems and even got there before the two in the car that went the right way! (Maybe they were idiots after all Turks) Checked in with minimal fuss and retired to are rooms for a well earned rest.
18:00 :- Hotel bar up first and AS USUAL I got the first round in. A slight moment of confusedness came when a taxi or walking approach was to be decided. Even though I wanted another pint shanks's pony it was!
19:15 :- First real bar of the evening and in true Scunny style it was a weatherspoons. There was a clamor to the bar as the cheapskates all tried to get there round in. Surprise, surprise we stayed for another pint here as it was cheap and it was Ratty McTaggarts round.
20:50 :- The slug and lettuce. Nice bar not too expensive, the only problem with this place strangely was that you had to up some stairs then down some stairs then up some stairs again to go to the loo. Not a big problem I grant you but It got us all railed up for some reason.
21:45 :- Browns. Non smoking bar (so it's defo out of the crawl if we ever go again)
22:25 :Food. We stayed away from the usual drinking snacks and went to a Subway???? Half a BLT and we were on are merry way again.
22:50 :NU. Don't know what that stands for and can't remember it so.....
23:35 :-TigerTiger. Jack got us all I.D'd and mini-Dave has picked up his older brothers frugal sense (Tightness)and decided it was to expensive so we didn't even stay for a drink!!!
23:45 :- Yates. Can't really remember this place but I did play one of the worlds greatest pool shots to pot the black and win the game. Even the bouncer said it was a class shot so we moved on! (Think I was Sick here)
00:30 :- Oceana. Was suprisingly good. There was a moment of controversy when Phil and I were separated from the main party (This was because Phil got confused with a mirror?!?!?!?!) this resulting in a split round and one hell of an argument between me and Jack. Guess who was right. In the end, as it all ways does, a deal was brokered at the situation diffused (Jack was the bigger man and bought every one a drink. Turkey still hasn't got his second round in yet and the phrase "It's us three in around now" was used more than once but anyway that's enough of that....For now)
03:00 ;-Dancefloor. Throwing some mad shapes and falling over a bit was the perfect way to conclude the drinking.
03:45 :-Food. I got some chips and fucked off. The others went wandering round leeds looking for a Chinky and could only find a piss soaked afro wig which Turkey put on his head and danced around!
That was just about that. All in all a top night out. Would of been better with all the boozers there of course.
P.S
Once back in Scunny we went to the Queensway for a bite to eat. I could only manage a coke and Jack had to ask behind the bar for some aspirin!!!!!
Maybe we are getting to old for this!
Tally Ho & God bless the Booze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God if Jacks even asking for asprin it dosent bode well for the rest of us
Praise be the booze
oh yah and you should get a job writing reviews ric
yah yah yah bloody hell burls you getting all posh with us?
Why thank you kind Burls. But my reviewing skills are limited. I am merely a conduit for the booze to flow through and the words just spill out like 7 pints of lager after a subway BLT. We should really get a game of poker organised so we can swop 'war stories'. I nominate Jack to host the event. We'll make it the 'It used to be about the booze xmas bash', now we just need a date when maximum people are avail's.
Friday the 1st or Saturday the 8th are good for me! Get it sorted.
Your Faroe has spoken!!!!!!!!!!!!
