Miffy's Mischievous Adventures
Hi there,
This is my first attempt at writing anything like this so apologises if it is rubbish! I'm sure I'll get better with all the practice I will get while I'm away!
I've decided to write about the start of my journey which began with leaving work and having a leaving do to celebrate this occasion. A couple of ideas were suggested but the unanimous decision was to have a round of pub golf (great idea Macangus)! With the invites sent to the boys, the course designed and the date apron us, it was time to celebrate leaving the rat race.
Thirteen golfers were assembled at 17:30 for the tee off and we were meeting the rest of my work colleagues at 20:30 in Harvey's. Here is a brief description of our pub golf journey.....
Hole one - Original Bar:
A few of the boy's hadn't played pub golf before and you could see a couple of apprehensive faces. Thirteen prints of Cool's were ordered and it was a left handed dog leg, par three hole. After a quick photo I started the festivities. Within three minutes all thirteen pints had been drunk and it was on to the next hole! Batty did dribble a bit down his white top and everyone drank with there right hands so no penalty shot was sanctioned.
Hole two - Harvester:
Thirteen vodka lemonades were requested with the bar man looking very strange at me considering it was only 17.45. With the train leaving the station at 18.00 we all demolished are drinks with the hole being a par two.
Hole three - The Last Orders:
Rhys joined the golfing party and had two drinks to catch up! Hole three was going to be a challenge for a couple of the lads. It was a right handed par four and the drink was Guinness (chosen by Oc and myself I'd like to add). We had a couple of Guinness virgins within the party and they were worrying how they were going to deal with the Irish export. Oc and I had strong drives and basically sank it in one. The boy's were showing good form but we had a strangler. Rhys was in the hurt locker! He completed the Guinness in five so had to have a penalty shot - he choose a shot of Orange Snapps.
Hole four - Varsity:
Tax dodges heaven! The Varity is a student gaff so when fourteen Tia Maria and Cokes were order the bar man did even flinch. This little concoction was thrown into the arena by the youngest member of the party and he had been taking some flack for this strange choice. I didn't hear anyone question this drink once every one had necked it in one and in harmonious voice said 'that tastes just like Terry's Chotolate Orange'. Good choice young Matt.... On to the Brass Cat for a naughty drink - Snake Bit 'n' Black.
Hole five - The Brass Cat:
I was not looking forward to the Brass Cat as the tipple was Snake Bit 'n' Black! Who on Gods earth decided to mix cider with lager? Then squirt some black currant into it - madness, shear madness. Fourteen of the ridiculous concoctions were ordered and consumed in no time at all. This was a par five water hole. However, the majority of golfer finished this one in one as no one wanted to taste it. Since the event there have been allegations of cheating going on. Alexis had now joined the group and apparently Rhys was now passing her his drinks to finish off! I personally wouldn't like to comment on these rumours as Rhys is bigger than me but I would just like to say - 'you as only cheating yourself'. It's a short journey to BL1 where it's £1.70 for a pint of Carlesberg before seven, tremendous.
Hole six - BL1:
It was time for Cheeky Vimto's and all the boy's (and Alexis) were in good spirits. Everyone had hit par at least, apart from Rhys and the Guinness incident. I still laugh when I think of him trying to drink the beautiful black stuff. It was painful but hilarious. With the alcohol starting to take affect there was a bit of a mix up at the bar. Some how there was twenty Cheeky Vimto's ordered, instead of fourteen. Chris the kitty holder was not happy to say the least. We also had some new spectators, the bpm boys turning up to say hello.
Hole seven - Deli Bar:
A pint of Bud was the drink for the Dehi and it was a par four hole. With only an hour to go and two more bars before meeting the rest of the people in Harvey's, it was time heard the 20+ party and move them on to Yates for JD and Cokes. With the boys well into the game by now, it was seconds before all fourteen pints were drunk and the compulsory picture was taken.
Hole eight - Yates
JD and Coke seemed to be a popular drink with the participants and it wasn't long before they were drunk and we were moving to the next bar to finish off our 9 hole pub golf adventure.
Hole nine - Barracuda's:
It was pints of Carling to finish off the course and everybody was in the party mood (pretty inebriated as well). "To Harvey's" to meet everybody else!
It was great to see lots of familiar faces. To cut a long story short, in the next bar at approximately 22:00, I was head butted, kicked out and nearly arrested because I would calm down. Now all chilled out and wanting to carry on drinking, no one would let me in because of the blood and cut above my eye. My night was now over - I was gutted as it had been a quality laugh up to then and looking forward to dancing till dawn.
"To A&E" to be glued and stitched! I understand that everybody else had a good evening from what I heard.
At least every time I look in the mirror now, I will remember my three and a half years in the North West!
Next, two more leaving do's in Norwich before flying out to Thailand on 1st May..... Yippee
Bye for now
