Well I suppose it all started on Friday afternoon. Having sent Lee Kirk a message, telling him we’re still trying to get it sorted, and having a reply, I went to tell Maddsy, who then came upstairs, and decided to ring the goon! Was nice to have a random chat with him (Yeah the hormone replacement is working). Geoffrey left early, so after savagely going through Zoe’s work this week, we sort of went through one or two things, and then chilled for the last hour.
Went straight from work to the hairdressers, to be met by a scowling Claire, who was upset that I’d forgotten about her. How could I ever forget about Claire! It was my hair appointment I’d forgotten about
Eventually she seemed to have forgiven me, and I started making her laugh which is always a good thing, rather than having her give me the daggers. After claire was done with my hair, I made my way home, to quickly change, and have a little bite to eat (A very nice Lamb Hotpot Pot Noodle) and then made my way to Superbowl as Stevies replacement. Wasn’t long before the beers were flowing, along with Wiggys Strikes and Spares. This really upset Maddsy who thought he had simply had to turn up to win all the games
In the end of the first game I was that far ahead I started with some of the “Bratislava Bowling”
Launching it down with as much spin as possible. Ended up winning by 3 points in the first game. Altho my thumb was battering like hell
Gary Launching it into the Gutter again… Rach giving it her all… Maddsy trying his hardest
Maddsy getting the ramp out for the injured Hillary… Takes 3 to bowl a ball
… Gary trying to free one of the two balls stuck in the gutter
2nd Game wasn’t good from my point of view, and I think Rach and Maddsy both beat me
Altho there was still many comedy moments, including Hillary dropping the ball, and watching as it slowly rolled towards us, Rach and Hillary getting multiple balls stuck in the gutter, and Hillary pulling her hamstring whilst trying to bowl. All in all it was very comedy. Was surprised to see a few old faces out and about friday night. Including Brett Beardsmore, and the Palmer brothers, who I’d not seen for a while. Even Ken was there (Old maxxd members will remember him! Specially his famous outburst at Nationals one year, when someone scratched his car
) After we left Superbowl we nipped over to the Red for a few drinks, and then left about 10:30 once the Maddox chariot was waiting outside. Really enjoyed myself, and found myself drunkenly walking through Mansfield wanting to stay out longer
Woke up quite early on Saturday, and was feeling really tired, but had agreed to take my sister to work. Got round to her house bout 9ish, and then we set off on our merry way. I was feeling knackered, and a little hungover and longing a nice cup of coffee. On the way back I decided to hit the M1 and go straight to McArthur Glen. Wasn’t long before I realised where I was, which was lucky as my Sat-Nav decided to have a paddy around Stapleford, and tell me that I was pretty much driving on wasteland, as it wouldnt let me see any roads or anything
got to Starbucks, and has an “over-priced coffee” and phoned Maddsy to see if he was a) Alive and B) Still watching the Man Utd game. Turns out the poor lad had been throwing up all morning and was generally in a bad way
Met up with John and we were both excited bout the night out. Ended up buying a new white t-shirt, new Cardigan and some new jeans, then nipped to Whittards to get a German Cheesecake Gourmet lollie, and some Jelly Beans.
My Nice hangover cure… Maddsy looking a little rough… Kieran having 5 after running round after me
Wasn’t long before Dylan and Elliot were stood round me being little pain in the asses like normal. And then once Kieran saw me that was it!! He was pointing shouting and running around like normal
Watched Jessica doing a bit of dancing, and then we all headed off to Casa de Maddox, whilst Stevie was out and about shopping in Sutton. I took a bit of a detour via the A38, and by the time I’d got to his house, he was pretty much KO’d on the settee, along with Kieran. Which meant I was sat on the floor for the entire game
whilst Maddsy was snooring his head off (albeit for 15 minutes max) I got bored, so stuck the kettle on just as he was woken by his phone ringing and me walking through with a coffee ha ha! (He so nearly didnt get a drink!) The game wasn’t too bad, and I thought some decisions went Arsenals way, with them being the home team and all that. After Stevie had tidied the house, I made my way home for what I hoped was an afternoon nap, but it didnt turn out that way, as I turned Soccer Saturday on, and was enthrawled to see Newcastle 3-0 down after 10 minutes, and the Stags eventually winning 5-0, being about 4-0 up after 20 odd minutes
Few quick texts to check what time everyone was meeting, and then I had a long soak in the bath, and got ready to P A R T Y!!
Met up in the Top Spoons bout 7ish, and Bruton was there with Tibbzy and his GF Kerry, and it wasn’t long till Ant and a few others joined us. We stayed in the top spoons for a while waiting for Alanman and Claire to come on her scooter. Cant remember what time they met up with us, but once they did we all headed off to 53. Me, Ant and a few others tried to get Tibbzy to help blag us free entrance to the upstairs bit, but we were told we’d have to pay, which sucked. Met John and Will and Zaynah in 53, and John was wasted by that time!
I pretty much tore up the dance floor in 53, being egged on by Troy and the twins ha ha ha! And also put in some cracking poses for the camera!
Troy and Stacey enjoying their drinks… Ant texting god knows who… A few of the maxxd boys…
A rather wasted John posing with Ant… Tibbzy and a few others… Claire ripping up 53 in her Scooter
Troy, Twins and Alanman sharing a joke… a photo of Phil
… Me and Ant posing
John, Will and their mate Pete looking ermmm Menacing… John showing off his gun.. Claire giving Ant a lift to the next pub.
Once we’d left 53, we headed into Romans, and someone kindly pointed out that match of the day was on the telly, and it so happened to be the Newcastle game! Was not impressed with said person
Put £2 in the bandit, and won £15 RESULT!! Made even better by Ant putting some $$’s in and winning nothing, for Alanman to turn round and tell him I’d won £15 already HAHAHA! Once we’d had a drink in there we all headed outside, and some folks went over to Flanagans, and we all decided to head over to QI. Had a mint time in QI, and wasn’t long before a few of the army men had come over too, along with Zaynah, who quite drunkenly spilt her drink all down me
She was very apologetic afterwards tho lol, so I said I’d let her off.
Left there about 2:30ish, and offered to share a taxi with Vicky, but she said she was gonna walk home later, so I mentioned to let me know when she gets home! Ravensdale aint really place a lady wants to be walking through late at night
She rang me about 3 to say she;d got home OK and had a great night.
A Rather drunk looking Phil and Helen… Vicky and Ant… Me and a VERY drunk looking John
Me and Zaynah moments after her spillage… John and his workmate.. Smithy and the twins on the dance floor
Was not looking forward to waking up sunday morning, but even tho I got to bed bout 3:30 I was still up about 7:30ish
Got my body clock is fucked!! Sat watching some of the Johnny Bravo episodes I’d got chuckling to myself before deciding it was time to go face the Maddox children
Helped Jessica with her homework for a bit, in between laughing at Kieran, who had made the most mess ever trying to eat a pain au chocolate hahaha! Jessica and Dylan ended up coming to football with us, so Winty was in charge of the Kids Protection for the morning. And he sucked at it tbh! That much so that the kids were following Maddsy up and down the line as he was the assistant referee for the first half. Started the game at CB, and after a few kung-fu kicks during the warm up, I got my serious head on, altho it hurt a little after the night before! We went 1-0 down due to a weak tackle from Foxy, Gregg unable to prevent the cross, and the striker got there before me to spoon it into the bottom corner… WANKER!! After that we played some good football, and quickly got an equaliser through Scotty. 2nd Half and I was pushed out to Left back, to try and stop the attacks that were mainly coming from our left first half. Well in typical fashion, second half, they pushed everything up the right!! Ended the game in the left wing position
So I’m slowly making my way clock-wise through the positions! Having started the season at Right-Back
Ended up losing thanks to 2 soft goals
Got home, and messed about on the net for a bit, before Lee Westwood came round for a flying visit. Had a bit of a chat, and agreed we need a night on ghost Recon again soon or something. After that I decided to have a bath, and then chilled out on the settee watching telly, whilst nodding off. Got to about 7.30, and I decided to treat myself and ordered a chinese, ready for pick-up just before Top Gear started! What another great episode it was. Anyone who aint seen it… try and get it watched. Once that had finished, I started watching the New England Patriots @ Indianapolis Colts game, but found myself asleep half way through the 2nd quarter
