Just got back in from a very full on few days.
Friday, I set out for Simon's stag do.Arrived in Nottingham, and met up with the other 10 supporters and the stag himself. Had a wander round Nottingham, and made a lot of noise in a few pubs before eating and visiting a club.
Saturday - wow ! First thing in the morning (after a full English) we went clay pigeon shooting. (or ash tray shooting). What a fantastic way to cure a hangover a bit of fresh air and 12 bore shot gun kick is. Didn't do to badly - got 16 out of 25 and came Joint second overall after Lee. The next thing on the list for the Simon Dozen was karting. We went to a track called amen corner just north of Nottingham. I had never driven a proper kart before, and the thing that really surprised me was the physical demands these things put on you. Amazing things - only 1 inch from the ground, bezzing round at 50 mph. The respect I have for F1 car drivers is even higher now, because we did a 43 minute race changing drivers every 10 laps or so (2 man teams) but F1's are at it for 2 hours. They loose a stone each race apparently. Anyway - back to the karting. Fionn and myself formed "team wreck-ed". We won. By loads, and I got the fastest lap of the day (35.93 seconds). Here's my trumpet, and this is me blowing it. I've just seen the photo's of the day - there are some fantastic shots in there from the day, as well as the night. The night - we all met in the bar at around 6:30pm to be presented with cardboard masks with a photo of the stag pulling a silly face. so 11 of us we now called Simon and the real Simon of course. Off we trotted to jongleurs club to watch some top class comedy. I have not laughed so loud or as much in a long time. After the comedy, the place was transformed into a club. Slightly tack music, but by that time, I didn't care. Back to the Hotel after that, and hit the bar. 05:00 this morning I decided to go for a power nap, before the drive home. There will be some photo's up here soon!
 Stumble It!
