Friday 18th August - London nightlife

Friday had been planned to meet up with the roxy crew who were over here holidaying, working, drinking, partying and in the end it was a great night.... well night and into the next morning.... Plan was to meet the 3 cheeks (Rachel, Sharon, Heather) along with Mo for a night out. Well things changed, mostly due to copious amounts of alcohol we drank before 11pm. I met up with Mo and his flatmate Johnsy at Liverpool Street station and then over the road for some alcoholic beverages for the house. We got back and met Friesy who also lived there and was travelling from AUS and decided to watch the big brother finale and went through the carton of Stella in about an hour and a half. Next was finishing off a bottle of Frangelico i had bought in Rome. Well then we needed more so Mo went off to the supermarket and grabbed a bottle of Bacardi and coke. So the four of us had hit it quite hard and was too late to head out far to meet girls so we went around the corner to a wharehouse that had been transferred into a nightclub. The secret entrance around the back would save us 5 pounds each so we gave it a go. Usually the guys have no trouble sneaking in but toinght the guards were all over there scam and along with others who had tried the same thing.
Guinness Factory 002
So Mo and Friesy went for it and were caught straight away and made to pay the $5. Johnsy (local lad) and I then hid behind some cars and gave it a go. i gave him a 20m head start so if he did get caught/chased (which he did) i could slip in undetected. So he came back to us after paying his cover charge but also followed by the security guard asking them about the other bloke that came in with them (ME) who was looking the guard in the eye. Mo and Johnsy did well in telling him some stories and then he asked for our stamps. Well I had done the old wet the wrist and try to copy Mo's stamp. Well I had a speck of black on wrist which in no way could resemble what i needed. I then showed him my wrist and said I had one. he barely looked and said ok then checked the others. As soon as i heard that I was outta there and headed towards the bar to buy a round. Lucky.....

Had a great night out with the boys and then after about 3am it closed so off home and then out again somewhere else for a pint until they also closed. What to do next. The bledisloe game was due to kick off at 630am so the natural thing to do was to go to Walkabout pub and watch the game with another pint. So back home before that and Mo and Friesy put on there wallaby jumpers and handed me a spare. The 3 of us then hit the tube and off to the game. Well great first half with us in the lead.... ( I then called Gabbi back home who I was missing so much) and came back in to see we were losing the game. So I saw the best half we have had and then missed the misery.... Oh well..... back on the tube and then back to my sisters school. 11am arrival.... bed time.....
