Lazy Friday

[mrph]

Today has a theme, and that theme is beer. It's the annual Wwk Uni Sci-Fi Soc (and ex-SF Soc) Coventry pubcrawl. Be afraid. I'm tagging along, despite the fact that I was never a member of the SF soc (and, for that matter, never attended Wwk Uni. It's that sort of gathering). Somehow, I seem to have become the token sober responsible adult. This wasn't in the plan.

So far...

We gathered at the Old Dyers Arms at 10, for breakfast. And beer.

[Jack and a couple of friends had already been drinking since 7 - they'd found a pub that opened half an hour before the England game started. Mad, I tell you, mad...]

Followed by, er, some pub I've already forgotten the name of. Not somewhere I've been before. Started with an 'A'. More beer.

Then on to the Windmill for lunch. And beer.

Followed by Old Orleans, for cocktails (Virgin Mary, in my case. See - told you I was the token responsible adult :). And then Inspire, for a bottle of Sapporo and some coffee (I skipped the Sapporo).

Currently, they're all shooting each other in Lazerquest games. Then it'll be back to another pub. There was a small shopping trip to Forbidden Planet (and a cigar run) in there, too.

I'm rather enjoying this. Just the right mix of goth/geek/ cultural spoddery & drunken cameraderie. And since England lost the football, the fans are fading away from the pubs, too.

Right now. Where was I? Oh yes. About to go out and resume festivities. Back later

I fall over in laser arenas when I'm sober -- sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. ;o)

But falling over when drunk hurts less.

You've got to weigh up the pros with the cons though -- you're liable to fall over a lot more. ;o)
