Birmingham # 3 (Wolves - August 2009)
 
  • Meeting time at Brigham's agreed at 1.30 pm....1.45pm were Jim etc there - errr no and it wasn't even Gareth's fault? 
  • Traffics jams - arghhhhh.
  • Traffics jams whilst listening to Steve Wright on Radio 2 playing endless old poo - arrrrrrggghhhhhhhhhh
  • Traffic jams whilst listening to Stairway to Heaven by Rolf "bloody" Harris (anyone seen Miss Given???) - arrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
  • Oh, and Chas & Dave  ( Mark,( Oh darlin' there aint no pleasing you '  ))
  • .....and 'Ask Elvis'
  • Finally arriving in Brum v late to be greeted by one of the smallest car parks in the world ( what were those blokes like, trying to park the worlds biggests vans in said carpark?? ) ...strange though, despite speeding off on Motorway, no sign of Jim etc
  • Five minute turnaround and in O'Neills for Mixed Grill at a fiver - quality.
  • Caffreys - quality
  • Guiness Red - quality
  • Phone call from Jim - "can you give us directions we're lost" - err no, we don't live in Brum and have no idea where you are
  • Comedy Club for more heckling, pitchers and "shots"
  • 'Book 'em Danno'
  • Confirmation that 4 pint pitchers do indeed contain 4 ( well, in excess of, actually ) pints - quality
  • New ( well it was in the '80's ) Club next to Comedy Club and dancing with inflatable guitar, despite DJ's flat out refusal to put "Dirtbag" on.
  • No phone tilting this year, just blatent texting.
  • Rocket 'Restaurant'  - the ultimate dining experience, complete with an array of nationalities - eh Ede??
  • Tinnys long shower - cheers mate.
  • 9am start on cider for Birmingham 'hardcore'
  • Not being able to order brekkie ( literally unable to speak), due to above - well, perhaps they didn't have 15 beers the night before- puffs
  • Big Breakfast at Weatherspoons, complete with free round of drinks courtesy of stupid (or should that be ace) bar man.
  • Slaters ale, probably of similar taste to Slaters Home brew
  • The stench around us ( Jim aside ) the morning after the night before - actually, I'll make this a standard bullet point on every page
  • The invention of knob-farting TM
  • Tinny's fear that the knob farting bottle just wouldn't have enough volume, oh well, that seat's been pissed on before, I guess
  • Endless Driff folk in Ground
  • Bogie eating at half time - Ede, I am sure that what pork scratchings lack in size compared to my bogies, they make up for in taste.
  • An early Geo Goal to cheer all up, but then the obligatory rubbish half to end at 1-1....About 12 months ago after Birmingham (2) we were joint top of Premier League - a position we are unlikely to ever see again?
