It’s Sunday lunchtime. I’ve just woken up at Tezz’s place. Grant, Tezz and I went to the Maple Leaf in Covent Garden last night. Don’t ask me why we went to a Canadian pub..?
We proceeded to get stuck into the pints. Kronenburg, some-dudes-name beer, some honey canadian beer. Some Canadians asked us if we were staying for the game. Game? What game?! Turns out Canada was playing Russia in the World Ice Hockey finals live tonight (Bigscreen and live Tee! Jealous? hehehe). We watched as the bar filled up prior to “the game”. Chris, a Canadian joined our table and acted as our ‘Canadian Guide’ for the night!:)
Russia played dirty and got flogged by Canada. The final is on tonight between ‘da and Sweden I think.
After the game we headed to the Bok bar, a South African bar, nearby. Oh, we had been joined by Genna-Leigh (Tezz’s girl) and we were still weaering our “hockey helmets’ that they’d given out in the Maple Leaf! We were hammered!
In here we drank more pints and talked more shite.. we met Liam Gallagher (hehe) and his younger brother who didn’t have the long hair and wouldn’t pick up the chick in the orange no matter how much we embarassed him into trying! hehehe
Still with our Canadian helmets on we wandered around looking for food. I don’t eat Maccas so that threw Tezz and Genna-L. Grant had bailed from the Maple Leaf to meet Sheila for dinner. I remember going into Pizza Hut but there was going to be a 20min wait. We ended up in DACCA Tandoori. Very nice food even if I was falling asleep at the table. 45 quid for the three of us though.. eek! My funds are gonna run out before I get to mainland Europe!
Still causing havoc, we headed back to Tezz/Genna-L’s on the train.. I think? I dunno.. I do remember getting into the car at some stage which was filled with broken glass from being broken into the other day. Tezz’s car stereo go nicked.. bastards!
I slept on the couch. Very nice place here. Very posh fittings and stuff.. so much for all the stories about people slumming it in England! 😛
Very nice day today.. blue skies!! Gonna head out and get a SIM for the phone I think, if the nearby Carphone Warehouse is open. It’ll only take another couple of hours for this hangover to go away.. meanwhile Tezz and Genna-Leigh are watching some shite soapie Holly Oaks.. 😛
Did you arrive safe yet stu??
You’re not paying attention are you? Yes, I arrived safe!!!! 😛
Don’t you even want to know about the hockey?! 😛
Yeah i want to know about the hockey,
tell me about the hockey…
Russia usually plays really clean!!!
GEEZ! I KNEW you would ask about the hockey! 😛
I can’t remember much but it was like 4-1 Canada’s way. Canada scoring lots of early goals. Russia just seemed to be getting a lot of fouls called against them. Very fast game and even harder to follow the puck on TV, but after watching you lot I can spot it by watching player movement. I was pretty busy drinking and talking though, so the hockey wasn’t a focus 🙂
How could hockey not be your focus!!!!!
Gosh, good sport is wasted on you!
😛
Hello to both of you!
Disco-Stu, glad you got there safe and I have laughed reading all your ‘exciting’ adventures so far. Have to read your blog on a different computer at work ’cause apparently the PCs think it contains "porn"…Pfffft.
Anyway, big hug to you and please give Granty, Sheila and Tezz all a big hug from me. 🙂
Why, it does contain porn. I’m sure I saw bike porn there somewhere. And, why do I keep tyoping that as "port"? Yum.
