friday
Certainly not on best form following two nights out. Like a brave wee soldier though endured the standing-room-only sweatbox back to The Smokie with only Empire for company.
Arrived home just too late to meet Robin & family, a devastating disappointment given that Fraser was kicking out the jams on accordion.
To compensate however the London-based relatives (Linda/Bev/Jo) had arrived, to help consume Gramps’ beers, offer witty accented banter and generally look foxy. Friday of course was also the climax of Big Brother, which is fairly well documented elsewhere. The indisputable highlight is hardly mentioned however, in case you missed it:
One of the contestants – Scott – is prone to talking in his sleep. This being BB, all of his nocturnal babbling over the 64 days had been recorded for posterity. When he emerged from the house they played it all back to the nation, with subtitles where necessary. How we laughed then when he dreamily mumbled the magic words
squatting over a mirror… checking out my bumhole…
Ah ha hah haaa, we cried. Now that’s embarrassing. We tried to dig out a more embarrassing personal story later in our drunkenness at The Crown but failed by a narrow margin. Reebeast came closest : )
saturday
In summary: lots and lots of food and booze. Trip to Dundee was abandoned at the last minute – sorry Rossie – for various practical reasons. Instead the Arbroath tour took in the Seaforth, Tutties Neuk (the cheapest pub in existence) and finally Viewfield. Thanks to the abuse from my cousins the rather tired word ‘chebs’ has now been wholly replaced by the friendlier ‘bumpers’. Rest of saturday fairly messy: one word, karaoke. Teenage Dirtbag if you must know (ironic as we’re all 26+).
sunday
Utterly, utterly wrecked until mid-afternoon. Rich and family arrived to assorted baby-bothering and hilarity. The rest of the day was one big giggle in the sunshine really, top stuff.
This weekend should be fairly mental, leaving drinks, clubs, parties and all sorts. Hope your weekend is/was good wherever you are.
