DROVE to the pub last night

black olive · 1st December 2007, 20:11

for one reason and another, I hadnt been out with the mates since July, we we went out couple of weeks ago, and it ended up being a very late one, the following day being written off

After vowing never to drink again

I decided that I needed to meet up with the mates again a bit more regularly, but it not to end in drunken disaster every time (we dont seem to be able to go out and drink in moderation )

So last night I drove to the local. ( the local being 10 miles away

).

for someone who loves a pint, i didnt find it an issue, I think I had a better night than if I had been drinking, we went to a few pubs, I had a pose in Black olive, and had a chuckle to myself at the sight of everyone else getting far too drunk.
woke up this morning on the ball, and surprised the dog by taking her for a run instead of lying stinking in bed for an hour.

Ill certainly do it again, despite the price of pop ( why is it dearer than ale ?) I saved over £20 in taxi fares .

Im making up for it tonight though with a few well chosen ales and a dirty kebab to warm up for later

Always funny to see your mates "worse for wear"

Take your camera next time for added fun
