Weekend Rundowns

It's already lunchtime Monday and still no weekend recap thread. You people are slipping!

Friday - Went home after work and made a great South African-style curry :D Afterwards, went to meet a friend at a bar/restaurant nearby to drink a few beers while he ate sausages and boiled crayfish :? Then off to 10 Inches (aka 10 Dyumov) for a party with Francois K. I thought it was pretty poorly organized and the foam stations in a couple of spots on the dancefloor required navigation to avoid. Francois played average at best and the incoporation of 3 Depeche Mode remixes into his set might have been excessive (and that's coming from a DM fan). I was diappointed with the whole affair and headed home around 4.

Saturday - Woke up before noon on a Saturday, which is not only rare but turned out to be a bad idea (explain later). Lazed around the house all day before booking the New Years trip for me and the missus and going to the travel agent to pick up our tix. Then the missus and I went to the sports bar to watch Chelsea eek one out over Middlebrough (and Arse fall to Bolton :lol: ). Got home and, due to the relatively early rise, passed out at some ungodly early hour. First weekend night off from the clubs in god knows how long (months?!) and missed Tim Deluxe in the process :(

Sunday - Another lazy day at home before the missus and I went out for Indian food. I know you Brits had that colonial back-and-forth, but the 40-year close friendship between the USSR and India has resulted in Moscow having some of the best curry I've tried anywhere, and that's including what I've had in London. Went home and watched Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (great film!).

We had a birthday in our group in the office today, so already a bit buzzed after a few glasses of wine and it's only lunchtime :lol:
 
Little to report all weekend, but an incident that almost happened yesterday could have been a show stopper.

So... having not drunk much or been clubbing the whole weekend, the current Mrs B and I decide that the 5 o'clock showing of the latest Harry Potter is a good way to avoid the pub. 50 mins into the film and I'm busting for the tolilet. We're at the inside end of a row though and I'm gonna have to ask 5 miserable old gits to stand up to go out and come back.

After considering climbing onto and over the partition to the right of me and deciding I'd attract far too much attention, I was just about to ask the old codgers to move, when the two girls sat in front of me got up and left. Bingo, says your intrepid reporter, I can hop over their seats, and onto the empty one in the front rows and scuttle off to do the necessary. Better still I think, buoyed by my good fortune, (and being the sort of chap who will always vault street furniture rather than walk around it), I'll just jump from my row, over the one in front and land gracefully on the empty seat in the front row.

I was with a nanosecond of launching myself into my carefully planned manoeuvre, I actually had my hands in postion to grab the back of my empty front row chair as I landed when.............








....................THE TODDLER SAT IN IT lifted himself up just enough for me to see him! How the hell would you explain the logic employed above to a father, sat next his broken, bleeding pride and joy. :lol: Surely he would have just attacked me? :lol: I'm still imagining the detail of how it would have worked out!
 
thursday: went to Pacha in Sharm El Sheikh after guzzling cheap vodka (called 'Fineland', complete with deer on the bottle, but it was made in egypt... smelt like nasty chemicals and tasted pretty rank too)

The club itself is pretty cool, open air with big jellyfish things hanging from the ceiling, a swimming pool/waterfall thing, trapeze artists and dancers, reasonable sound system, absolutely huge. You had to buy drinks tokens before you could get served at the bar for some reason. Music was good, not cheesy at all which was good. The place was almost 100% russians it seemed. Stayed until it closed at 5am or so.

Friday: Incredibly hungover, managed to get out of bed at about 12 and promptly vomitted, then decided that we were glad that there was a KFC in our resort ( :lol: ) and decided to get a huge fried chicken meal. After lunch went quod biking in the desert which was amazing, it's absolutely beautiful. Pretty tourist trappy type activity (we were taken past several shops as we biked all in a line) but was fun. Early to bed that evening due to incredible hungoverness and need to pack for checkout on saturday

Sat: lazed by the pool, checked out, caught flight home at 8pm. Finally made it to my bed at 3am

Sunday: slept/unpacked/watched Miss Congeniality 2

Tours to Egypt from Moscow are really cheap. Some cost as little as 200-300 euros. Thus, the overabundance of Russians there (Turkey and Cyprus are the same)

yeah we figured it must be cheap for russians. Was the first time I'd been to a 'resort' (i.e. purposely built for tourists) where english were in the minority. It seems we aren't the only ones that want a hard rock cafe, a KFC and pizza hut :lol:

Nottingham thursday night, and friday, back down to london saturday for knuckles and rampling.

Really good night. Knuckles was brill, and as was rampling. Loved it when rampling played an hour of quality quality acid house. Saw john digweed wondering around turnmills looking very lost.

Good to see the usual gang. Bumped into ferd who was standing next to me slumped against the wall. :lol:

Left about 10ish.

Fab night.
 
I had such a good weekend :D :D

Friday night Joey done the warm up at Hed Kandi and he done so well, so love to see someone have so much fun when he's playing and doing what he loves best. Kat came and we drank the vodka in the booth, another bottle arrives and we had an hour left so drank as much as we could :roll: :lol:. Had a few come back to ours for a little while and then went to bed at around 5am-ish.

Woke up at 2.30pm 8O and had a cup of tea thinking i was fine if not still a little drunk only to be sick and carry on being sick until around 6pm. Managed to eat something and felt a little better.

Sunday went to see Harry Potter film, how bloody good is this 8) 8), cooked a lovely chicken dinner and put the tree up.

I kept thinking to myself "who's this f*cker that keeps pushing me to get his drink?" ;) :lol:

Kleinenberg was fantastic. Copperband and I left Ministry at 6 ish, queue at Turnmills wasnt too big but they still charged us £20!!!
Couldnt believe how busy it still was. Couldnt find anyone until we bumped into Scoobies. We then gradually saw the rest of the gang, some in a worse state than others.. ;)
Can someone tell me the end of the shoe story please?? :lol:

Left at 9 ish.

Friday: Night in with friends - good laugh!

Sunday: Set out quite early. Bought some blinds for our velux's, a second christmas tree, big food shop then came home and had a practice christmas dinner (with crackers :oops: ). Had a siesta and chilled on sofa for rest of day.
