Jack, may i just say,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

and indeed lol.

Pitchie:
It was great to meet you properly in Bolton Jack and what a great night Friday night was with everyone. Considering you made day 2, do you think you"ll be putting this type of pre match preparation into use in the future?/

Paul.

technolog:
Well Paul, seeing as I have felt like **** up until today, been the butt of forum jokes & had embarrassing photos posted, the answer is almost certainly...YES!!!!!!!

By the way, I have to say what an absolute pleasure it was to make your acquaintance.

technolog:
Right, now I"m back in the land of the living, I suppose a short trip report might be in order. I"m afraid it"ll have to be short as I don"t remember that much of it :)

I arrived at the Holiday Inn at about 5pm on the Friday and, setting the tone for the weekend, after a very rapid couple of pints, started to feel the effects. I was hoping the hard hours of training in Lloret de Mar but a brief 12 days previously would stand me in good stead. Alas no.

A shower and a few more pints at the HI bar [no, I wasn"t having a shower in the bar. My naked lobby antics were to come a few, short hours later] and we head for the bright lights and the Bolton glitterati.

Okay, to be honest, at this point things start getting a little hazy, so corrections and addendums are not only allowed but actively encouraged.

I know we spent a while at Wetherspoon"s The Spinning Mule where myself and another APATer were getting on famously with a couple of people of the lady persuasion. I remember a few scenes from the casino, which I believe I may have teleported to as I have no recollection of the journey.

Apparently, at some ungodly hour, we made our way back to the HI and this is where I made my great breakthrough and discovered a remedy for drunkeness.

I must have somehow made my way into my room (a minor miracle in itself). I"m guessing that I must have got up to go to the toilet. By the way, which idiot decided to put the bathroom door right next to the door to the hotel corridor?

I obviously made the fateful error of taking the corridor option and it was at this point, on hearing the "click" of the door locking behind me, that my eyes snapped open like roller blinds in a Tom & Jerry cartoon and my long-lost sobriety was at once, total and assured.

I must have stood there in stunned disbelief for several seconds, possibly minutes, as I came to terms with the stark reality and downright terror of the situation I found myself in. It didn"t take too long to realise that my options were limited. I had no phone, no clothes, no clue as to friends" rooms. No options.

It dawned on me that I would have to make my way to the hotel lobby and get a new key card.

All I can say is that the seven, long months of dieting & exercising to lose 7 stones, 18 months previously were worth it a thousand-fold just for those few, short seconds of still-humiliating embarrassment.

And I"m sorry kinboshi, but the fact that the reception was staffed that night by a man is definitely proof that there is a God.

AAroddersAA:
You don"t remember having chicken on the way back to the casino? Or my expert directions? Or me falling into a puddle, due to a very slipperly floor, which you all found funny - it was very harsh. I was on the floor and you were all laughing. I would never do a thing like that. Oh, wait a minute :-)))

Great weekend though, can"t wait for the next one.
