Tequila, Vodka & Chips

Up early this morning, as today I'm off into London to meet up with some old work buddies who I haven't seen in quite a while. So with the usual morning crap that needs to be done out of the way, I also manage to fit in some of that muscle building stuff I've been yabbering on about.

I've a few of Susan Powter's exercise DVDs, including one called Building Strength so I decided to give it a go. Not bad either, she really tries to emphasise the correct way to do the movements to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Anyway, a quick shower later I head off to my friends, who I'm meeting up with and then heading off into London. I arrive with about 20 minutes to spare, so just enough time to dump my stuff and walk to the station where we catch the train into Liverpool Street.

Since we've arrive early we head to the bar to see if we can get some drinks and a seat... which we manage to do eventually, and not shortly afterwards the rest of the gang arrive.

Most of the evening was well behaved, with everyone catching up with each other and sharing the usual gossip... that was until *someone* (i.e. me) had the bright idea of getting some tequila. 10 shots, £15 quid, not a bad deal! :) We even got free lemon and salt ;) hehehehe.... Strangely it was at about that point everything got a bit raucous and random displays of body parts took over, along with plenty of hand massages and urm... quite a lot of over-familiarity ;) !!!! I'll just let the pictures tell the story!

After the pub finally throws us out, we all have the munchies, and luckily for us someone knows of an Italian greasy spoon which we all head for, and get stocked up on some good old carbs.

I'm amazed we made it back to my friends intact (ok, I'm not quite intact, I've got 3 blisters) as we only manage to get on the train with about 30 seconds spare. Let me tell you, tequila, smirnoff ice, bacon and brie panini, 2 chips and a bottle of water are not the best combination of things to be floating around in your system when you've had a skinful and you've got to do a 40 minute train trip...

BUT, despite all that, I had a fabulous time, really enjoyable and I'll most definitely be doing it again... when my liver recovers!
