| The Bishop, the Dj and the 13 hour drinking session |
|
Saturday 21st November -
Wasn't planning on having a big day, or even a big night, but when I went round to my friends house in the afternoon and had a quick beer before going shopping it started a saturday that ended at 4am. After checking the new items in my favourite vintage shop and looking unsuccesfully for black christmas cards we stopped for a beer at HaHa's and discussed love and life. Then off to the Wig and Pen for the rugby and a couple more pints.
While sitting outside we heard a bugle and turned to see a group of people headed by one guy dressed as a Bishop. As they got closer it was obvious to see no one else was in fancy dress so we assumed a stag do. As the rest of the party went into the pub the Bish stayed outside for a smoke and told us his 'story'. Apparently he was an old raver who randomly dressed as a bishop every now and again, but not when anyone else dressed up as it wouldn't be 'special'. He then gave us a rendition of 'Jesus Saves'. After dropping in to visit the Lady C, and having a cup of tea, it was off to the White Lion and a couple games of billiards and some fine real ales. Then a cab to the Bridgehouse, the new rock pub in town, for 'Crash and Burn' the new dark rock industrial night. Â
By this time it was 9.30pm and we stayed there drinking, dancing and eating lollies until it closed at 2am. One of the DJ's asked if I would like to guest DJ at the next event – yes please! I should have gone home but decided to grab the last hour and a half of cock rock at 'Rival' in Hades bar.  More beers and dancing before getting a cab home to pass out at 4am...bloody hell.
