Preston's
28th Bday 
Preston's 28th Birthday. Something a bit different, Preston decided to take us to the dogs! It was a good showing from the lads, quite surprising considering Preston never ever attends anyone else's birthdays, guess the excitement of watching a bunch of dogs chasing a stuffed bunny round and round a track was just too much to resist!
Unfortunately Nick wasn't allowed out by his missus to come play at the dogs, he had to stay in and do the washing up, or look after the kids or something. So those attending were myself, Preston, Dave, Finney, Big Man, Hussey and Nobby. The lads were betting big, after winning a £2 bet Preston decided to go for broke placing a whopping £4 on Trap 2. Unfortunately, Preston's never had too much success with trap 2 (just ask his missus), he lost the lot. Raven, being a traditionalist stuck with trap 1, and being a safe bet, got 2 winners. Most of the other lads also had winners, except Big Man who I think spent more time studying the form at the bar than the track.
Included in the cost of the ticket was a meal voucher
worth £5. An big burger and chips was only about £3 which left £2 worth of
vouchers to do what with? Well out of principle we all just bought as much food
as possible to use up our free vouchers, far more food than we could ever
conceivably digest given our lean figures, and threw it all pretty much straight
in the bin.
Once we'd run out of beer vouchers there really wasn't much more to be had from
the Dog Track so we headed into Brum. We went to a couple of places, no idea
what they were called, kinda bar/clubs, not bad!
Colin Stagg turned up, with his missus in tow, presumably having whipped through the washing up and gurgled down some cooking sherry. He was suitably oiled.
(Gimp offers Stagg's missus some words of wisdom from his 28 years on this Earth (scary) whilst Colin looks on...)
Preston, not known for his generosity when it comes to his wallet, bought a round of cocktails for everyone except Col's missus. Judging by the look on his face when he got the bill, it's not something he'll be doing again.
Nick had come out late and as fate would have it, he was the first to leave. Apparently he'd been at the bar queuing for a drink (probably to make up for the one Preston didn't buy for his missus). Whilst waiting, some girl who was also queuing said something to him, probably asked the time or something. This was seen at a distance by Col's missus who must have mistaken the girls interest in wanting to know the time, for an interest in Col's cock. A couple of hefty slaps later and poor old Col was on the floor being dumped. In my opinion that was bang out of order. She could of just taken him aside for a quiet word but no, full on slaps in front of everyone. How's that gonna leave Col looking? Completely blew his chances with the girl in the queue!
"Nice Hedge"
The plan had been for most of the chimps to stay at Cols, unfortunately Nick had gone running off home after his missus so that that was no longer an option. We all piled back to Dave's house for a cheese on toast. The sleeping arrangements were somewhat complicated by the fact there were 5 lads and only two beds, and none of us much cares for sleeping with men. Further complicated by Big Man who has a Big Snore which doesn't put him top of the list when it comes to choosing sleeping partners. Personally I think the whole thing, perhaps even down to Nick's 'fight', was actually just a big ruse for Dave to get me into bed with him. Filthy Swine.
After a particularly rough night's sleep we spent the morning after farting the beer out and playing with a computer program 'Chimp me Up', Chimp photos coming soon.
