Honest to god it feels like Monday.

I know it's Tuesday really. It must be. Someone put my bins out for collection this morning.

I've no idea who it was - but just on the off chance that that person finds themselves reading my blog... Ta!

I don't remember much about the weekend.

I remember it was extended by a day thanks to Lana and Miss B... (like i protested one little bit)... I remember the fantastic rugby (despite England's scoreline) on Saturday. I remember there was 'some' drink involved at some point. It's all a blur now... Did I really dance like an idiot in the Nage with my stupid shaved head dancing right back at me me from 2005  - on a big screen?

Did Miss B really drink Baileys for breakfast? Did we really name our pub quiz team 'two guys, a girl and a whore?'. Where did Lana come from? Where did Magroo go? What happened on Friday? Did La Fu really finally do it? Did Greg really get renamed Greggles after falling asleep? Why are my legs so sore? Did we go bowling?

I know that various bits of me hurt today but it's mainly my cheeks from laughing so bloody hard all weekend.

You know - some things change slowly: the pubs we drink in, the drinks that we drink, our collective ages, and even our sexual preferences. Some things change quickly: our partners, our mental health (!), our finances. But one thing just seems to remain the same... I'm lucky to be constantly surrounded by friends that are the funniest people alive.

Now.. I'll go get some bloody work done.

WOW!

What a fantastic couple of days I've just had. This is the first time in about three years that I've not been roped into working on Hogmany so it was always going to be a bit tricky to work out where would be the best place to actually  see in the new year.

I have to offer my special sarcastic thanks to whatever virus or bug made me ill on New Years eve. I couldn't get out of my bed until 4pm, and I was a RIGHT MISERABLE C**T up until the Vodka Red Bull's fixed me at around 10pm. (Again - my apologies Magroo!)

First part of the evening was with Magroo for a meal with 20ish folk from 'out his way'. I good laugh (despite feeling like poo), highlights included the paper aeroplane fight which got messy when the planes were adapted to carry cutlery!

A very drunken 'i love you' phone call from my sister in Gran Canaria at the bells saw in the new year. Myself and Miss B then gatecrashed a Bring A Party To A Party thingy-me-bob up at the 5* Ardoe House hotel. Bru La Fu was DJ'ing - he was on fine form, and we absolutely made the most of it! Everyone looked great, Miss B's eBay purchases turned a few heads! ... but not as much as Bru La Fu's insistence of proving he was a 'real Scotsman' on several occasions! That turned a few stomach's!

Alex Alex Lovie (sic.) drove us all into town in a blazing chorus of Muse hits, then we hit the 'Nage for last orders. 

Union Street at is a strange place at the best of times. It's even more strange a 4.30am on Hogmany. Non of us knew where were were going after getting kicked out of the 'Nage, so we just followed the masses of people walking west.

We then stumbled on a man attempting to fight someone.

Normally this would have been a scary experience, but this kilted fellow was unable to land a single punch as his brogues were too slippy, the floor to icy, and he appeared to have the alcohol induced balanced of a tramp. Sadly for us this particular gentlemen was also a true Scotsman and during this ordeal presented himself for inspection to us all on more than one occasion. It takes a lot to make Miss B blush... you get the picture.

Bru La Fu (coppers nark that he is) flagged down a police van

Bru to copper: "There is a guy down there fighting - but his tackle is hanging out all over the place".

Copper: "Cheers mate - which one is it?"

Bear in mind it's union street at 4.30am on Hogmany in Scotland.

Bru: "The drunk one in the kilt."

Genius. Thank you Juliet Bravo.

After posing for photographs with KMT (!) a small miracle happened and a First Bus randomly appeared which happened to be terminating at Bru La Fu's house! yay!

So back to his where wine was poured (and spilt and then slept in) and we played with the new Wii until 6.30am. ACE.

Woke up around 12 and had SUCH a great day yesterday. After getting into the habit of working to some degree every single day of the year it was just great to spend the entire day with hungover friends and no laptop. In the evening we had meal with Coco, Bru La Fu, Miss B + Family in town and I remember laughing so much I nearly cried. So many funny moments (Coco was on form!).... but quote of the evening?

Miss B: "Well Coco - You say potato"

TJ jumps in: "Miss B says Vodka".

Yay!

Then we rounded off the whole weekend back at Coco's where we drank wayyyyyyyyyy to much and are now all wishing we'd stopped sooner!

Whilst the last two days were fairly low-key events, I can honestly say that I've had the best Hogmany in years as I got to spend it with the funniest people on the planet :-)
