Before I completely forget here's what I remember from the best night of the year...
The Rose and Crown
The meet-and-greet. A good turnout, welcome back to Matthew and two beer pumps running dry which meant Ben didn't get the pint I'd recommended. Sorry Ben, hope you enjoyed what you got. Pediction Champ Simon S drew the first question and the debate over Stuart's weight started here.
The Fox
Best behaviour needed in here. The 'guess who's got 50 caps for England' game took a bit longer than I'd hoped! Kev's question is best forgotten!
The Highworth
We nearly found ourselves in a birthday party but were moved on at the last moment. There are no scales in The Highworth.
The Goldfinger
Paul finds us in game mode. Matthew wins Kev's darts game and the pool seems to be a three-way tie between Simon P, Ian and PG. Tom Daley's 'Splash' is on the TV. Least said, soonest mended.
The Plough
Stuart's bizarre cards and pool combo game needs work.
The Globe
With Adolf unable to sing The Gambler his replacement steps in. Stuart dances to Baggy Trousers on the karaoke. He might not have got the hang of this. My highlight is all of us walking out mid-way through his performance!
The Saracen's Head
Stuart is flying now. He holds court with his £20, bottle and pound coins magic trick which, in fairness is good.
The King & Queen
Always lively but it does lead to the group fragmenting. Stu is now doing one-armed press-ups, perhaps to work up an appetite.
Rafus -These boys know their way round a curry. Great way to round off a night, Stuart promises to turn £500 into £5,000 by this time next year. Watch this space...
