Let the festivities begin

The action packed festive social scene has started already in London. There's loads of stuff going on, mostly in locations where liquid refreshment is available. It all started on Wed.

Wed - Played broomball, which is like ice hockey (i.e. on an ice rink and there are goals) but everyone wears trainers and skateboard-like safety stuff for elbows, knees and head. Unfortunately no pics but t'was good fun and lots on comedy falls. I didn't fall but did manage to look silly by missing a penalty in a group stage shoot out, which was nice. I also had a run in with a ref who threatened to send me off for giving backchat. Some things never change.

Thurs - Grand presentation evening (i.e. thinly disguised piss up) for a 5 a side team I played for once all season who came second in their division. We ended up in the infamously crap Abacus club for a bit near 'the Bank' (as all the wideboys call it) which if I never saw again would be too soon.

Fri - Get a load of the Bond private screening below! I think there's a themed tux party afterwards with a casino etc. Am well excited. And Ian'll be there as well to help ensure that fun is had by all and that beer will flow.

Got a few things on next week as well incl Poker (again see below) and a big meet up with Kearns and twfka Cutler. The busy social schedule will continue right until the new year now. I expect to wake up some time in January with a very big headache.

Dave's manly looking footie injury.

Glory for me and Ian, who played three games between us all season.

Tonight's fun and games.
Next week's poker.
