Sog's stag

Stop. Weekly update time.

This week I’ve been mostly...

...wearing a scouser wig in Bristol with load of men...

... including that soon to be lumbered
man, my uni mate Soggy boy.

Easily the best thing in a skirt we saw in that room
on Friday night, as discussed with most of you.

We also enjoyed a few quiet drinks.

I also got beaten by Mike 'lucky' Smaje at pool. Bother.

And in other news:

Yea!!!
“Molly Jemima McEvoy born after much resistance at 9.20 this morning. 8 pounds 1 oz, happy healthy and beautiful.”

Mullock’s luck has turned round since last post. Look out for some of the most garish outfits ever appearing in coming months.
“Hundreds of people entered the Aon20 quiz by answering four questions about Aon. All correct entries were entered into a prize draw and the winner is... Sam Mullock. Sam wins £1000 of EXTRAs retail vouchers.”

Heroic wideboy action of the week:
“I woke up in the Chesterfield this morning following (insert name of London-based corporate jolly here). I can't tell you how much vintage champagne I drank, but it was a lot. A lot.”

And the waiter only asked him for a tip*. http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6586879.stm

Yeah, good on ya.

Played poker with a gang of people from work last night and that man Mullock. Below is a funny as hell video of the biggest pot of the night. Full of 'fine scenes' including hilarious pressure on Mullock from my work colleague John Finn who was already busted and was was dealing ('gonna have to hurry you - we'll give you 30 seconds'), me getting shouted at for failing to notice there was a player still to act and the second worst call of all time from a random who was playing with us. Also look out for a hilariously ungenuine 'yeah, good on ya' by the unlucky loser.

Was not that an unreasonable call by Mullock asTom (the ginger guy - another workmate) was playing loose and mental aggressive, as usual. And Mullock was only £15 down in the end so very respectable overall.

Sam da man.

Mr Shaw and 'FTSE' Finn battle it out across the blue baize.

Get a load of my ace quiche. Home made pastry as well.
DA unfairly suggested that this wasn't the most manly way
to spend my Sunday morning. The lovely young ladies I had dinner with t'other day.

Bond didn't end up with this many chips in Casino Royale.

The age old dilemma - dolly bird vs Dairy Milk

Fast love.

Deffo Dairy Milk for this guy from now on.

Easy pickings.

Inspired by this lady I decided to organise a gathering at Chez Lunt on Tue 1 May so me plus pals can all watch the big Pool CL game vs Chelsea together. Anything she can do I can do better – I’m aiming for £500,000 of damage. Internet invite, eh? I can do that. Unfortunately, half the people I sent it to claim to be away on holiday, claim to live too far away (a frankly pathetic excuse Gartside) or claim to not like football. Also, I have had countless emails (approx 4) saying stuff like ‘busy at work then?’ after sending out the above. A tad unfair as this kind of thing doesn’t take at all long to put together, as fellow reprographics experts Millhouse-Ward and Pedro Trantorial can testify. You will be shocked to learn that the image below IS NOT genuine and was instead created by Trantorial in two shakes of a lambs tail.
Come to my party if you're around. Which you're probably not.

The Leeds side streets that you slip down

Well, well, well.

Pleasant weekend in Leeds this weekend. Fun night at indie club the Cockpit with Smaje on Fri followed by a very successful BBQ and poker night session at Emma’s patch on the Sat. In the words of Mark Stanley™ Millward, 'fine scenes'. Still in Leeds as the trains to London are up the spout and I didn't fancy a bus replacement journey. No probs however as have filled the day playing internet poker with Ad and Emma (am playing a tourno with them while typing this), watching some Peep Show (tis cringeworthy funny, thanks Evans) and eating some Easter Eggs. Nice.

Some pics:

Perhaps a spot too much liquid firelighter?

Slightly more under control. Note pro
bloater Smaje loitering ready to pounce.

Ad camping it up in his Brokeback Mountain hat.

Have some more rubbish. A link to my favourite website ever.

In particular.

And a funny picture.
Stop press - they're about to make me watch Lord of the Rings. I'm a goblin and elf dodger and proud to have avoided it for years. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

All hail King Croom

We have a LEGEND in our midst. I got up early last Sunday morning and sat there eagerly refreshing four Internet Explorer windows simultaneously again and again in the hope that one would get through to the Glastonbury ticket purchase website. After an hour and a quarter my finger was aching and my hope draining away........until (cue fanfare in the style of Mighty Mouse) that man Croomo phoned and muttered the magic words:

‘I’m on the ticket purchase screen - I’ll get one for you if you give me your registration number’.

.

Moments later, a Glasto ticket was safely bagged. The great, good and kind superhero master genius King Croomo (as he will now be known) is pictured below in Budapest in Dec 04. I will be printing this image off and worshiping it every day.

The magnificent image of the great, good and
kind superhero master genius King Croomo.

Incidentally, I found this nice one of me and Ms L posing on the
very same Budapest jolly when looking for the above pic.

I expect more of the same as last time. That is:

1. Lots of mud

2. Lots of fun to (very) questionable music

3. And lots of poking fun at people
who decided not to wear wellies.

Though I'd better watch my step re the last one. I think Box nearly gave me slapping at the time and that was before I posted it on the internet. Think I'd better lay low for a while.
