Hello all you Maddies, especially the Scottish Hardcore!
Well I've been biding my time to see what Mr G and Rob W could remember to
see if it sparked any memories in my own head. Alas, no! I am none the
wiser about what went on in Edinburgh last Saturday. It's true that the
local constabulary were conspicuous by their absence. Maybe it's just that
Embra polis are more easy going than Strathclyde's finest;-)
My memories are these:
Finding Mr G's good woman's flat no problem thanks to his expert directions.
Getting a bus to travel about 400 yards because Mr G's new DM shoes were
hurting him, and getting booze (lots of great bargains in Haddows including
3 for 2 on packets of McCoys crisps. Mmmmmm.... chilli flavoured McCoys).
Getting to Mr G's friends' flat to find Liverpool already one up thanks to
a stormer from Steven Gerrard, and having bacon rolls and beer while
watching Liverpool stroll the rest of the match (basically because Man Utd
didn't play Andy Goram in goal).
Then the slippery slope really started at The Venue. We were getting a bit
boozy by the time Rob arrived and I don't have a clear memory of walking
out of The Venue. But I remember getting out the taxi to go the Frankenstein's.
My last lucid memory is of looking across the table in that place at the
sad sight of Mr G, head hung, slumped over the table, and looking much the
worse for wear.
Then the memories are *very* vague. I remember being in that other pub but
could never have told you where in Edinburgh it was. I remember seeing my
mate Kenny. I just picture him laughing, probably at the state me and Rob
were in.
And that's about it. Next thing I know, it's Sunday and I'm in Rob's house
and my stomach was *well* dodgy. A quick hghie and a dump, into Kirkcaldy
for a couple of cheeseburgers and a strawberry milk shake and all was well
with the world once again. And by Tuesday my kidneys had stopped screaming
at me!
So there you have it. Another McMadmeet. Sadly missing some vital members
but those of us there did our best to keep up our hard-drinking
reputation(!). And as ever, we were all brothers together in the name of
Madness. Roll on Blackpool;-) Belly's gonna get you!
Cheers,
Peter
