what I did this weekend, a story

I started to make a list of memories from the weekend but it got so long that I realised I’d need a whole thread so here we are.
Friday, Noon. The drinking starts at St. Pancras station as I meet Claw and CIA for a little pre-train drink. If you’re gonna do the weekend properly you might as well start early.
Friday, 4 p.m. I arrive at the Holiday Inn to find the party already in full swing, the world’s smallest bar is already packed out with blondes and not a single soft drink in sight. As myself and Shogun are checking in the receptionist starts quizzing us, it seems they’re very worried as they have poker players in pretty much every room and their cleaners come in early to start work. They can’t work out when they’re going to get to clean the rooms with us all in bed ‘til late so we put her mind at rest by lying and tell her we’ll all be out by 10.
Over the next few hours the blonde contingent led by Laxie and the Duke proceed to drink the hotel bar dry until it’s time to head into town; both the kids and the grown ups are starting the night in Chambers karaoke bar, all we have to do is get into town, a simple task you’d imagine. For normal people maybe, for pissed up fools no.
It all seemed so easy at first, a hotel employee told us our taxi was ready which was pretty sweet seeing as we hadn’t ordered one so myself, Kingpoker, the Duke and Kinboshi strolled out to get it. Kin tells me to get in the front and tell them where we’re going but there’s a problem, the door’s locked and there’s no driver. What do you do in this situation? Easy, you tell KP who’d not noticed that he should get in the front and then laugh at him when the door doesn’t open. Once we’d finished laughing at him weren’t sure what to do next, the favourite option was to call the taxi firm and explain to them that when we asked for a cab we’d assumed they’d send a driver too but our slurred thought processes were interrupted by the arrival of taxi no. 2. We tried to get in this one but the driver insisted we had to tell him which room it was ordered for. ’27, 8, 312, 200’ we tried all the numbers we knew but didn’t hit on the right one, in the middle of this a lady walks out of reception and asks ‘are you room 114?’. ‘Yes’ we reply in Unison’. ‘I’ve been waiting inside for 10 minutes’ she says and walks towards the locked car. We finally have wheels; the real occupants of room 114 can walk.

PMSL, It was pure comedy the way we all replied "Yes" in unison to the "Are you from room 114?" question!

Lisa is the best taxi driver you could hope for unless you actually want to go somewhere specific. The early conversation went something like this-
Us- Chambers please
Lisa- Where’s that
Us-Don’t know, you’re the taxi driver
L-Only for 5 weeks though, I don’t know where anything is
Us-Quick, can you run that bloke over
Lisa now veers towards monkey Matt who’s walking through the car park, she misses but stops close enough for us to ask if he knows where the club is. He does have the postcode but as Lisa has no satnav we’re still kinda stuck so we go to the radio.
Lisa- Can you tell me where Chambers is?
Radio-Opposite the Park Plaza hotel
Lisa-Where’s the Park Plaza hotel?
Us-Opposite Chambers
It’s obvious we’re not getting anywhere so we decide to just go to Maid Marion way and find our own way from there. The journey consisted of pure drunken comedy with invites to Lisa’s house (these may or may not have come from Lisa herself), Duke hanging out the window shouting at anyone within earshot, photos being taken of random strangers is passing cars. We parked up on Maid Marion way with KP giggling as he’d just seen a shop called ‘coming’ while at the same time fuming as (story going non PC from here warning) a dwarf had just gone past on an electric bike and he hadn’t got a photo. I can’t remember who said it first but the cry went up, ‘let’s go round again’, At first Lisa wasn’t sure we were serious but when she realised no-one was getting out we set off on a tour of the city centre with 2 objectives 1) to photograph a dwarf and 2) to see the ‘coming’ shop.
