been up and doing some grownup stuff today.
After an visit to the cinema last night to see The Hobbit with some tennis pals, we decided to play a LOTR drinking game with FOTR.
turns out there are rules and everything.
So I popped into Morrisons, picked up 12x Carlsburg and we're off!
You have to drink if the following occurs:-
Everyone must have one drink whenever..
1. There's a close-up of the ring
2. Someone draws a sword
3. Someone speaks in elvish (the language of Mordor counts)
4. Merry and/or Pippin do/say something stupid
5. There's a gay look/line/implication between Frodo and Sam
6. Legolas says something poetic or looks off into the distance
7. Gandalf says something wise/mysterious
8. Someone speaks about the Strength of Men or Aragorn's bloodline/future.
9. Out of respect, when a character of importance passes away - SKULL.
10. Whenever Legolas does something kick-arse (can be judged by the participants)
11. Whenever Frodo falls over.
12. Whenever there is an Elf vs. Dwarf moment.
13. At the "Share the Load" moment in the last movie, the person with the least alcohol in their drinking vessel
14. Whenever Smeagol/Gollum says "precious"
must skull that of the person with the most.
And this is for the diehard fans;
If you say a line in time with the movies (correctly) you may allocate 3 drinks.
HOWEVER, if you don't get the line right, say one wrong word etc, you must take 3 drinks.
The first player to pass out/vomit should be made to walk around a heavily populated area dressed as either a hobbit, an elf or Gandalf.
The last one standing/conscious/not vomitting is.. THE LORD OF THE RING.
Well, with my messed up sleep cycle I felt tired before we started.
Add 4 cans in 30 mins... And well I didn't make it out of the shire.
We've agreed to do it again properly with a big group on a weekend sometime.

Anyway, then up today, nice n early because of the early sleep, I pick up my bro from mums. He is still hanging from his night out, and we head over to get some super hero outfits for tonights assault on the Milton Keynes nightlife.
And onto the grown up stuff. Put some money in the bank, head over to my god daughters party for her 1st birthday, its really good to see her and her parents... They moved to Cyprus 6 months ago on an RAF posting....
Great to see everyone, all the family, grandparents.. Friends and everyone's babies...
Turns out the two girls who didn't have babies at the wedding last year now have. I felt a little baby-light...
Does remind me that even though I 'feel' like I want to have a family.. I have so much to do first.
Time for a nap before 'The Stig' goes out to do some damage.
Pics will follow.
