My First Blonde Bash - By Mr F

[Poppet7]

I only stole a croissant! The waitress did stop us and asked if we were staying at the Marriott, we just said 'no', when she asked about the rest of you we just said 'we're not sure' and walked out!

I must've been too tired because I don't remember that hand that was mentioned... most of the time I was the one dealing, and Dave was the one sorting the chips...wasn't really paying much attention to what was happening, I was tired and hungry - I hadn't eaten since the friday night!

Most people piled back into the bar for one last fag before bed. Kev had pulled so made his way up to his room with his "acquaintance"  and the rest of us made our way, mostly unaccompanied, to our rooms....

ok boys come clean and admit who kiv pulled or i will have to out the pair of them (yeah that means you jim carry)

I know. I know.

Clue - likes animals

[Colchester Kev]

they would have to like animals to want to sleep in the same room as me


Ps. I dont want to spoil Mr F's revelation, but my "victim" makes a lovely cup of tea, and doesnt snore

No Flops Homer - An Apology

During this time I remember chatting for periods with sonppy and No Flops Homer. 

I CAN remember speaking to No Flops.  I CAN remember him being a really nice guy.  I have absolutely no memory of what he actually looks like such was my state of tired and emotionalness.  So Mr Flops I apologise.

That's alright dude.

Has the diary dried up then 

[Mr F]

Not exactly Big Man.  Being as you like diaries here's a quick guide to my last few days.  Thursday out at pool dished out a beating to flashy kid in singles then fluffeda shot at teh end of a six ball clearance to lose doubles. 

Friday busy at work, went to TT training then to pub took £150 playing brag woohoo.  Then won a fiver at pool.  Then it went downhill, got home ILL. 

Woke up Saturday ILL.  Was due to go to Barnet game, decided to rest until it was time to leave, thus missing my normal pre-match ritual of a SnG on Stars.  Went to game was quite emotional.  Got home thus missing post match ritual of several SnGs on Stars.  ILL

Sunday Morning ILL, dragged myself over to the Rec for 2nd half of Pub teams 2-1 loss to FC D+B.  Went up mates to play in informal Blonde Tourney Deviltrout's Jacks held up against my AK sooooooooooottted.  Home then pub to greet the arrival from OZ of my poker mentor Lord Bob Ron.

Monday, ILL got sent home from work, spent afternoon in bed woke and decided I could handle Cubs, get there and got even worse!!.

Tuesday bettter get sent to Milton Keynes to swap a PC round with help from "IT Support" in Germany.  Spent three hours there and achieved nothing.  Went home had a TT match played like an imbecile. 

Today realise it's been a week since I did anything whoops.

So tonight is free of illness TT and cubs or pool, soo I will endeavour to finish it completely and update in parts tomorrow providing I don't get sent back to MK.  There are some things that could scupper this.

1 I get bored and go down the pub.
2 My mates get bored and get me down the pub.
3 My ex gets bored and asks me nicely if I want to go down the pub.
4 Neighbours need a stunt double.

To be honest I was going to let it slide but as you asked so nicely I will finish it.

[Scottish Dave]

Good man, looking forward to reading the remainder mate.

I’m not very good at sleeping in so I was downstairs in the bar by 11:30 after a couple of nurofen to try and cure my rather monster headache.  Armed with my book, the Mighty Walzer by Howard Jacobson about a kid who discovers he’s a bit useful at the sport of kings, I order my orange juice and settle into a morning fag and how Jacobson conquered the Greater Manchester Table Tennis league. 

I have no idea how long it was between each person came down but the first person to join me was Ironside resplendent in his Southampton FC fleece.  Gradaully we were joined by Heid and a rather rough looking Dusk Till Dawn Brothers Chubbs and Rob.  Normal blonde service resumed with spirits high already and conversations recounting the previous nights exploits.  We had a very friendly bar maid who was extremely helpful and seemed to have caught the attention of a certain male blondite who gave us a lesson in how not too impress the opposite sex;

“Will you marry me?”

“Sorry I’m engaged, besides I’d have thought you’ have four or five on the go”

“I do, just fancied another one”

Exit barmaid stage left.

As the afternoon went on more and more Blondeites resurfaced including Tikay Robert HM and probably a few others that my memory fails at the moment.  Rather unpredictably at some point Rob actually paid me what seemed like a genuine compliment “you’re an alright guy Mr F” followed by the utterly predictable put down “but you need a coat that doesn’t look like you’ve ripped up the carpet”!

Kev came down with his friend from the night before the immaculately dressed Bongo.  Bongo was still in the same clothes as the night before after Kev heard he was going to sleep in his car and offered him somewhere to “sleep”.  Bongo insisted that he’d had a shower, so I don’t know what Kev did to the young man but it must have been startling as his hair certainly had a “shocked” look.

wow i thought i had left it at the casino the night before and didnt pick it up till the early hours of monday morning

With the arrival of each new Blondite came a question as to the whereabouts of the Scots boys and the answer that they were watching Celtic lose to the mighty Clyde.

AN interesting conversation then occurred between Mr Yong and myself.  Noticing my   book he announced that he’d played for England, knowing he was bluffing me I just played along trying to let him spin a yarn that I could shoot down.  He gave some names that I’d never heard of, (as well as playing I spend a lot of time on some TT websites the only site I visit more is Blonde) so I asked if he played with Paul Drinkhall (current European Under 15 champion) knowing that he hadn’t.  He told me yes and I told him he couldn’t have with a very smug look on my face.  He told me he misheard me and thought I meant O’Driscoll.  Then came a bit of a twist, he rattled off various very credible names from the England Table Tennis Scene and had me doubting my initial judgement.  Was he telling the truth?  Is he actually any good?  Well I don’t know but if he ever does fancy a game I sure I can accommodate him.

Celtic were still losing and despite many many attempts from Ironside the Scots boys were out of contact.  The afternoon had raced by and it was time to get to the casino for the much anticipated Pub Quiz. 

I made my way over to the Broadway with Heid and her niece Sarah.  She really is wonderful, funny warm intelligent and always has something nice to say.  It was an absolute pleasure to spend a large part of the weekend with such an amazing woman.  You can see where her niece gets it from. 

Got to the casino and mingled a bit.  I was met with many a “how’s the head Mr F” to which the normal reply was a smug “fine thanks”.  Said hi to Snoppy who came in with his brother.  Found two thirds of my team Dave and Mel at the three card poker table and told them we were starting and got prime position with Skippy by the fire.  Got the first set of questions and realised this was not going to be an easy afternoon quiz. 

Dave and Skip got bored by about round three and sloped off to try their luck at the gaming tables.  Leaving Mel and I to fend for ourselves.  Luckily Ginger came along to help.  Struggled through the whole thing with my only real moment being the question of Eskimo Rolls in the sports round.  Being a BCU 1 Star myself this was easy to answer and showed that the five years spent messing about on the Marlow stretch of the Thames was definitely worth it.  The only other point of any interest was helping Scots Dave.  Having a conversation about our mutual friend Samantha Morton under the nose of Tikay trying to sniff out any cheating was particularly enjoyable.  Unfortunately despite the girls massive intellect and getting answers out of Tighty we still managed to come last!

Managed to get some food this time and spent the time wisely getting information from Jane about Student loans for mature students.  She was really helpful and told me what I need to do and when to do it.  Realise now it’s all very well getting the advice but it really is better to act on it!
