BOBBY, MADAM, DOM, BIG GIRL AND MATTCHU WAITING FOR TRAMPS...
DOM, EMMA, MARTINI, MADAM, MATTCHU, GAAAAAVIN AND BOBBY - CHOO CHOO
THE LOVELY PRINCESS STEPHANIE WITH HER CONSORTS A LA TRENDZ
WingsHowdle do gentle web folk. Well plenty to say so get comfy at the back. Steve being over was a belter - long overdue as per but started in Chez Gayz (thanks for the comments on the flat pics btw) eating 16 inch chicken and jalepeno pizzas in a record 15 minutes and still managed get ready and in a cab in time.Popped to the regent theatre of all places due to Princess having managed to bag us some seats for 'Starlight Express' from his friend (director/star/choreographer no less) Mike (I seem to recall through the haze of cocktails and shooters) pictured bottom left. Needless to say it wasn't my kind of thing to be honest - anything Andrew Lloyd Webber has me shaking in my golashes - but the stunts and some of the tricks were pretty good as well as a lot of the singing and Mikes 'Electra' character stole the show from the whiney assed lead without a doubt. Also a first for me to wear 3-D glasses for anything - pretty surreal to be honest. My review? Imagine watching Thomas the Tank on a dangerous cocktail of rohypnol, gold label and heroin and you're halfway there.
Rest of the night was spent knocking back more booze, dancing wildly with Martini, Madam, Dom and Bobby and actually managing to last the night!!!! Princess snuck out the following morning and despite his tempting offer of coffee and muffins up hanley I had to decline due to some soft twat (me) agreeing to do 4 hours overtime that sunday at work.
Also managed to get a weekend in Manchester just gone. It was Dom's unofficial birthday party so seven of us and one desserter (Gaaaaavin, under the thumb bless) headed off to Canal St for my second visit. I'm sorry to say it was a bit flat. Personally it seems to be one of those places you either have to be a mincing smiling coke head or a gurnng bouncing pill popper to enjoy. Sensibly I am neither of these. So after watching most of the others climb the walls (and their faces) me, Bobby and Mattchu decided to do the best most responible thing imaginable.
We ate McTuckys chicken.
Yes, boring as it may be we ended up filling our faces on an 8 piece and talking to some random gals from the local area who were off to a breakfast bar. Is it just me or have I become old? I mean I wouldn't mind so much if I'd turned into my mother - at least I'd carry on bopping (as she has proved so many times). But Essential cost £10 to get in and all it had was indecipherable music downstairs (is this the same song for three hours kinda thing) or really camp pap upstairs (Girls Aloud and Take That). Same problem as Nightingales in Brum really. Although we did get to see Miss Lunt behind the bar and there was no danger of running (a knife) into Margo or Dicky so there were some good points.
However after spending £20 on bus tickets we never ended up using, learning how to stop traffic in the road off Rob, watching some vagrant in nothing but a pea green coat and a smile in the bus station, and trying to guess what Dom was on only to find out it was red bull he was hopped up on, we embarked upon a 5am Hackny Carriage ride home (£70 - bargain) to which I went to bed nearly in tears I was so tired. I've come to the conclusion that so far, away from Stoke, I only enjoy Blackpool (depressing in itself really) so roll on STF06!
In other news it seems EVERYBODY is trying to get away from Stoke. Vinca is moving from across the road to Manchester with James in two months, Hayley-Jane goes to Australia on a GAP year to work as of thursday night and David Lane moves to Swindon in five weeks with a new jobby. After seeing Miss Lunt and Steve go and gagging to spend WAY longer out in Gran Canaria I got thinking as to why I'm stuck in this God forsaken city. Until I realised - I actually really like it here. Yeah the night life blows, the weathers crap, and the shopping is shit BUT I've got my dream pad with the dream guy (bleurgh, I know), most of my family here and my mates are never too far away (OK so Hayley is taking the piss) and my next holiday won't take forever. So yeah, I actually don't mind being stuck here. As long as I'm stuck happy :)
And on that sentimental schmack, I'll bid thee fair night
