Disappointment

I had been looking forward to Friday night. After a crazy week at work the chance to get out and let (whats left of) my hair down loomed large and it should have been a crackin night. But it wasn't and I'm not sure why. All the factors for a good night were there:

The lads? Check. The venues? Check. The availability of alcholic beverages? Check. Money in pocket? Check. But it just didn't click together. I think the main reason for the washout was being incredibily tired. As anyone for knows can tell, the only time i really get in a "mood" is when I'm tired and this week I'd burnt the candle at both ends a bit too much and I could tell. (You know its bad when you're out and you realise you'd prefer to be in bed asleep rather than out looking at the ladies dancing). Also the beverages were having zero affect. Not just from an alcholic content point of view but also the desire to have a drink. Half way thru my 2nd lager I realised I wasn't actualy enjoying it at all and that feeling was compounded when the next pint (the first in the Academy) was rank- I don't think the tap pipes had been cleaned. I couldn't manage more than about a third of it and just left it.

In the end I gave in to the tiredness, tired of fighting it, and left early at about 1:30am. I don't think the others lasted much longer. Rob agrees. It just wasn't right- shame.

a quick tally then for what its worth:
1 pint Carlsberg
1 pint Guinness
1 pint Carling
1/3 pint Rank Carling
4 vodka and coke
3 double vodka and coke
1 pint water (very important)


And a RGIS to boot:
