Meeting in the Hogshead around 3.00pm, after Villa vs Man U Game.
The day started with the some of the Chaps watching Villa play Manure (ko 12.30pm). Although the game provided better fare than the previous encounter against B-lose, the result was still a disappointing 1-0 defeat.
After the match Dave, Simbers and Chap sought solstice in the Hogshead for a relaxing start to the afternoon & evening's entertainment. We were quickly joined by Bondbez, who after his exploits with Edonkey down loading has now gained himself a peerage and will from now be known as Lord Bond of Chelmsley!!!. The beer (Hook Norton) was flowing quite nicely as the chaps settled down for some relaxing conversation, however this was rudely interrupted by about ten or so Manc fans who had got lost on their way home to London!!!. They kept repeating one boring bloody song about Scousers and Ice Cream vans almost to the point when it looked like Simbers might take them on single handed!!!!.
Sanity prevailed when they realized that they would not be getting anymore ale and decided to find some other unsuspecting venue to vent their obnoxious spleens. The Chaps at this point resumed their tranquil afternoons conversations interspersed with more frothing ale and some decent food. We were joined by Nige, Phil, Ted, Tone & Tone's mate Dave as the day progressed with some more interesting topics from Lord Bond about imagining the Chaps on the job - his Lordship has certainly got an active imagination !!!!.
After a few more beers the Chaps left for the Old Joint Stock, where His Lordship and Chap provided Tone with some agony uncle counselling !!,not sure if this did any good but it passed the time away whilst necking a few pints. We were joined in the OJS by Maxine, Aimee & a couple of their mates, who managed to persuade us to go to a rock pub called the Gallows (formerly Eddies No7 & Bizzy Lizzies). Not the ideal Chap venue nowadays and the beer was shite. However, their was some reasonable entertainment from his Lordship with the usual display of head banging.
Tone and his mate Dave left for Zanzibar, but not been able to face anymore shite beer, Lordship, Ted and Chap headed for the Adam and Eve for some decent live music and reasonably ale. Steve sipped a pint and then fell asleep at the bar, a taxi was ordered, but promptly cancelled when the rest of the Chaps & Chapesses arrived at the A & E - however, his Lordship did the usual runner soon after.
Slowly the group dwindled, Phil, Simbers, Max & her mate disappeared - Chap and Ted decided to head for Sharma's for a ruby, leaving Dave and Nige to their own devices (Pink Lizardry and all that - what a band !!)
Decent curry as per usual from S's and then time for ZZZzzzzzzd. !!!!
