Where's his fag?
Still quite funny.
Ells gives up trying to climb the skate ramp after cutting herself to shreds - the wounds of which weren't seriously considered until the morning after.
..his eyes lit up like a... well,
like a mole on a skate ramp.
Yep... still funny.
JT manages to restrain himself from the 'peg on head' fashion.
Bill shows his disgust at Jim...
shouldn't have sat down-wind of him.
Starting off in Ellie's garden, Ritch keeps himself entertained with a container full of clothes pegs.
..and then we reached the time that a bowl of clothes pegs and a curry or twelve were no longer classed as satisfactory entertainment. So, on to the pubs... we started at The Crescent on Campion Street. A charmin' place but we didn't take any pics... next was The Greyhound on the so-called Derby Mile.
Onto the wonders of Derby City Centre now, and our favourite drinking hole, The Blue Dog. It's got such a small entrance you'd probably walk straight past it... yet it's so big on the inside that it actually has a half-pipe in the garden!
So, from the Island we headed round to Brick Lane to fill up on kebabs at Benny's (highly recommended - they're on Brick Lane). And then back to the Chadd residence where Gary passed out, JT fell out of bed... lengthways and Amy woke up with her head in the bin... she wasn't being sick or anything... she just woke up... with her head in the bin!
The fun never stops.
Can someone take 'im down a peg or two?
Now we all know that Moley's vertically challenged... but there's no BAR STOOL here.
Gaz does what Gaz's do best.
Gary pulls early.
Meanwhile Moley... pulls early.
A quick trip down the road and we end up in the Friary beer garden.
The crew: Andy, Emma (eyes closed), Ells & JT (behind Emma), Jim, Bill (talking to Ritch), Ritch (talking to Bill), Amy (hiding on Ritch), Gary (at the bar) and Moley (behind camera). Not the best picture, really.
Mole and Bill do a bit of air-skating... not recommended while on a bar crawl.
Is Jim air-skating or checking the
pubs security systems?
Is Jim going arse over elbow or doing a few push-ups before the next pint?
Amy, Ells, Ritch, Emma, Jim, Bill and Mole.
Guess which one is about to fart...
At this point Gary's just climbed onto the ramp,
and Ritch has just fallen off the back.
In answer to the farting question...
Unfortunately, this was before the licensing laws changed, and the Blue Dog had to close at eleven..Luckily, we knew of a place which had a one a.m. license that served cocktails and was free entry... The Island, at the top of town.
Lucky for Ritch, this pub has
padded sofas to fall onto.
"Hey Moley, how badly did Rovers lose this week?"
Gary and Ritch help Moley in
an attempt to touch the ceiling.
Amy and Emma with a half-yard: like hyenas protecting their dead rabbits.
Missed that joke.
What is it with that boy and licking people whilst drunk? I guess Ells is waiting for her turn.
Surprisingly still funny.
Excellent.
Bill cunningly hides his camera phone out of sight as Emma walks by...
Andy waits for his turn with Gary. What would JT say about Ells cuddling up to young Mr Fry?...
..OK, so JT's not particularly fussed about Ells getting cosy with the lads.
Far too similar to be just in-laws...
Jim does his best to stay level-headed... even though the room just rotated 45 degrees.
I think this is the point where Moley had a fag and sang some karaoke. (Personal joke)
The lads do Derby. (Gaz... put it away!)
That must be strong stuff...
she's grown another arm!
..Because we all wanted to
see Gary's left nipple.
Can you really dance like this to Bon Jovi and Reef?
Moley gets taken for another ride.
That would be really impressive if he'd downed the lot... but it was empty when the girls gave it to him. Like I said, hyenas with rabbits, those two.
I've never seen the girls spend so long
on one drink!
Ritch pulls of one of the worst shots in pool history.
The joys of camera phones.
Jim, Bill, Ritch, Amy, Em and Mole. All legless.
It's one of those things that just can't be explained. The words 'Cocktail Jugs' aren't funny... unless you put that face next to them.
Getting funnier again!
After three years of Derby life, the MThreeW crew finally get the petrol together to head north and join Ells on her leaving university piss-up. Congrats to Ells on finishing her course on popular music, from Amy, Andy, Bill, Emma, Gary, Jim, JT, Mole and Ritch - possibly the largest MThreeW outing... ever.!
The night started at the student digs where we opted for cheap drinks and a curry. Then we headed into the city... don't remember what happened after that!
