Umbrella Man Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Jackanory Time Said i'd stick something on so here it is. Never a good start to a Saturday with the alarm going off at 6.30am but if your gonna get in amongst it it need's to be done. Jumped on the 7.35am out of gods country to meet up with Mr B and Mr P AND Mrs P we will call them Peter and Jackie for now at Stratford,then jumping on the train for 1 stop to Stratford International. After Mr B was accused of fraud we got on the 8.49am train to Ashford where the first beer of the day was cracked open (a cheeky beer from peru) nice .Then we had to change again for the onwards journey to Eastbourne,was a pain but gave us a chance to have a german white beer and a chance to waffle on about nothing. Arrived in Eastbourne at 10.39am gave us 21 mins to get to the front and find the pub we planned to hit,Mr and Mrs P go shopping . Half way to the front myself and Mr B pass The Terminus and it's open not even discussed wether to enter or not we in 2 Guinness please mate neary £4 a hit London prices liberties. After a swifty we decide to move on to the front as we get there to our left is a great big dirty sign BELGIUM BEER HERE. Were in what ya got ? I no speak good English manage to get a menu this lot are doing a bucket of Belguim beer(5 bottles) for £16 beautiful order a bucket MR B goes for a pot of mussles moi baby squid fried in chilli ,start to get involved and Mr and Mrs P turn up order there munchies manage to crash through these in no time at all , Is that all anything else Sir ? Another bucket Doris more white beers less of the raspberry stuff. smash them out and time to move on to The Crown And Anchor looks like the only pub on the sea front which is a shame . Two minutes later we find it, a few people in there watching West Ham get ripped to bit's by Swansea as the round is getting brought Mr Finni decides to turn up 3 hours late(minge bag) in good spirit's. Is now pushing 2pm 2 rounds later we decide to get a cab up to the ground . As we fall out the cab all ready to have it we are informed by the stewards that the team have not turned up (last time i remember this happening was at Chertsey about 97) if i was you lot i'd have a beer !!! Top advice my lord enter a full club house followed by a couple of Essex Essex the natives didn't too impressed oh well next the coach turned up with an influx of blue and white into the bar all with faces like a smacked asses. Game kicked off at 3.15pm i still managed to miss the start as you do did ok 1st half went in 1-0 down .2nd have got a pen 1-1 ended up losing 2-1 was unlucky to lose. Back in the bar after the game discuss getting the 6.09pm back home debated getting the 5.09pm but the late kick off put paid to that,we'll have a quickie then shoot a couple of beer's later what's the time ? 6.20pm we will get the 7.09pm deffo what's the time 7.05pm missed that one have to get the 8.09 deal. Jump a cab into town now with one of the brother's grim G (the good looking one and his Doris obviously having a dirty weekend) to The Duke Of Devonshire have a quickie then Mr B orders an all day breakfast ? Then people follow suit ordering food. Then we have a new arrival a fella called Jules(Finni's mate ) Think we talked him into going Bath next week , The 8.09pm is looking dodgy but Mr and Mrs P make a break for it and leave us to it. Time to move on me and Mr B decide to get the 9.09pm but have half hour to spare head to the boozer next to the station The Gildredge locals say it's fithly and full of deadbeat's perfect as we get near there is another pub across the road called London And County looks better with bouncers on the door gotta try ya luck, Evening , hello fella No Hats why ? it's passed 7pm Finni and Jules breeze in followed by Mr B no football tops, it's not a football top,What is it then ? It's a sailing top ,ok mate in you go pure gold hahahaha. Stayed in there till 9.02 discussing the death of Neil Armstrong ended up on the 9.09pm out of Eastbourne,then the bordom kicks in with no beer so you start to text all and sundry hahaha sorry about that people . Anyways arrived back at 00.30am after leaving at 7.35am 17 hours after setting out to to see the boys was it worth it ? Of course it was got a whole week off before i do it again. Next week all aboard the 6.05am to Bath You know you want it COYB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
