Took me 7 days to get home from Edinburgh ....

Train up to Inverkeithing last Friday (25th) with ma pal from Newcastle, Emma, who works at GNER and got us free first class tickets. nice.

2 bottles of wine between us on the way up. I managed to snap a corkscrew and spill wine all over me.

Really enjoyed it and seemed to flow well. cant remember too much. That Geordie barmaid has to stop giving me free drinks like !

Finished there at 11:30 and headed down to Edinburgh to go to a techno night called Dogma to see The Horrorist. Cheers to Ross for the lift !

Dogma
Claton Studio's, Edinburgh, Scotland

The Horrorist played for the last 45 minutes. Once again, an excellent performance. That's 3 times I've saw The Horrorist and its one of the most energetic live shows I've ever saw. Accompanied by Festes Weiss this was a mixture of techno, electro & hardcore and mad vocals, which blue the technoheads of Dogma away !

I was on the stage with him going nuts, heh. He is also Temper Tantrum & DJ Skinhead and I was pleading with him to play Extreme Terror at the end ! Flesh Is The Fever rocked the place as expected, then he done a remix of F!ck Hostile !! Place went nuts !! Then done about 2 or 3 other faster gabba stuff. Was amusing seeing the technoheads trying to dance to it but it went down a storm ! Check out the video on http://www.thingstocome.com/ !

Pedigree Scum

After this, it was free party time in a quarry in Edinburgh. It was light by the time we got there and was in full swing. Around 200 people jumping around. Climbed up this mad hill and fell back down it thru loasda nettles and rocks, ha.

I played just over an hour of techno (!), first time I've played a set like that and enjoyed it. Played a speedcore record at the end tho, ha.

Back to ma mates flat around 7am. Crashed oot.

Saturday - Night out in Edinburgh with Sean & Gareth Beans. Whilst the girls, Jo, Stef, Lynne & Debbie went out with themselves and we arranged to meet up with them later, but they couldn't get in the club and one of us couldn't, so we just stayed as we were. went to a RnB club. Shite music, amazing totty. Had a good laugh sitting on the balcony, then 3 of my lapdancing pals came in, Cat, Vicky & another whose name I forget.

Left there at 3. Been told I was plying football with some bread in a shop?! cant remember nowt about that.

Fell asleep on a chair in a corridor.

Herriot Wart University Graduation Ball
The Carlton Hotel, Edinburgh , Scotland

Sunday - Went to my pals, Lawnmowers graduation ball in a posh hotel in Edinburgh, along with 6 of her friends all in posh frocks, heh, nice. I was kitted out in full Highland Dress, kilt, mad sporen & that. Canny nice posh meal, then a Kayley or something. This band playing accordions and everyone doing the mad Scottish dances. I stood on about eleventeen peoples feet. I asked the band to play the Birdie song and they didn't seem to impressed.

The welfare officer from the Uni the party was for was sitting on our table. About 55 or summick and I had her downing aftershocks, heh. The she started calling her husband sour face & other not very nice things. oops.

A disco followed that, and I asked the DJ also to play the birdie song. had a bit bop and eventually the Birdie Song came on but I had to dash to the bog to be sick, bahh.

I came back down and everyone had gone coz one of the lasses had collapsed. Bahh.

Lawnmower & Bonny Prince Smurfy

The table of chicks I was sitting with, heh.
.

Went back to some mad guys house who had a metal bucket full of lollypops. Nice.

Back to Lawnmower's pals. Fell asleep on the settee and got woken up around 9am by a lass building a wardrobe in the front room !

Me fingers are sore typing all this and I've got 5 more days to go.

What day is this now? Oh aye, Monday. Took ma kilt back to the shop and the guy let me keep the socks, great.

Headed down to Boony's, showered etc. Few glasses of cider with the Queen of the cider Princess, Wee Jo, then headed back up the Toon to meet Funsize Stef. What a funny character she is ! About 5ft 2 or something.

Met Hardcore Ray and his chick Lynne and Ray's newly married sister & husband in Witherspoons. Me & Stef had a bottle of wine, cant remember if we went somewhere else, then us two headed of clubbing to a club called Subway. Just your usual charty pop cheese club. Saw Jimmy D in there and he bought us drinks all night. I told him we had just got engaged so he went and told the DJ to announce it and we got a free bottle of champagne, heh.

Good bop and breakdance about. Stef put her bag in the DJ box and went to get it and some guy was passing it to her then taking it away, so she clouted him in the side of the head ! Turns out he was the manager so he booted us oot.

I saw a restaurant was open till 4am so we went in there for a munch and another bottle of wine. On the way out some guys couldn't get in and Stef was laughing at one of them and this big black lass was saying "that's my man, that's my man" and Stef said "I don't care if its your man, he's wearing a glowstick" ! haha, I had to drag her away. before she starting lamping her ! Loonpipe !

Back to Boons to crash out.

Tuesday - Went to Stef's to get some stuff and then went back up to Edinburgh. Went for dinner, another bottle of wine, couple of pubs then went to get the keys for Wee Jo's flat as Stef was going there to cut Jo's ma's hair. On the way we get stopped by this wife who says "are you from Scotland" I said I was from Newcastle and asked if she could ask us a few questions. I expected it to be about the Scottish Parliament or something. She pullls out a microphone and a tape recorder with Reporting Scotland on or something and starts asking our views on sex before marriage ! If I would encourage my kids to wait, what's the benefits of not waiting and loads of other pish. I said its best not to wait so you can get plenty of practice in so you can please your husband/wife.

Tuesday evening arrives, and I head up the Toon with Mr Boon & another chick pal Debz. Spend the evening downing aftershocks, sambuca, absinthe and various vodka cocktails. Wee Jo finishes work and more shots are downed, then back to Jo's to pass out.

Wednesday and still no hangover ! Laze about and its Debz turn to come out with me. Spend most of the night in a pub called Maggie Dicksons I think. I discover a rather nice looking cocktail menu with death cocktails with names like Afterlife, Undertaker, Grim Reaper, Tombstone, Noose and other things to do with death on the menu. We had about 11 shots, absinthe & aftershock, all 3 aftershocks & absinthe, sambuca & aftershock, lots of combinations. The manager thinks we are great and give us some T-shirts. Sweet! We befriended a German couple and had them downing a few aftershocks aswell. Debz started hoying up everywhere so I had to take her home, ha.

Thursday - Still no hangover. Everyone was feeling rough and I had no one to go out with, so I went up the toon bymself around 5:30. Had a few beers in a student pub reading Scottish newspapers. They are so anti-English ! MC G came out for a couple of beers and a Dutch lass came in and sat next to us. Got talking to her whilst watching the Greece v Portugal match. She left when it finished then The G'ster had to leave aswell so I decided to stay in Edinburgh and go around by meself. Went to a few pubs, befriended some Irish guys and had some absinthe and various vodka cocktails. Not entirely sure where I went ! Ended up back at Boony's after 1 wearing a cap and carrying a copy of Jordans autobiography book !??!

Friday - STILL NO HANGOVER, bahh. Just aswell as I had to be at work at 7pm for weekend nightshift.

Went and met Minature Stef for lunch then got the train home, first class.

Canny eventfull week like !!
