A quick drink with my sister and some friends from school (who I dont see enough ) in the pub turned into &#8220;a few pints of Stella, A few more Jack Daniels and a couple of Vodka Redbulls to go with them&#8221;, and a party back at mine!<\/p>\n<p>It started it off as a very VERY boring night, Everyone there was in a couple, except for me the &#8220;token&#8221; single of the group. So I sat there trying to look interested in the talk of Phil and Sarahs upcoming wedding, Dave and Stephs&#8217; house sale, and the domestic bliss of married life with the choice of which colour placemats to have on the dinner table, while trying to keep track of who was talking to who, As having 2 Sarahs and 2 Stephs in one group did lead to some confusion!<\/p>\n<p>BUT eventually the drink started flowing, as did the &#8220;Do you remeber&#8230;&#8221; stories from school and thinks picked up, They picked up to the point where no one wanted to go home so everyone piled into the non-driners cars and headed back to mine via the off-licence. The drinking continued, Dave was sick and then fell over, the rest of us dranks some more, my sister went home, Taxis were called and eventually ther was just me a Toby left to keep the pace going&#8230;and we did with some vigour it all accumalated to me and him doing handstands in my back garden at 2o&#8217;clock this morning, we both impressed ourselves, mainly because I hadn&#8217;t attempted to handstand since I dont know when, and we both managed to pull it off with out injuring ourselves in our pissed up state! Toby left shortly afterwards and I headed..room spinning&#8230;to bed.<\/p>\n<p>Woke up this morning feeling surprisingly clear headed, intill I saw the devastation in my front room, empty beer cans, Vodka bottles and glasses EVERYWHERE!! I couldn&#8217;t face it all then so I left it exactly where it was and headed off to work.<\/p>\n<p>Now I dont usually work Saturdays so I dont normally see Wolverhampton town centre on a Saturday afternoon as I can usually be found in Walsall of Birmingham, Imagine my surprise to see quite how RANDOM it has all become!<\/p>\n<p>Town was absolutly packed!! I was rushed off my feet all day, and as the day wore on the worse I started to feel and to make matters worse a group of 8 people in blue jump suit,s an air raid siren and a megaphone were walking up and down the street outside the shop giving away free milkshakes, just as I thought the noise couldn&#8217;t get any louder a gosple choir set up acroos the road with a preacher and started singing top of there voices while there leader was condeming anyone who came with in bellowing distance of them! I&#8217;m sure they were in competition with the air raid siren to see who could make the most noise I was glad when home time came!<br \/>So I went home tidied up and went to bed for an hour which made me feel a lot better, but unfortunatly means I cant sleep now.<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s Sturday night I have nowhere to go, and no one to see. I cant sleep and I have nothing to do. So you get to hear me complain about it&#8230;..I&#8217;m bored, I&#8217;m bored, I&#8217;m bored&#8230;..oh an hungry too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh ouch, What happened last night?
