Day 1 - Sevens heats up

Rich and the Smudgers arrived yesterday lunchtime and we broke the news to them that they don't need clothes for the 7s cause we've sorted out costumes for them.



Richard in LKF last night

Unfortunately the plastic nunchucks were an option that our far too sensible organiser didn't order. Shame really as I was looking forward to having them taken off us at the gate.

Down LKF yesterday evening, ending in Carnage at midnight, I got predictably smashed. Arriving home (Bubble was already in bed having cut herself off at 3 frozen margs) I got the GT4 out on the BIG screen and proceeded to give myself a demonstration of a) (very) drunk driving and b) how much harder GT4 is than GT3. Smudge and Rich turned up about 15 minutes after me, and Rich proceeded to pass out on the couch. I went to bed at 1.30, only to be woken by Bubble who insisted that I show Richard where the 3rd toilet was "why?" I asked. "Because he's pissing on the balcony" she answered.

I get the feeling that thiscould be a stand-out sevens.
