WTC Christmas Do at the Tall Ships


In Attendance: SS, GB, J, BBB and Sniffer
Weather: Coldest night of the year - fecking freezing

So this years Christmas do happened at the Tall ships near Gloucester Docks. Well, not so much a Christmas do as we went to a different pub for a change. BBB’s mate Craig (not that one - another one) was playing the guitar and having a bit of a sing song. There was some pool played, a drunken Chef with a stammer (not Dozzer - another one) and some beer quaffed.

Anyway from this dive of a pub - which was actually very entertaining, we huddled through the frozen wastelands of Gloucester to Cafe Rene - a warm little late night boozer which incidentally, is what we became when we got there. (Except for Jugs who became a warm big-eared boozer.


After a beer or so in there it was a Taxi to McDonald’s. However - tosser of a Taxi driver wouldn’t allow food in the cab - so he lost a fare from McDonald’s all around the houses to drop us all off. Instead we walked through the drive-in (always a pleasure never a chore) and then the heroic Hutch picked us up in his cab by reversing into the drive through.

All back to Golfys house to eat said burgers (good tip - cheeseburgers 99p bargain!!), piss about with those women on late night TV and eat all his Quality Street..... Quality!!

The return of the Royal Oak


In Attendance: J, SS, GB, BBB, LP
Weather: Reasonably Cold

For the first time in an age we went back to the Royal Oak. Some improvements here as a New landlord in in situ. Food was a bargain. Beer was passable. Conversation was excellent as always.

Pikey Brown showed up and regaled us with tales of his forthcoming trip to Butlins in Skegness. Oooo how the other half live ;-)
