Highlights
Our 25th year
of lad's weekends !
Having realised that he needs food more frequently than the
others, Pete arrives armed with 37 bananas and 10kg of nuts
Despite living closer to Cardiff than anyone, Nigel
arrives 2 hours after everyone else
Steve looks worried when he goes to his room he will be
sharing with Nigel and finds..a double bed..
One of the best museums we have been to (Museum of Wales) has only
about 8 visitors !
The hottest weekend of the year so far
Having found the cheapest curry we have had (outside Bradford) on
Friday night, we find an even cheaper on on Saturday night
We pick the one day to spend in Cardiff Bay when Cardiff city are
playing a crucial football match..and lose !
Despite taking Pete up on his offer to drop David part way home, all
the trains turn out to be cancelled and it takes him 9 hours to get to
Bradford !
Quotes
Pete (in Wetherspoons) - "Well..this looks
like a good place for breakfast.."
David - "Apart from.. we are staying in a B&B ! "
Pete - "Oh yes !"
Steve - "Isn't it true that weeds don't grow on raised beds ?"
Pete (to Nigel) - "So how much maintenance do solar roofing
panels need..?"
Nigel - "Not much - you just need to go up on the roof and scrub them once a
fortnight"
Pete - "I wouldn't fancy that"
Nigel - "I was joking actually !"
Pete (to the hotel owner) - "I have parked my car just around
the corner"
Hotel owner - "No you REALLY don't want to park it there !"
Steve (on his GPS looking for Pubs) - "Do you think that
Wow and Cabaret
Casablanca are traditional real ale pubs.. ?"
