When women wed & celebrate
No wonder we couldn't find it at first but what looked like a piece of derelict land with a few cars was actually where to park for the reception of Kerry's work friend's wedding.
The social club was something I'd expected to see on a bad housing estate with signage hand painted on a brickwall. Inside matched the low expectations with pool tables, a dart board and West Ham balloons everywhere?! The lucky lady hitched herself up with another lucky lady who was in the Army. Lovely couple and all the best to them. Like us everyone who'd been invited were expecting to see the promised Trannie DJ but instead it was a camp looking guy in an England shirt. He mixed the normal wedding disco and sung himself to a karaoke machine.
Already propping up the bar was Chris, husband of Alex, Kerry's friend from work. He's an ex-Army man himself and has tons of stories to make any type of situation fun. Some scary gangster encounters was told that night as well as the punishment he's been given whilst serving. Drinks were really cheap as well as the hire of the place we'd noticed. Apparently, its £60 for non-members and £12 for members. Membership was £7!
Nothing much to report on Saturday activities. Tried to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2 but realised everyone else had the same idea with the queues stretching around the building. Ended up hiring a DVD and game. We'd seen the trailer of The Weather Man somewhere and liked the running joke of fast food being chucked at the Nic Cage. We should have saw the signs of a bad choice with Nic Cage thinking to himself in the mirror with self obsessed-analysis. Michael Caine popped up for an appearance trying to pull off an American accent and failing (no surprise). Overall, the film turned out to be a yawn fest and didn't even stir a giggle. Avoid!
Psychonauts in comparison was a breath of fresh air with a originality and excellent, funny scripting. By Sunday night though I was getting bored of the average platforming basis and too frequent loading screens.
Sunday was a trip to the posh garden centre to colour our wood-lice, snail infested land. More hanging baskets to brighten the place up. Nearly convinced Kerry to buy a miniture wheel barrow with potted plants for the front yard but there was no sign of a small donkey with side sandle baskets of flowers.
Big Brother interest is waning but still sparking interest. My new hate figure is Jayne. As well as being one half short of a Viz character, she's certainly knows how to wind me up.
