Forest person and his jolly gentlemen

Last weekend myself and Mat trundled up the motorway to Nottingham to pay Chris and Pete a visit. Overall it was great weekend, apart from the journey up which took the best part of three hours, mainly due to leaving at 4pm when everyone else decided to do the same thing.

Friday night consisted of several bars, including the oldest pub in England/UK/the world/the universe depending on who you talk to, rather cool as it was partially in a cave. Some biker/rock bar (well, that's the best way I can describe it) the cookie club, which had an 80s and a 90s room :D and then finally, some random bar with a strange bearded barman - somewhat of a caracter.

Saturday during the day was nicely chilled, with a pub lunch in the city, and ended up watching football and shopping in the afternoon, I had a bit of a fuzzy head from the previous night... The evening wasn't as mad as the night before, consisting of another pub in a cave, this time rather more damp and clammy, oh and the bartender took offence to soft drink orders. There were several other places too, but the one that stands out was "georges" where the landlady took to deciding on our drinks for us... who are we to argue. Ended up in some club that I'm not entirely sure how to classify, maybe it had an indie influence, but I'm sure I heard some Daft Punk.

Oh, and the blog title comes from me forgetting Robin Hood's name and saying "erm, forest person" instead, which it was decided sounded like someone who couldn't get the rights to real Robin Hood, and so had to be suitably generic to avoid lawsuits.

Overall a good weekend :)

Sunday gave a chance to smirk at my colleague and his witch constume, which was certainly "interesting".

On Monday I got my car back, which now smells new again due to all the paint, and looks extremely shiny :D

Oh and Burt's tip of the week:

Never do bad impressions of Ben off short circuit while in an Indian restaurant.
