Weekend of booze...

For the first time in quite a while I had a boozy weekend. First up was a night out in town as Jo's sister Michelle was visiting from Sydney. It wasn't a major night but we saw a half decent covers band in the Empire Tavern, which is much more like my kind of bar than the usual ones in the viaduct.

After a short recovery period it was on to the 2nd night out - the Greenhithe FC fundraising quiz.

Prizes were bountiful (including $50 worth of Greenacres vouchers I'd managed to rustle up) and everyone was likely to walk away with a prize. Or so they said. Out of our team of 9 only one of us was a raffle prize winner - Rob's mum winning a duvet which Rob quickly bagsed.

Everyone chipped in with answers as we managed to achieve mid table mediocrity. It was a good night, and a surprisingly large number of people there, probably over 100. All of whom will have put good money in the kitty toward our end of season tour (piss up).

Most exciting part of the night for me was coming very close to winning a bottle of bourbon. The game was throwing dollar coins at said bottle with the winner being the closest one. I held the lead until right at the end when someone beat me by the Queen's nose.
