University Reunion*

*This post contains numerous "In Jokes" so this will only be entertaining to the 10 people who attended. Apologies to anybody else reading.

This weekend I had the pleasure of hosting a reunion for 10 of my closest friends from university. The weekend involved a great deal of intoxicated tomfoolery and I'd like to think a good time was had by all. The reunion featured a pub crawl around the historic market town of Wymondham and an outing to Norwich's 2nd biggest cess pit the Waterfront. My guests had travelled from various locations throughout England and I appreciated the time and effort spent by them all to make it down.

Matt showed true commitment to the cause by clamping hold of the flapping wing mirror of his Ford Fiesta all the way from Manchester to Birmingham. This act was made all the more impressive by performing it gloveless at 70mph on the coldest day on record since 1993. I expected Lance to grace Norfolk with his usual sartorial elegance, and he did not disappoint. His outfit, loosely based on an anorexic 80's Dock worker, went down such a storm in Norwich that he attracted the attention of no less than 3 of the city's finest young autograph hunting females. Lance was held in slightly less esteem by the reunion party when the whole house was woken by his tropical temperatures gag. Before falling asleep on Friday night he thought it would be amusing to crank the thermostat up as high as it would possibly go. Rob came off worst as he received 3rd Degree burns after falling asleep against a radiator. Paul should never be left in charge of kitty management again after thinking a double vodka lemonade with vodka chaser constituted a sensible round. After tripping in Waterfront and hitting the floor Nick proceeded to suffer a nosebleed. He popped into the toilet to grab a tissue and emerged an Egyptian Mummy. Much to the amusement of all except the bouncers. Tommy impressed us by proving he could actually lift a car and Iain depressed us by going on holiday to Tunisia half way through. When Joe wasn't doing late night hovering he was busy insulting anyone without a university education. And finally Tom failed to surprise anybody after expressing his desire to travel south east Asia with nothing but a 12V car battery and a set a jump leads.
