| [al:The Week Never Starts Round Here] | |
| [00:09.17] | So that was the first big |
| [00:10.15] | Weekend of the summer |
| [00:10.73] | |
| [00:13.92] | Starts Thursday as usual |
| [00:14.84] | With the canteen quiz and again |
| [00:16.50] | No-one wins the big cash prize |
| [00:18.09] | |
| [00:19.38] | Later I do my sound Bloke routine |
| [00:20.85] | By approaching Gina's |
| [00:21.97] | New boyfriend to say |
| [00:22.85] | That he shouldn't feel that |
| [00:23.83] | There's any animosity between us |
| [00:24.98] | |
| [00:25.57] | Then I even go and make peace |
| [00:26.72] | With her Shouldn't have bothered |
| [00:29.60] | |
| [00:34.20] | Then on Friday night we |
| [00:35.08] | Went through to the Arches |
| [00:36.28] | |
| [00:46.27] | There was only one car going |
| [00:47.19] | So some of us had to get the train |
| [00:48.44] | |
| [00:49.32] | We got through quite late |
| [00:50.08] | |
| [00:50.91] | Then we went to a pub to take the gear |
| [00:52.35] | |
| [00:53.35] | There was no problems getting in |
| [00:54.42] | We saw some others waiting down |
| [00:55.40] | The front of the queue so |
| [00:56.42] | We skipped in |
| [00:56.86] | |
| [00:57.74] | It was a good night - everyone |
| [00:59.35] | Was nutted and I ended up |
| [01:00.53] | Dancing with some blonde girl |
| [01:01.45] | |
| [01:02.68] | I thought she had been |
| [01:03.50] | Quite pretty until last night when |
| [01:04.76] | Matthew informed me that she had |
| [01:05.83] | In fact been a pig |
| [01:06.87] | |
| [01:13.92] | When the club finished |
| [01:14.58] | We wandered the streets |
| [01:15.52] | For a while until we got to |
| [01:16.70] | This 24-hour cafe |
| [01:17.68] | |
| [01:18.68] | I didn't like the look of it |
| [01:19.81] | So we left and got a taxi |
| [01:20.88] | Back to Morag's flat |
| [01:21.44] | |
| [01:22.78] | I couldn't sleep so |
| [01:23.45] | |
| [01:24.29] | I sat about drinking someone else's |
| [01:25.36] | Strawberry tonic wine and tried |
| [01:26.69] | To keep everyone else up |
| [01:27.79] | |
| [01:43.61] | Then at ten o'clock in the morning |
| [01:44.80] | We went downstairs to |
| [01:45.56] | Buy some drink |
| [01:46.29] | |
| [01:46.83] | We had intended |
| [01:47.35] | To watch the football in the afternoon |
| [01:48.77] | But we'd passed out by then |
| [01:49.83] | And slept right through it |
| [01:50.98] | |
| [01:51.50] | Awaking to find that England |
| [01:52.44] | Had won two-nil |
| [01:53.17] | |
| [01:55.06] | Then we went to get the train |
| [01:56.22] | Home and had a few in the |
| [01:57.25] | Station bar |
| [01:57.58] | |
| [01:58.23] | We had some stuff left from |
| [01:59.20] | The previous night's supplies |
| [02:00.16] | So when we got home we decided |
| [02:02.54] | To go down to John's indie disco |
| [02:03.89] | |
| [02:05.20] | Same story as Friday |
| [02:06.09] | Lots of hugging |
| [02:06.99] | Lots of dancing etc etc |
| [02:08.24] | |
| [02:09.16] | I couldn't sleep again |
| [02:09.83] | So went to the park |
| [02:10.69] | To look at the toon |
| [02:11.56] | |
| [02:12.21] | Taking a detour through |
| [02:13.07] | The playpark |
| [02:13.57] | |
| [02:14.36] | To get in we had to climb over |
| [02:15.77] | A ten foot steel fence which resulted |
| [02:17.14] | In severe bruising of our hands |
| [02:18.49] | Legs and groins |
| [02:19.07] | |
| [02:20.15] | But we had a good laugh on the stuff |
| [02:21.40] | |
| [02:21.92] | Especially the tube-slide |
| [02:22.62] | Which probably doubles up |
| [02:23.73] | As a urinal for drunk teens |
| [02:25.03] | |
| [02:26.57] | Then we walked through the woods |
| [02:27.57] | To have a look at the toon |
| [02:28.73] | Big disappointment |
| [02:29.71] | But the mist on the lake was cool |
| [02:30.88] | |
| [02:35.50] | Sunday afternoon we go up to |
| [02:36.70] | John's with a lot of beer in time to |
| [02:38.25] | Watch the Simpsons - it was a |
| [02:39.73] | Really good episode about love |
| [02:41.02] | Always ending in tragedy except |
| [02:42.28] | Of course for Marge and Homer |
| [02:43.30] | |
| [02:44.28] | It was quite moving at the end |
| [02:45.32] | And to tell you the truth my eyes |
| [02:46.44] | Were a bit damp |
| [02:46.98] | |
| [02:55.20] | Then we watched these young girls |
| [02:56.20] | In swimsuits have a water |
| [02:57.35] | Fight in the street |
| [02:58.25] | |
| [03:01.24] | We went up to the pub about ten |
| [03:02.55] | It was busy for a Sunday night |
| [03:04.51] | Lots of people we know |
| [03:05.39] | Including my first ever girlfriend |
| [03:06.49] | |
| [03:07.73] | Who I still find very attractive |
| [03:08.88] | Quite frankly |
| [03:09.38] | But I didn't really speak to her |
| [03:10.52] | |
| [03:11.49] | She's probably still a bitch anyway |
| [03:12.49] | |
| [03:14.89] | Her friend Gillian was there |
| [03:15.72] | |
| [03:16.72] | I had a chat with her |
| [03:17.60] | She was still quite pleasant |
| [03:18.73] | |
| [03:19.49] | At the same time I watched Malcolm |
| [03:20.80] | Make some terrible attempt to try |
| [03:23.85] | And chat up a girl we know called Jo |
| [03:25.18] | |
| [03:26.86] | He made some remark about her |
| [03:28.00] | Skirt that was barely there the |
| [03:29.23] | Previous night or something |
| [03:30.00] | |
| [03:33.05] | I couldn't sleep again that night |
| [03:34.05] | |
| [03:35.23] | Thanks to some seriously disturbing |
| [03:36.49] | Nightmares Matthew says |
| [03:38.86] | I should cut down on the cheese |
| [03:40.46] | "Went out for the weekend |
| [03:41.55] | It lasted for ever high with |
| [03:44.03] | Our friends it's officially summer " |

| [04:05.57] | |
| [04:06.79] | I got some sleep eventually |
| [04:07.99] | On Monday afternoon |
| [04:08.69] | |
| [04:09.52] | It was a beautiful day |
| [04:10.52] | And later that evening Malcolm |
| [04:11.87] | Introduced me to the |
| [04:12.67] | Power of Merrydown - ￡1 79 a litre |
| [04:14.92] | 8 2% - mmmm |
| [04:18.13] | |
| [04:19.61] | Judith and Laura came round later |
| [04:20.88] | |
| [04:21.50] | And we sat in my back garden and drank |
| [04:22.93] | |
| [04:24.27] | Then Matthew came round |
| [04:25.04] | And we went up the town |
| [04:25.82] | |

| [01:26.69] | To keep everyone else up |
| [01:27.79] | |
| [01:43.61] | Then at ten o' clock in the morning |
| [01:44.80] | We went downstairs to |
| [01:45.56] | Buy some drink |
| [01:46.29] | |
| [01:46.83] | We had intended |
| [01:47.35] | To watch the football in the afternoon |
| [01:48.77] | But we' d passed out by then |
| [01:49.83] | And slept right through it |
| [01:50.98] | |
| [01:51.50] | Awaking to find that England |
| [01:52.44] | Had won twonil |
| [01:53.17] | |
| [01:55.06] | Then we went to get the train |
| [01:56.22] | Home and had a few in the |
| [01:57.25] | Station bar |
| [01:57.58] | |
| [01:58.23] | We had some stuff left from |
| [01:59.20] | The previous night' s supplies |
| [02:00.16] | So when we got home we decided |
| [02:02.54] | To go down to John' s indie disco |
| [02:03.89] | |
| [02:05.20] | Same story as Friday |
| [02:06.09] | Lots of hugging |
| [02:06.99] | Lots of dancing etc etc |
| [02:08.24] | |
| [02:09.16] | I couldn' t sleep again |
| [02:09.83] | So went to the park |
| [02:10.69] | To look at the toon |
| [02:11.56] | |
| [02:12.21] | Taking a detour through |
| [02:13.07] | The playpark |
| [02:13.57] | |
| [02:14.36] | To get in we had to climb over |
| [02:15.77] | A ten foot steel fence which resulted |
| [02:17.14] | In severe bruising of our hands |
| [02:18.49] | Legs and groins |
| [02:19.07] | |
| [02:20.15] | But we had a good laugh on the stuff |
| [02:21.40] | |
| [02:21.92] | Especially the tubeslide |
| [02:22.62] | Which probably doubles up |
| [02:23.73] | As a urinal for drunk teens |
| [02:25.03] | |
| [02:26.57] | Then we walked through the woods |
| [02:27.57] | To have a look at the toon |
| [02:28.73] | Big disappointment |
| [02:29.71] | But the mist on the lake was cool |
| [02:30.88] | |
| [02:35.50] | Sunday afternoon we go up to |
| [02:36.70] | John' s with a lot of beer in time to |
| [02:38.25] | Watch the Simpsons it was a |
| [02:39.73] | Really good episode about love |
| [02:41.02] | Always ending in tragedy except |
| [02:42.28] | Of course for Marge and Homer |
| [02:43.30] | |
| [02:44.28] | It was quite moving at the end |
| [02:45.32] | And to tell you the truth my eyes |
| [02:46.44] | Were a bit damp |
| [02:46.98] | |
| [02:55.20] | Then we watched these young girls |
| [02:56.20] | In swimsuits have a water |
| [02:57.35] | Fight in the street |
| [02:58.25] | |
| [03:01.24] | We went up to the pub about ten |
| [03:02.55] | It was busy for a Sunday night |
| [03:04.51] | Lots of people we know |
| [03:05.39] | Including my first ever girlfriend |
| [03:06.49] | |
| [03:07.73] | Who I still find very attractive |
| [03:08.88] | Quite frankly |
| [03:09.38] | But I didn' t really speak to her |
| [03:10.52] | |
| [03:11.49] | She' s probably still a bitch anyway |
| [03:12.49] | |
| [03:14.89] | Her friend Gillian was there |
| [03:15.72] | |
| [03:16.72] | I had a chat with her |
| [03:17.60] | She was still quite pleasant |
| [03:18.73] | |
| [03:19.49] | At the same time I watched Malcolm |
| [03:20.80] | Make some terrible attempt to try |
| [03:23.85] | And chat up a girl we know called Jo |
| [03:25.18] | |
| [03:26.86] | He made some remark about her |
| [03:28.00] | Skirt that was barely there the |
| [03:29.23] | Previous night or something |
| [03:30.00] | |
| [03:33.05] | I couldn' t sleep again that night |
| [03:34.05] | |
| [03:35.23] | Thanks to some seriously disturbing |
| [03:36.49] | Nightmares Matthew says |
| [03:38.86] | I should cut down on the cheese |
| [03:40.46] | " Went out for the weekend |
| [03:41.55] | It lasted for ever high with |
| [03:44.03] | Our friends it' s officially summer " |
| [03:45.98] | |
| [03:46.58] | " Went out for the weekend |
| [03:47.98] | It lasted for ever high with |
| [03:50.42] | Our friends it' s officially summer " |
| [03:52.54] | |
| [03:53.16] | " Went out for the weekend |
| [03:54.61] | It lasted for ever high with |
| [03:56.91] | Our friends it' s officially summer " |

| [03:59.66] | " Went out for the weekend |
| [04:01.24] | It lasted for ever high with |
| [04:03.67] | Our friends it' s officially summer " |
| [04:05.57] | |
| [04:06.79] | I got some sleep eventually |
| [04:07.99] | On Monday afternoon |
| [04:08.69] | |
| [04:09.52] | It was a beautiful day |
| [04:10.52] | And later that evening Malcolm |
| [04:11.87] | Introduced me to the |
| [04:12.67] | Power of Merrydown 1 79 a litre |
| [04:14.92] | 8 2 mmmm |
| [04:18.13] | |
| [04:19.61] | Judith and Laura came round later |
| [04:20.88] | |
| [04:21.50] | And we sat in my back garden and drank |
| [04:22.93] | |
| [04:24.27] | Then Matthew came round |
| [04:25.04] | And we went up the town |
| [04:25.82] | |
| [04:32.22] | It' s officially summer |
