What a night. Apart from the obvious drawback of not having Alice there
to join in the fun and games, this New Years Eve was amazing. This
Christmas generally has been stunning. Christmas Eve gigging with Dr
Blue was fantastic. Boxing night gigging with Antonio was just
brilliant, but New Years Eve. It was all about New Years Eve. Antonio
had gone up north and had claimed to be spending New Years Eve on his
own at his home in London. I thought it a little weird and wanted
nothing more than Antonio to be here with us as the clock struck
midnight. As it turned out, at about 6 ok on New Years Eve, I’m on the
phone to Alice in Ireland, and there’s a knock on my door. Antonio is
the surprising figure on the other side, and my heart jumps into my
mouth as I jump up and down still holding the phone. He arrived in good
time and arranged secretly going to a meal that Elly and Jharda and
Woo-Ha were organizing. All very hush hush. I continued to try and get
everyone in the same place at midnight, which was O’Donoghues at
midnight. We managed it. Me, Ant, Matt, Jharda, Rik, Fee, Jim, Lloyd,
Meg, and Rosie all jumped up and down and gave big hugs at midnight in
the back room of O’D’s, which was totally our room. We then started to
get silly. I started necking vodka red bulls, and I rang Alice, at
12:01, and got through first time! Better than last year!! I got very
very very very very very very very very very very pissed. We stayed at
O’D’s till about half 1-2ish, but by then we were joined by Elly,
Woo-Ha, Andy, Gnome, Rik, Laura, and possibly other people who I don’t
know. So 16 people trekked back to my house, where earlier I’d cleaned
and prepared glasses and drinks and set up my vodka and red-bulls. I
smoked a bit and at approximately half past 2 I lost recollection of
all memory.
I do however have an account of what transpired:
1. We all started playing guitar. Antonio did a version of Hallelujah which I shouted over and totally ruined.
2. Antonio then played some blues, and in my pissed state, I managed to
do a solo over it, in the right key with a few fluffed notes, but then
at the end, I played 2 notes next to each other
gradually slowing down, until I finished on the right one, and then in
a timely fashion, I fell off my chair.
3. Jharda then took a video on her phone of me rolling my arms around
shouting the words “Rock ‘n’ Roll”, it then panned to Lloyd, who was
looking at me, thinking how much I reminded him of his friend Mark. It
then panned back to me as I screamed “Shamone Mutha” then the video
ends. Oh Dear.
4. Then Jim went to the door with Lloyd for some fresh air. I
discovered that the door had been opened and I proceeded to run out
into the street, stop in the middle of the road, turn left, run full
tilt up the street, I then ran into someone’s garden and tried taking a
piss on their front door. Jim tried to stop me, but I got free and ran
to someone else’s door and pissed on theirs instead.
5. I lost my brand new 256MB USB flash drive.
6. I smoked more.
7. I went to the bathroom and opened the window at speed.
8. I tried closing my window incorrectly and broke it leaving a wide 30cm opening at the bottom as it stuck.
9. I wrote the words “MUTHA FUCKA” on my bathroom mirror using Vaseline.
10. Rik (fawn) went around my house writing the word CUNT on my walls
in navy blue insulating tape. I found 4 instances the next day.
11. Antonio went around after Rik and removed the top bar from the C of
CUNT so now everywhere said the marvelous and now much treasured word
“LUNT”.
12. I hid in the scullery.
13. I fell into the scullery.
14. I fell over and kicked Gnome in the face.
15. I ate something red.
16. I fell into the scullery.
17. Matt threw his mobile phone at me and it hit me in the chest,
winding me a little, at which I disagreed with him that it was a good
idea and we had some sarcastic cross words.
18. I fell over, and landed miraculously in the scullery.
19. I shouted things.
20. I regained some consciousness and remember telling people at half past 6 that I was going to bed.
21. I shouted for Lloyd after realizing 2 things. 1. I was upside down. And 2. I couldn’t untie my shoes.
22. Lloyd rescued me by untying my shoes.
23. I discovered to my dismay that some fiendish acquaintance of mine
had written the word CUNT on my bed. The full length across, in huge
letters, in navy blue insulating tape.
24. I fell asleep.
25. I woke up.
26. Matt made me a coffee and threatened to open my curtains.
27. I told matt to fuck off.
28. I looked at the clock. 2pm.
29. I got out of bed and found the word “LUNT” all over my walls.
30. I found a tissue version of the word “LUNT” on my video shelf carefully torn.
31. I went downstairs and found my kitchen cupboard handle broken.
32. I discovered my new hat was missing.
33. I discovered my USB flash drive was missing.
34. I discovered my house was VERY messy.
35. I spoke to Matt on msn and apologized for being a big grumpy head and for telling him to fuck off.
36. I apologized to Ant for being a grumpy head too.
We are talking folks about a mammoth victory of a new years eve. I
would not change any one thing of what happened, other than Alice being
there of course. It was godlike in proportions and hilarious!
Although I lost about 4 hours, and a full roll of navy blue insulating
tape, it was simply the best New Years Eve I’ve ever had. And I’ve had
a few corkers.
Here's some pics of me and Graeme on Christmas Eve:
Action!
Smile!
You know... Really Dancin'....o/ o/ \o
