This post is really for Skipps, after his many requests….and seeing that it was his birthday earlier this month that I’ve completely missed! However, pictures are not really good, due to me refusing to turn on the flash. And not many too – for some reason all I could think of last week was drink drink drink and drink….therefore when we headed out on the bus on Saturday I couldn’t wait to throw it all back. I don’t really crave for drinks here, but last week I was craving drinks more than food! So there.

We were at a multitude of places…first there was the walkabout, the pseudo-Australian pub chain that plays rugby and serves kangaroo curry. As watching rugby to me is as alien as watching a rain dance, I toodled around with the wi-fi whilst getting progressively drunk by myself.

That bloke in red with the beanie on his head? Supporting Wales, (it was some sort of cup thingy between Wales & Ireland) he got so pissed off when Wales valiantly lost that he threw his GLASS pint towards the front and stormed off. Beer went everywhere, and glass was completely smashed. It was a suprise that no one was hurt….he stormed off before people realised it was him. What a TWAT.

Other places that I didn’t take pictures of were the Cuthbert Brodrick , the Courtyard and something something….seriously, I was chasing that drunken feeling and could be bothered less where we were! However, the night was swiftly put to a stop when we realise that the last bus was fast approaching (credit crunch means no more taxis!) .

I had the Triple Chocolate Beer….it was absolutely disgusting.Eew.

Well, not before a last stop at the Scabby Taps (officially known as the Scarborough Hotel, although don’t actually know if you can actually rent a room there). This is one of Leeds surviving old skool pubs…I will (promise promise!) do a review nearer to summer when it’s nice outside and I get to visit all the lovely old-man pubs in Leeds…Did get couple of pix there though of the usual suspects…

Believe it or not, I was actually still very sober…going on Whiskey & Diet Coke means I can go for hours…bacon, however, was painfully drunk. Not then, the next day

No, they don’t know I blog, thus they have no idea their pictures are here….:D

All in all, an excellent night out – marred by the fact that we had to head back at 10.15!! We DID start drinking at 5pm though…but I really could do with about 5 more drinks. BurP.

Watch this space for the summer retro-Leeds Pub Crawl!!

Noler…im not…when I’m drunk I turn green..that’s when it’s really really bad…remember!???

HAHAHAHA

You miss my drunken face huh…

Only really had 6-7 drinks over a period of 5 hours….I need at least double that if not more! And cause I stuck with Whiskey diet coke so I was still ok..

For some reason I’m remembering the times where we don’t get home till 5am…ahh good ole days…:)

Who HOO! I’m thisty just looking at those pix! Real beer in a real pub! :-)

Do they still have 11 pm closing times over there?

skipps: If you don’t want to get even more depressed, look away now….

No, a 24 hour drinking rule was passed two years ago, and pubs/bars/clubs can now apply to stay open all day.

Wait till I get my camera out on a nice summer’s day and do a trawl of the old-school pubs thats been in the same spot for 100 odd years.
