My weekend in Southampton

After popping in to see my nephew who was just turned 4, Drew and i made our way down to sunny Southampton to see our friend Sparky.

We decided to fore-go tea on Friday and just went straight out a decision which was later proved to be a poor one.

Sparks didn't really know Southampton that well so we walked around, saw a nice bar but were refused entry because i have a tattoo on my arm and that means i am highly dangerous.

We eventually went into another bar just down the road had a couple of pints then went to some club which was rubbish but served vodka redbull for a pound so we took advantage of this offer.

After a while we had had enough and so moved on to another club which again wasn't great but they did have a "live" performance from a Five tribute band, everybody loves a bit of Five.

Sparky was a broken man at this point and having disappeared to the toilets Drew went to look for him, returning with the shell of Sparky who said "i need to go home dude".

Don't know how he did it but he managed to guide us back to his puking over a bridge on the way and we deposited him into bed with a bucket, Drew and i then went back out to get some food, returned to find Sparks comatose in bed.

We were up and about at 9am the next morning got ready and went to have some brekkie and look round the shops. We got back just in time to watch the FA Cup final which was a minted game (whilst keeping an eye on Hearts v Gretna via the phone). We discussed going to Bournemouth that night but decided we would go out in Southampton again as it would be easier.

So we went to the casino first, Drew and i lost about £20 each and Sparks after being £60 down at one point ended up with £180 in his wallet after getting 3 numbers in a row on roulette. We went on then to a different club which was pretty big and full of ladies and proceded to drink ourselves into a stuper. No sickness though and we returned home to watch Ricky Hatton going to bed at about 4:30am.

Yesterday we awoke to watch the Grand Prix then came home, what a weekend had a great laugh was reminded plenty of times that Sparky truly says the most ridiculous things, brilliant.

I used to love Five!

Abs was my favourite. They used to play them a lot in clubs in Chelts when I was there I seem to remember! Quality stuff.
