Monday

Me and Don ended up winning the darts! 3rd time lucky as they say. Was a bizzare evening really. There were two pools of 8 couples, with the top 2 going through from each pool to play a semi then the resulting final. Rather oddly at one stage we had won 5 out of 6 games but still weren't through and had to rely on other results around us to aid our progression. The 4 pints were exceeded, fucking doubled infact, but somehow nerves still played a part regardless of drinking like a fish.

Aside from the win the evening had a few sour points for me. I couldn't believe how sexist and patronising some of the blokes were, when they were playing with their WAGS. These were some of the comments made:
'Just try and hit the board if its not too much trouble'
'This is the bit you need to hit, the little green bit (*Standing right at the board, pointing at it)
'Oh you can see how the vodka's kicked in for her'
Its quite funny reflecting on it now, but it was pretty cringing at the time.

I played tennis for the 1st time in about a year on Sunday morning. Having broke my finger and avoided the frosty weather i thought i should show my face to gear up for the upcoming league matches in May. I played like a dozy chump. Exactly how a typical British tennis player would. I couldn't believe how rusty i was and ended up getting spanked 6-0, after which i immediately fucked off, head bowed with the strings barely touched. After the 2nd air shot i realised i really need to book some private 1-1 lessons with the coach Cliff to regain some sort of form. It had been so long since i'd ventured onto the court that one of the members simply said 'welcome' when i sauntered on court.

Finally, a really funny thing just happened. A Local Labour associate of some sort rang up our household to ask each of us individually who we were going to vote for in the mayor election. I was the last up and as everyone had opted not to vote labour i thought i'd carry on the trend just for a laugh. The phone conversation went like this:
'Hello Mr Crew, i am enquiring as to who you will be voting for in the mayor election'
'Conservative'
'Can i ask why you have made that decision?'
'Boris, aint it'
'beeeeeeeeeeep'
