Tenerife

I haven't posted for a while. A long while really, considering the title of my last post was 'Olympics'. Anyway, its been a couple of weeks since we got back from Tenerife and i thought it would be funny to reflect on some of the banter. Like Abbas did, i'll pick random things that i found funny, perhaps not the obvious, classic stories and ones that haven't been blogged yet. here goes:

1. Balcony antics - There were various moments during our time on the balcony that must have really fucked the neighbours off! All of us doing loud hand clapping, loud singing at the top of our voices, me j and al doing some sort of weird group dance and being caught, talking about rape, al pretending to have sex with the yellow ball and being caught, gary wanking over the edge!!

2. Lesree Rideout - urgh. This was living proof of how our banter can just go to waste sometimes. During the quiz at the restaurant they were playing snippets of songs/tv progs etc and you had to identify what it was. They played Coronation Street, so Al quipped 'Isn't that the national anthem' to which lesree replied 'no it aint, durr, are you mates fick or someink'.

3. Moments of embarrasment Part 1- As Al touched upon it in his blog, we got stopped by a rep on a motorbike and we had to endure all the usual claptrap of 'oh there's gonna be some fanny and some fat ones, free drinks, tickets going fast' and why the guy couldn't sense that we weren't interested is beyond belief. When he finally asked if we were interested, Al replied 'Monday i'm.....' and massive silence followed!! haha, this happened whilst Gary was staring at the palm tree, j doing hos trademark unimpressed expression and me kicking a stray leaf on the ground. Gary later confessed that he said the name of our hotlel, because the embarrasment was unbearable!
Part 2 - At the Aiport on the way home, having joked about seeing the Rideouts and what would happen, it actually ended up happening. The four of us were chilling, reading and listening to music, when out of the corner of my eye i saw them. They had actually seeked us out and before you knew it they perched themselves next to us. J put a hoody on and pretended to go to sleep, whilst laura was scrutinising his every movement, looking for any sign of him waking. When Al 'woke' him up J said 'Oh hi, i didn't realise you girls were here otherwise i would have stayed awake'.

4. On the second night, me and Gary were walking back and we somehow lost Al and J even though we were walking together. I, for no apparent reason stopped on the side of the road and was just staring blankly ahead and started to stroke a cactus! I did this 2-3 times even though it hurt each time and woke the next morning with thorns in my palm.

There are so many other funny moments, but i'll end my post with some funny quotes.

'Hi, It's me'
'What, so all you're doing is drinking? Oh come on guys, its Tenerife not fucking Blackpool'
'What does again mean?'
'Read all about it, read all about it, Theo Walcott murdered Jill Dando'
'OH FUCK OFF! McDonalds is open'
'Do you wanna leg it from the taxi?' (Gary, inside the cab)
'Burp, eeeuuurrrgggghhh'

I don't really feel i've done the holiday justice, so many funny things happened, but its impossible to remember. Which is why its good when you reflect on it with the other heads, as everyone remembers different things.
