(Apologies in advance for going into great boring detail, but my mind's shut down a bit today.)

Don't drink and drive!

It was Big Band social night last night. We had a half rehearsal (which was amazing - apart from the gay reggae tune that no one managed to get right) and after that it was a social as the Brits know it - drinking, drinking, and more drinking!

It began with us gathering in the freezing cold piazza on campus for a glass of wine - and we were given silly name tags and inducted into a couple of games - one of which being every time you have a portion of drink, you must stick a dot on your face. Being one of the latest ones to get there, I got the last glass of rose wine - all the rest was gone! One dot.

Over to Rootes bar to have more drinks and play absolutely mindless games like "DARYL IS GAY" and "v vi vii" - I'm not even going to try and explain how they work. It was at this point that I met lots of new people - esp. sweet (then) Sarah and very sweet Laura (a.k.a. Mrs Prez). Amazingly, Sarah found it hard to down her Snakebite and poured me most of it which I downed for her. By then, four dots. (Is this getting dangerous?)

Then Varsity. I decided to take the car, and this was rewarded by a very happy Phil (or Bill - or PHBILLY) sticking his head out my sunroof and yelling at everyone on the way. Great :) - At Varsity, the true personalities of Big Banders were set off into full motion - with Sarah turning into a laughing hyena and Sweeney repeatedly asking Naomi for blowjobs - don't ask.

Three more dots, and Sarah decided to stick a whole lot more on me, and I have 14. She also went home with my name tag on. I came home early, but judging from the way I parked my car last night, I've decided that should never ever take the car if I intend to drink at all.

Don't drink and drive. Big Band rocks!
