No leaving party is a leaving party unless there is a pre leaving party party. For Andy this was a Murries thursdat night, which ended up in buckleys drinking hunters. I really am so over hunters but it was on special so what can you do?

Anyway so after the warm up party the next day we go to leons for a braai, Deon and I get stuck in making sushi and the rest of the part just generally get stuck in.
For some reason that totally escapes me I decided that I needed to my alcohal level up in my blood stream and so took an energy sachet from my argus race pack and mixed it with the recommended 200ml or clear fluid, in the case being vodka. The night was very fuzzy from then on, we went off on a mission which including cubanas and me and Guy eating chips at bimbos. This is the night I think that those photos of the girls kissing comes from, but one can not be 100% sure..
It all started last friday, dday as it has become known. So from work we all rush to doodles to watch the sunset and drink a few beers. Johan arrives in his beautiful new car, I meet dales new stickie. From there it starts getting a little blurry, next thing I know its 5:30 in the morning and I have been out drinking for 13 hours and have eaten two meals consisting of burgers and chips.

From doodles, we went to murries with some very boy racer driving being followed by an infinitly more powerful and expensive audi, not as cool as my car but its a convertable. When Im going through my mid-life crisis I want a convertable.

So that was friday, saturday was a mellower night, I went across the road to a 16 year olds birthday party. There was some drinking and so I did not with that clear a head on sunday.

Painting is not my thing, its fun for the first 5 minutes and the planning the colours thing. The actually up and down the ladder part of it is a bitch.
Loads of pics! You got to love drunk guys in rugby shirts who always try and get into your photos. Thanks to Jodi the Murryfield arms barmen for putting him back in his seat. I arrived late for Juries birthday, to find a load of people there in various stages on drunkeness. I was watching england lose in the world cup so was pretty much on my own mission. Half way through the evening enough was enough and I went off to buckleys to have a drink with myself. Im not really sure why but I felt I need space to be by myself in a bar full of semi strnagers. There are always people in buckleys you recognise. This isnt really a good or bad thing, just a thing.
Now Leon has left for London aswell.. so thats Ronnie, Sara, Clayton , Tammy and now Leon there. As someone mentioned not so subtly over supper who is next? Well it seems it might actually be J, but she is in JHB already

The night was brilliant though, 6 of us had supper at mine and proved how growm up we were by talking about books and babies. Lucky this maturity didnt last the whole night. On arriving at murries we started on the russian roulette and jugs of beer. At some stages there where 3 jugs of beer on the table.

I chatted up the owner who gave us free rounds, leon shotters and discount off all our drinks so we were very happy.

Stones was busy as usual, I managed to slip in without paying so I was happy. Terri was in her element and was a bad influence on me trying to compete to see who could flirt with the most people. Terri won, but Im sure if I had a sexy skirt on I would have gone alot better.
Marc and I competed. Marc won with his lekker oxtail and apple potjie. My good veggie karma didnt impress the New Zealand judges. I was totally unorganised and hung over running around like a headless chicken.

Next year we have decided it will be better we will be organised we will have costumes and a song. Thats all the barmy aremy team needed to clentch the win.
Handed in another UNISA assignment, very behind trying to get enough credits to write exams. To celebrate go for a drink at the local friendly pub. Ronnie and Sara have a fight as usual over my ex which is pretty weird. Loads of pics of clay for tammy, shame you missing your stallion? Rick on the bog, but he deleted them!!!!! Very kick ass group photo, canon it seems make the best cameras.
In 2003 we had a very respectable 6th place, not bad for our first attempt. This year we out did ourselfs and won! I try Ronnie and Laurence still we woke up late, went shopping, arrived late borrowed a braai. Drunk a few to many beers and had a cool time.
There were rumours that we would have some competition from the infamous Kevins, but the didnt have the big match temprement, and didnt pitch up on the day! Big thanks to all our friends who helped us win by giving our potjie that true potjie atmosphere. We will be back again next year to defend our title! Bring it on Kevins!
The evening started very well, we all met at Primi and had there legendary jam jars. Then we went to murreys, and it all gets a little blurry. My "Date" disappeared and I ended up sitting in murreys next to my ex with an arm band around my beer! And now Im spending a saturday evening playing on my computer with a very bruised left nipple. Maybe I should stop drinking...
Just got these from Leon, not exactly sure when they are from. Must be about mid 2003. Im looking very studly with my goaty and short hair. Leon take sit to the extreme with his Mohawk.

At the bottom is Ronnie trying to do the 100 shots of beer challenge. He failed dismally, throwing up on the murries carpet. Good times....
Craig and Greg are still around, Greg with a cute girl all over him.
