Neil's Stag weekend - Friday...
Friday 31st March - Texas Hold'em!
Roll up, roll up - here we are Ladies and Gentlemen - Neil's stag weekend and have we got a treat for you...... Beers, Uncle Jacky, Johnnie Walker (green label if it matters!!), pizza, 240 AUD to be won, 6 peeps and of course, a deck of 52! So with no further ado - we began. What a cracking game for those who have yet to experience - I'll not go through the rules, but for the phobes, we played small and big blinds, with no maximum betting! Think it'd be over soon? One of Neil's lads, Scott, did the honours with digging out a set up with the gambling chips - an authentic, new, 'texas hold 'em' card deck - great result mate.
These are the players: - Left to Right - Scott, Peel, Kirsten (truly a rose amongst thorns), Adrian (hiding away because like, the camera steals your soul maaaannnn...!) and last, but of course not least, Duane - the BEST man!
Now, I was there too, but someone had to take the photo!! So, the stage was set and at 1am - we were still trying hard - it was about this time that I heard the phrase 'maggoted' - which is a great phrase for being wrecked I think. Of course, we didn't help ourselves with consuming a bottle of Jack, a bottle of Johnnie Walker, a bottle of Nemiroff pepper vodka and the best part of a litre of Glenmorangie - Neil's birthday pressie for Tuesday! Christ - that's a line up - Stag weekend, birthday and your own wedding within an 8 day period - my poor liver!!
The other advantage of having presented Neil with the Glenmorangie was that I could show off my leaving pressie from my old flatties - the amazing collapsible shot 'glass' - I have to say, it went down a treat with everyone - not least for the level of skill in fabricating it! It was here that I was able to bore everyone with stories about engineering tolerances and 'metal to metal sealless fits - see that degree did come in handy!! Anyway, no blog is complete without the 'money shot', so here are Neil and Duane showcasing the Captain's shot glass....Bless - offers accepted...!
For some stupid reason, when I'm drunk, I think I can drink more and also, think we should 'finish what we started' and because we'd said we WILL be playing 2 hands of texas hold 'em, we SHOULD play 2 hands of texas hold 'em. Unfortunately though, Neil wanted his birthday pressie, a bottle of GlenMorangie, early - so, I presented the gift and promptly filmed Neil trying to open it. His toast...'I'd like to thank all thoshhhe who've come...... uh.... tonight...*hic*' cracked Duane and I up no end! On watching it sober this week, Neil was distraught!! I think it's some of the best filming ever shot at 3am after 4 bottles of spirits had been attacked and defeated! Anyway, to cut a short story long... Duane was sober, we weren't, so Duane won. However, Neil felt that as it was his stag do, he should be allowed to win, rather than winning on merit. We disagree Neil and we're bigger than you, but Duane did graciously allow Neil to 'pretend' he'd won, so here we are:
Neil 'won' and you heard it here first!
