Jason's Stag

Early on sat 6th, Scatch, George Claudio and I set off from a damp Oxford for Bournemouth via Winchester. We Evetually meet up with the rest of the boys outside our B&B and walk to the train station with 2 minutes to spare. Go to Poole harbour and meet our boat. We went out for a day of fishing. We had drinks and a laugh, and I managed to catch a small bass. However, I think I lost of beautiful solid gold ring with jade stone. Back to the b&b around 6, meet up with more lads there. Good crowd of us. All shower and get ready and then head out. It was a drunken night and a good laugh, although Bournemouth is a right proper shit hole.

Moped Accident and the Dopey 999 Operator

I witnessed an accident involving a girl of about 15 years being run over by a woman driving a moped. The girl ran out in the road between two buses and neither girl nor moped could do anything about the inevitable collision. I immediately called 999 and spoke to the ambulance operator. He could not locate the scene of the accident. I was on hold for about 4-5 minutes and luckily, someone else called the accident in. Later in the day I called up the London Ambulance Service and made a complaint. The girl, although in shock, managed to walk away. The woman on the moped was taken to hospital in a stretcher.

Dam 2009

So Dam 2009 finally happened. We worked it out, the last time the three of us went to Dam together was back in Nov 2003 when Johnny Wilkinson kicked the winner in the Rugby World Cup final. So, what happened? Well we set off from Gatwick on Friday afternoon and the journey, although trouble free, seemed to last for ages. It wasn't until 8.45, that we were in our first coffeeshop. I have to say, that time has taken its toll. We were all a little jaded from the off. The difference between this and previous trips is that we managed to do an equal amount of walking to coffeshop time. The weather was glorious the whole weekend. Just lovely. On the last night, we left the back door of our hotel room open for some air. big mistake. Paul and I woke covered in mosquito bites. I had them mostly running down my left side, from neck to fingertips. LG wasn't bitten. He's too fat to appeal to mosquitoes.
