Kimberley Jane Polkinghorne turns 21.

---

7pm - Cat devours pack of doritos and an extra large chocolate bar whilst trying as hard as possible not to look like she has been stood up for a Valentines Day date. Finally, she meets Bo and Jo and is rather excited

7:30pm - Dinner is served at Mr. Wu's. £4.50 all you can eat Chinese buffett. Complete with hot chips and wine that tastes like petrol. Cutlery is hard to come by.

8:30pm - Dessert (with two s's just like supper has two p's) costs a ridiculous amount at the cafe next door, but tastes oh so good, especially with the excessive amounts of whipped cream.

8:45pm - The Zoo Bar, which we are on the guest list for appears in front of our eyes.

8:46pm - Woo Woo is enjoyed by all

8:50pm - Cat accidentally engages the attention of a 58 year old, due to her staring at him thinking 'What the hell is an old man doing here?'

8:53pm - Old Man buys Kimbo a double shot of Baileys

8:57pm - Another bottle of cheap bad wine is purchased

9:00pm - Kimbo is deep in discussion with old man about feminism

9:04pm - Jo writes one of many texts to Grim telling him how much fun we are having (and how weird his australian friends are)

9:10pm - A shot of Absinthe for all

9:11pm - Despite Cat trying to be responisble and let the last shot sink in before drinking anymore, Jo purchases Woo Woo.

9:25pm - We find the enterance to the downstairs part of Zoo Bar

9:27pm - After waiting in an imaginary cue, we go to the toilet and find a lovely attendant who tells us she doesnt get paid. We feel bad and tip generously. In retrospect, we were conned.

9:31pm - Bo is deep in converstation with random guy, Cat pulls her aside to say 'he has a receeding hairline'. Bo responds with 'Yeah and hes bloody hidious'

9:42pm - Random guy tells us of a club where the music is not hiphop r and b crap. He offers to take us.

9:50pm - Plans to leave are disrupted by cheerleaders randomly jumping on the bar and shaking their booty. Bo is excited and takes photos.

10pm - All concept of time is lost

- We walk out of zoo bar to find a rickshaw big enough for two. We all jump in and tell the driver the name of the pub random guy has told us about.

- After some tough up hill cycling (due to the fattys in the back) we arrive in Covent Gardens. Here we find a guy telling us of a pub we can get in for £1. We ask him to waiver the fee for Bo's 21st.

- Fee is not waivered and we are utterly dissappointed in having to pay £1.

- Drinks are £2. Hurrah!

- Jo ends up with a sign off some guy's back about how he is desperate.

-Bo makes friend with 2 gay guys who offer to take her to Italy for a family dinner tomorrow. They also buy her some champagne and give her their number which is unreadable.

- It is somewhere around 3am and raining. Bo gets out her umbrella. Cat picks up an umbrella from the street. Both umbrellas are broken by the wind. There is a possiblity that Cat was singing Mary Poppins songs.

- Bo finds a box which she uses as an umbrella. A nice Irish guy gives us directions (we think)

- Cat negotiates a free taxi ride to Trafalgar Square to get the night bus home.

- After waiting some time, we realise the bus we need is going the other way and walk across the road to the right bus stop. Bo begins random chatter with people waiting at the bus stop

- Somehow, Cat manages to figure out which bus to get on. But Bo has lost her ticket. Luckily, the nice woman she was talking to helps her use the machine to buy a new one.

- Jo is highly embarrassed by Cat and Bo singing at the top of their lungs on the bus. Bo is angry that no-one is looking at her.

- Cat finds a random object shaped somewhat like a golf club on the walk home. We still dont know what it is.

- We arrive home and cook toast with Vegemite (Jo is soft and has hers with cheese)



Thats about it in general. It was lots of fun and hilariously funny.
Note to my family - I'm not an alcoholic, I had to drink for Bo's 21st, since I couldn't give her the promised gift of a trip to Iraq.
Note to everyone - Despite my mother's comments, the Famous Five are not making a comeback - THEY NEVER LEFT! Everyone loves the famous five (well except Anne, she sucks!)
Also, am very disappointed that more of you couldnt make it to Bo's Birthday Bash. She was very upset by the small turn out.
