Short stop

Hello children!!!

So..... since last time......

Caught about $70 bucks worth of trains out to see my dads sister Chris...met some cousins..... had bangers and mash for lunch, got a copy of my dads family tree that goes back to 1700 something...... good afternoon

That night tubed it to my mate Dan Oldknows...had beers with his parents and sister...before heading out with him and Cameron Paul, who i hadn´t seen in about 5 years... several very dodgy pubs and clubs later, and various incidents that are best not discussed in a family publication like this...i stumbled onto the spare bed at dans at about 6.30am...just like being home...... only got to bed earlier here.

Recovered enough to head out to Clapham and go to Robyn (from Contiki)´s birthday drinks thingy.... was a good thing ...was about 10 of us from the trip still around so had another big night....... GOOD TIMES!! (pics below of the awesome contiki kids)

Next day back to dans, thinking of having a very quiet night after 2 on the trot. Had gotten my cousin Glorias number off mum the night before, and rang her thinking "i fly at 6pm tomorrow i´ve got no chance of catching up with her" rang left a message ....she returns my call

"hey how are ya?"

blah blah blah

" not sure of theres much chance of catching up i go tomorrow"

"where are you?" she asks

"chiswick"

"chiswick!?!?!??"

"yeah its about a 30 minute tube ride west of the city"

"yeah i know where it is....i´m there now...i moved here today"

So suffice to say... an hour later i was at the Duke with Gloria, Micky, and their flatmate sinking Guiness...another serve of bangers and mash.... and sort of tumbled out as they called last drinks at 10pm.......GOOD TIMES

So, i wake the next day to prepare to go to Mexico via Miami.....as i said before leaving at 6pm.......

Wake at 10 the next day.. calmly go about my business of packing and showering .......so much time up my sleeve its not funny....pull my paperwork out to check my details...

NO CHOPPER YOU WANKER!!!!! YOU LEAVE MIAMI AT SIX PM!!! the little voice screamed in my head...."YOU SHOULD HAVE FLOWN OUT OF LONDON A FUCKING HOUR AGO!!!!!!"

Panic, panic, panic...jam my shit together...tube it to Heathrow(about an hour)....run to the American Airlines desk....give them a sob story....he says if you run, theres a plane with British Airways leaves at 1.30pm...it was now 12.35.......so......run run run....sweat sweat sweat.. make the 1.30.... but miss the connection to Mexico so have to stay overnight...

But anyway....no wuckers...its all worked out...I´m in Cancun now (its says Miami at the top cause i want it marked on my little map!!)..

Booked into my hostel......in a street my taxi driver told me they call ALCATRAZ...not sure i´ll be sticking around.... be looking on the web for something else after this blog!!!

But for now poindexters

Buh Bye

Oh mate.... what's gonna happen to you
Hey Chop Chop. Good to see the liver continues to function - well at least enough to get you to the next spot - just. Keep the good times rolling, you never know what will happen if you stop! Take care mate, xx
