 Hmmm.... awake ??.... just about Rich ! |
Jon - too pi55ed to care what's in the glass |
Top Comedy Moment: Jon was standing in a group and had put his full glass on the floor between his feet in order to consult his beer-book. Andy nips around the back of the group and replaces Jon's glass with his empty one. The look on Jon's face was a picture !!!! |
|
Someone's nicked Bob's glass ! |
 |
 |
 Ron tries the 'napalm' (I can't remember the other guy's name!) |
Jon has got some strange ways of holding a glass! |
 Ron wonders what kind of tree he'd like to be ! |

 ......Jon didn't suspect a thing ! (They don't call him 'Rocket Ron' for nothing. |

 "These glasses are much too small !" |
 Ron floats out of the beer festival |
 Andy gets a light from Simon's carrier-bag |
 15:15 - Out on the road, in search of more beer |
The afternoon continued in a pub, whose name eludes me, talking about goodness knows what. Eventually ended up at the Bristol Fashion which has a pool-table. During the afternoon, people trickled away to catch buses, trains, etc. Ended up , (How??) getting the bus back to Sodbury. I did receive an answerphone message from Ron at 21:15 but I couldn't understand what he was saying. I think he was in a pub somewhere !Anyway, the remainder of the day................. |
