Mr Bevil, the happy groom to be, experienced a stag weekend coordinated by semi-skilled Fam. Oh Bevil, you lucky man! The events took place last weekend in Canterbury and consisted of mostly paintballing and drinking. Unfortunately for me, I had to work so only managed to catch the tail end of the weekend but that was just enough time for me to absorb the Fam’s words of wisdom at his dinner table speech. This is a subject close to my heart as I will be conducting my own Best man’s speech in the not too distant future so I must say a huge thank you to Fam for allowing me to listen to a speech that George Bush himself would have been proud of.

This weekend a bunch of blokes and I traveled to the city of Leicester to celebrate Mr Kelly turning 24. This is where I spent 3 years of my life learning about life, computers and the Koran, so it was a little bit sentimental seeing the old place again. On the whole it was a huge success of a weekend! We went to Madferrit at the Leicester student Uni on Friday and then the De montfort student union on Saturday. Prior to going up, I got hold of a load of NUS cards off ebay which meant we were able to go to these places and I’m so glad I did because they were both great nights. Cheap booze and a super relaxed atmosphere, really allow you to let your hair down.

That, I can assure equates to a lot of the black stuff. Unfortunately, my camera’s battery showed itself to not have the same staying power, hence the relatively low number of pictures. However, its all about the quality of which there is plenty!

To be honest I am still a bit shocked that it happened; Nick came out for his own birthday! And we all managed to get to London. I think Matt A being back for the weekend helped but it was good to finally celebrate Nick’s birthday, which was nearly three months ago. Read the rest of this entry »

This is somewhat of a full lap for hopkins81 as Clara’s last birthday was the first set of pictures I put on here. Scotland was a fantastic weekend, I didn’t really think there were going to be that many great photos but how wrong I was! Neal appears to have taken over from Gomez as being the most photographed man, but with such beautiful eyes who can blame us. But even he would have to agree that Clara was the bell of the ball, and didn’t look a day over 23 and 11/12. Read the rest of this entry »
