24 Hour (Crazy) Party London People
(Above: Walking over London Bridge at 4:30am)
This is the Berocca challenge Europe style, where we're going to see how much we can get out of our 48 hour weekend.
FRIDAY
14:35 GMT Time
You leave your conference early after being urged by your colleagues to go. "If you leave any later, you'll miss your flight!" (Major traffic jams in Cork city...? Really.....?)
15:20 GMT Time
You arrive at the airport very early. Check in time hasn't even started, so you go busy yourself by buying Reece's Peanut Butter Cups and cranberry flavoured water.
17:50 GMT Time
Your flight has been delayed and you have officially run out of Peanut Butter Cups (boo hoo).
18:25 GMT Time
Your plane finally takes off, with your pilot promising to try and make up for lost time on the way to London Stansted airport.
19: 40 GMT Time
Touch down in London city!
20:00 GMT Time
You board the Terravision coach to London Liverpool street and it sits there for another 30 minutes. You start chatting to an Italian girl with dreadlocks and a nose ring and then realise that you too, are becoming one of those Irish people who specifically sits next to people on the bus so that they have somebody to talk to.
20:35 GMT Time
The coach finally leaves the airport. You message C. telling her that you'd be at her place around 10.
21:45 GMT Time
The coach finally crawls into London Liverpool Street. You say goodbye to the Italian girl and then make a mad dash to the tube.
22:10 GMT Time
You arrive at C's flat, have a quick shower, freshen up your makeup and then leave for Heaven.
23:00 GMT Time
Charing Cross Station. You decide to make a detour and buy a cheeseburger at Burger King. This takes a while because as we all know, drunk people cannot order anything quickly.
23:30 GMT Time
Heaven has the most ridiculously long line. Luckily the four of you have tickets and go in pretty much straight away. Woohoo for being organised!
23:45 GMT Time
SATURDAY
24:00 GMT Time
And God, do I look like a mess in every, single photo.....
02:15 GMT Time
You start sending vibes to Tony to say, "Although you are an ass, you make beautiful music."
15:30 GMT Time
High Contrast touches you on the shoulder. Hmmm.....Not quite "wow" enough for you to vow to never wash your shoulder again. (That kinda thing is saved for special people like Groove Armada and Cyantific. No. Wait a minute, I change my mind. Make that Crazy Penis, not Cyantific.)
16:00 GMT Time
You start to feel guilty after seeing C nodding off on the couch. You wonder how the security people (armed with their small little torches) can tell the difference between falling asleep and drug-fucked-and-needing-some-air. It's time to head off home.
17:00 GMT Time
It's sleepy time!
12:30 GMT Time
You wake up, turn on your phone to find 7 miss calls from your aunt.
"Where have you been? We've been trying to call you all morning," she says.
"Em, sleeping..." You reply sheepishly.
"Do you want lunch? We're just ordering in Chinatown." she says.
You tell her that you will probably be another hour or so and hop into the shower.
14:00 GMT Time
You arrive in Chinatown with C to find that your aunty and cousin have now moved onto Oxford Circus for shopping. You and C go to C&R for chicken rice and soya bean drink.
15:00 GMT Time
Your aunty and cousin have decided that they are jet lagged and want to retire back to the College Hall for a nap. They ask you to meet them at the dorm.
15:30 GMT Time
It's time for coffee at Waterstone's as your aunt has somehow gotten lost, and is currently around Russell Square.
16:30 GMT Time
After a quick chat, it's time to head back to C's to shower & get ready for P's "Hurry the Fuck Up and Come Back Soon" farewell.
19:00 GMT Time
Beer.Music.Hall
While downing your pint of ale, you soon realise what you really miss about London. (Aside from P. of course - hahaha.) It's the whole "I-am-working-and-holidaying-traveller" vibe and the countless Aussies.
22:00 - 03:00 GMT Time
Life, as we know it, becomes a bit of a blur........ You somehow end up on the label of a beer at some point during the night.
SUNDAY
04:00 GMT Time
You somehow end up at somebody's place, and there is a crazy girl there telling everybody her whole entire life story. You start to wonder whether the, "Look-Over-There!-And-Running-Out-the-Door" technique would work.
You then start to remember why you hated London in the first place when you realise that:
a) The tubes aren't working, and you have no idea where the hell your night bus is.
b) You don't have enough money for a taxi.
06:00 GMT Time
You decide that the tube is now probably up and running and make your escape to London Liverpool St. A boy kindly escorts you there. "Don't most buses go to London Bridge from here?" he asks. You look at the bus stand and curse, as you now realise that (stupidly,) the bus you took to Beer.Music.Hall went past London Liverpool, so why didn't you stop to think that you could have taken the same bus home....? A closestblonde forever.
06:30 GMT Time
You wake up (poor) C and crawl into bed for 2 hours of shut eye.
10:30 GMT Time
Brunch time with aunty and cousin. You officially look like shit. Good coffee (finally!) though.
14:00 GMT Time
After walking through Regent Park and a trip to Decathalon, it's time to say goodbye and head back to C's to pack up and head to the airport.
16:30 GMT Time
Sitting on the floor at Stansted airport, officially way too early again.
22:30 GMT Time
Back in sleepy M town, tucked in bed. Don't wanna go to work.........WAAAAAAH..............
