Great Weekend

MAD MANDY MOANS

Great Weekend

It started with a table quiz at the Royal British Legion on Friday night. I nearly died when the starter question was, " What is the first letter of the Russian alphabet?". That Hugh and Mark are bad to the bone and I love them. I put something down for a laugh and it turned out to be correct. Go figure!

Moi was Billy no Mates as I arrived late. No change there then. I will be late for my own demise TeeHee.

Anyway, it was great craic and I believe I acquitted myself well. Thanks to the help of Mad Mandy's Bar Flies who happened to be there at half time. Every time I got an answer from someone else I had to pay up to Martha. You are a sweetheart Babe. Some peeps kept coming up to the bar to look at my answers so my team had to go native and we still got thrashed. Don wouldn't let me touch the winners cup so I tried to abscond with it when he wasn't looking. Got caught.

All credit to the Branch for putting on a great fun night with prizes and delicious sandwiches. All in aid of the Poppy Appeal and the Welfare Fund. Ballymoney Legion do great work and they so need support. Cough up peeps when it's Poppy Appeal Week. Thank you in advance.

I have invented a new cocktail based on a Bloody Mary. It's called the Bloody Mandy and the Dude had to make them so I could have my five a day of celery, tomato juice, lemon juice and celery salt. Add Lea & Perrins Tomato & Worcester sauce and a vodka and goldslager. Lethal. Turns out is sparks my brain just before the legs go. I was firing on all cylinders for a while.

I had to come back on Saturday and the Dude produced one Michaela had left. Waste not want not I say and it went mental from then on.

The lads eventually let me into the inner sanctum aka the snooker room. They are very territorial about this abode. It is dim and in the olden days it would have been all smokey and film noir. Pity I am awful at snooker cause I canny reach. I've challenged them rascals to pool though. Small table.

Andy is in therapy. Dale is in therapy. Ken and Lee and Jason and yours truly madly went to the Golden Horse. I have never had such wonderful food. The buffet is unbelievable. My noodles were delicious and I didn't care that I was making a mess by sucking them up. The lads have great appetites. It's an eat all you want feast and they won't need fed again until next Saturday. I am so going back.

We then had a delicious fresh fruit dessert. I thoroughly recommend the Golden Horse. We are so lucky to have great eateries in our wee toon. Try them all and enjoy.

 

The night was soured by two brothers fighting outside the Bush Tavern. One took a terrible beating. There is no need for that carry on. The wee lad will probably be scared for life. Thankfully the police and ambulance service were on the ball in no time at all. Wise up freaky peeps.
