Cork- A Christmas Adventure

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008
So went to Cork at the weekend & all I can say is… what a weekend!!

Getting there was such a laugh! The train leaves at 2p.m & Susie & I are a the Luas stop at Jervis at 1.40. The Luas is coming & I am putting my money in the train when I start panicking & Susie is like ‘c’mon lesley’ & my money falls to the ground & it is like ‘Noooooooo!! Losing precious time. Panic! Panic!’ and then Susie’s ticket is printing & the Luas comes and the Luas leaves & we are still standing there. Disaster!
We eventually arrive at Hueston praying that the train is delayed & JOY, the train gods are smiling on us, the train is ten minutes delayed! We leg it to the ticket lady, who for some strange reason knew my name, kinda freaked out by that! (So if you know anyone who works in Hueston & could possibly know me, let me know yeah) And we leg it to platform 5 & jump in the queue & what happens?…. Mark goes to Connolly Station & we miss the train & have to wait for an hour for the next train
So sitting on the train & I don’t know Shane & it appears he had no need for clothes at the weekend (Shane you know it is true) cuz all he had in his bag is beer! Like 1 can of Bud, 2 can of Bud, 3 can of Bud, 4 can of Bud….. 8 cans of Bud. But was coola had a good old giggle on the train, oh & is Will Smith a rapper or a pop artist. The debate of the trip down…

The entire weekend was such a giggle. The talking train on the toilet, walking tipsy-ly to the food bar (how can you possibly walk straight on a moving train!) Managans- the skanger bar I mean everyone there where like skangers… with skanky gold trains & really bad tans with sticky floors & mirrors everywhere. But all in all the night was such a good night. But Baby Guinness…. always get it made don’t buy the pre made ones!

Vibe & Scribe 3 floors of books, CDs & DVDs. I lost hours in there, it was a bit like heaven. And the shop next door, sucked in by the friendly guy from I think Hawaii. He was sooooo funny though Susie thought he was mental. Such a stoner like.. Though he told me my style was, I quote ‘pimpin’ but he recommended Gorbys.
And Gorbys! THE BEST NIGHT CLUB! Why do you build me up… Buttercup baby just to let me down & mess me around & then worst of all you never call baby when you say you will but I love you still All the good tunes in Gorbys & a very true night of good old fashioned Dancing Your Socks Off! Plus we got a lesbian love show free of charge from the people beside us

Though I could of done with more than the few hours sleep I got on Saturday night or the abuse I suffered from Shane T heheheheeee……
