Wednesday 16th December

Something is going wrong here on my run in to Christmas...A trip to the Old Grapes and no beer. Just had a pint of water with my mutant chicken (aka (an abnormally large) half chicken and mash with peas and gravy).

Tuesday 15th December

excellent food and company in Yaki Soba in Chorlton. Chose green tea over japanese lager...

Monday 14th December

Quick pint of Guinness after work with James and Lee - very interesting conversation. love it when a plan comes together.

Next stop - a pot of tea in All-Bar-One. Cheers Sarah for that, and you and Russ for the company. Romantic Russ on top form - if you did that for me mate .... ;o)

Sunday 13th December

Felt good again. no beer today though. day of rest and what not.

Saturday 12th December

For 14 (or more) pints on friday i felt pretty good.

Good enough to start again at about 20 past 6 in the Hogshead in Didsbury...several pints of guinness and a Newcastle Brown Ale ;o) with Mr Loukaides and his mates on a LARGE one.

A walk through The Met (not even worth trying to go to the bar), quiet pint in The Railway then some Sailor Jerry in M20...not had one before. all good.

Friday 11th December

first full weekend back on it...

started off in Grill on the Alley with a chicken burger and two bottles of asahi, then onwards for a pint each in Sam's, Thomas' and Corbieres. (Guinness, all three)

Quick turnaround at home then back into town. 3 guinness in The Old Grapes, one in The Old Nags Head, one in Beluga, one in The Temple, one in Odder, the "some more" in Space...happy days.

Managed to see Dave and Dave on their xmas drinks outing, Mr Dawson with his work colleagues and Emma Louise, Judith and Aldo with their work mates.

Wednesday 9th December

A quiet night. just two pints of lager in the markets and a bowl of hot pot.
