    Partying in Cherie’s gob

    By Will 2 years ago, at the end of September, Comments

    I’m so eloquent with my titles on this blog aren’t I? All class. Anyway, just seen this photo - a birthday party in the Lord’s media centre (some say it resembled Cherie Blair’s rather unnaturally wide mouth. Hence the title. You got that though).

    Lord’s is where it’s at these days…out with the dusty traditionalists and in with, hang on…women? WOMEN? They’ll be letting them vote, introducing pay equality and all sorts next!

    Fred drinks for England

    By Will 3 years ago, mid-September, Comments

    Great article in today’s Times: Flintoff drinks for England! During the celebrations, it was obvious he was mullered, but the article details the exact quantities. What a champion.

    Flintoff booze-watch

    6.15pm Champagne

    8pm - midnight Beer

    Midnight - 4am Gin & Tonics

    4am - 7am Vodka & Cranberry juice

    7am Beer for breakfast

    8am - 1pm Intermittent champagne-swigging

    3pm Beer in Tony Blair’s back-garden

    Great performance, that. A drinking-session of nearly 21 hours is truly inspirational! And the article ends with this:

    Clearly thrilled with helping to bring home the Ashes, he told reporters that he was also being awarded the ancient honour of the freedom of his home town, Preston.

    “That means I can drive a flock of sheep through the town centre, drink for free in no less than 64 pubs and get a lift home with the police when I become inebriated,” he said. “What more could you want?”

    What are the odds on someone appearing on TV in the next few days, claiming it’s irresponsible of him to be so drunk on national TV? Jonathan Agnew said there was a “broadcasting ban” on interviewing, which he himself found a bit sad. I hope no-one kicks up a fuss about his partying - and if they do, they should be forced to party with big Fred for a 21-hour session :)
