Bridesmaid Bar Crawl....

So the group do this Leo Sayer (all-dayer for the Yanks) every year called the Bridesmaid bar crawl (BMBC). Because the yanks are all in a million weddings each year (the Val for instance has 7 weddings this summer) they all have a ridiculous number of wedding dresses. The concept is that everyone dresses up - drinks all day, plays games and drinks some more.

The venue for the crawl is Southport (which is right handy as that's mine and the Mussers road) so we hosted the breakfast. Lots of the pups came over and we ate scrambled eggs in little pastry baskets (made by Chef Lindsay) bagels, bacon, sausages and we drank black velvets (champers and Guinness) yummm!
We then all paraded down the street to High Bar (a great Bar with a rugby theme, so the Brits liked it!) In there was played flip cup. Now this was my first flip cup experience and I totally sucked.

Now those of you that know me, know I'm not happy when I'm crap at something and having me on the team was like having a handicap. In fact I really was a Joey. So I decided to put myself in the corner and practice for a bit, until I could learn the feeling of a successful flip. Unfortunately I have still not managed to learn such motor skills - but that's got to improve over the next two years right?
This is a picture of the winning team (not that I really contributed....crap bags). N.B Cousin Stu - I reckon at the big wedding we should play Beer Pong and flip cup!

As we walked down the street the granny Musser and I decided to wave like the queen - it was mighty funny, but I think the Americans just thought we were special. Although we did teach them the calorie free wave.

After High Bar we rolled to Newport, Justin's, Schoolyard & Wellingtons. I may have missed a pub in there, because it goes a bit blurry. There were fish bowls - men dressed as women and even chuffing Mrs Doubtfire! Wang was one of the first casualties (he fell over) and everyone else lasted pretty well.

All in all - The Bridesmaid Bar Crawl was Bingo Bongo!
