Champion...... The - Wonder...... Bike!

Excuse the pause, it's been a rather mad topsy turvey few days.

What can I say, Wales played England at rugby. England Won, Wales Lost - four words in possibly the most brilliant order if you are an Englishman and a  rugby fellow from the wonderful City of Bath. One of our former players was Captain and fair play, he lead us to a victory.

The problem though with Wales vs England is that this means I have to have a drink...... Not a Gatorade, I'm talking about 20 bottles of 6.4% Chang beer, I'm told a fair few black Sambucas and I found myself in a club called Laguna with a Policeman waving his torch into my eyes as I was trying to show him that I had my wrist stamped..... Yes I thought he was a bouncer and apparently the club had been raided...... So I am then outside the said club at 3am trying to find my bike, a friend asked me what it looked like, and my reply "Basically, it looks like a bike", I was pretty drunk..... Anyway, this bike..... it isn't really a bike, it's so much more than a bike, it is my trusty stallion, my "Champion The Wonder Bike". I found it and she got me back to The Happy Elephant, where I proceeded to find more beers and watched the game via MSN text totally unaware that had I simply turned the tv on I would have caught the last ten minutes.

Upon the final whistle I could hear Champion's hooves doing whatever horses do when they get excited and I knew she wanted to party on as much as I did. So off we went in search of the next wave of fun.....  With me happily singing the theme tune at the top of my voice, for what is the 7km loop all the way back to her stables and my room, where I woke up a few hours later with a very sore head.

I wouldn't ever recommend that you drive around on a scooter/horse in the state I was in, and I shan't be doing very many more times, however, I do take the greatest of care though, and Champion would never let me down!
