Monopoly Pub Crawl

And here's how I met again my friends Neill and Ben ! No darts this time, but a specific version of the Pub Crawl. The principle is to hit a pub in all streets of the English Monopoly.




Every participant is assigned to a street, and when it's his pub he drinks twice as much as the others, and gets to chose the drink in the next pub. Oh, of course, there's the community chest card for each pub.




Thank you Vickie for the double whisky w/ Canada dry !

That's the kind of things you can see when you walk through Mayfair!

What a moment of Nostalgy as we went through the pub were we first met ! We were crying out loud, and don't tell me it's because we were drunk...



Thankfully I only joined in the middle and left before the end, didn't wanna miss my flight to Nigeria the next morning. But guys, I wanna do it again !!!



Rendez-vous for the beer festival you told me about on the 8th of August !

And thanks for the great pictures, Mieke ! Bottles !

It's done ! and it's a success ! the first BBQ at the 654 ! Only Rodolfo, my Italian housemate, and myself, but it was delicious... at least once we ended our struggle to get some proper fire, but we had beers to wait !

The Harder They Come

I went to watch my first Music hall, with Elsa ! I would never think this could happen, but it's a very special one ! The harder they come, famous movie with Jimmy Cliff.
It was damn good, with some kick ass reggae live band on stage !


And after it, so fun, we met Ihab in the street ! of course then, we had to go for a pint !

Koni and the Bastille

And so Koni arrives in London ! Two days only, but he knows too well how to order a round !
Saturday evening, French national day celebration at Charles de Gaulle lycée, in South Kensington. Champagne to celebrate Elsa's leaving do ! and a drink at the Fudge then !




On Sunday, when I asked him if he wants to visit London, he replied "yes, the pubs", and so we went.



We even met 3 english guys and spent the whole evening playing darts and having pints with them ! And watch my Robin Hood special move !




Luke, Neill, Ben, it calls for a rematch ! but why did I have to work the next day...
