RE-OPENED MIC

Open Mic night returned to the Cranley Hotel last night as part of the Easter celebration, in combination with Shaun H’s 20th birthday - the first time Open Mic night has occurred in the Hotel for just over a year. Thinking that I was still in Venice, it came as a bit of a surprise to Shaun, and indeed music man Sparky that I turned up, but what promised to be a debauched night turned out to be exactly that.

After murdering several songs and being harassed by a pikie, Drambuie, Sambuca, Jack Daniels, Scotch, Foster’s and Beck’s all flowed and I have a very hazy recollection of the latter part of the evening. Still, I remember Shunta falling over and taking two stools with him, I can remember singing George Formby’s ‘I’m a W*nker’ to the entire pub and I seem to recall giving Shaun the bumps and a consequential bout of concussion.

What I can’t remember, however, is leaving the pub, getting back to Shunta’s, having ‘PRICK’ written on my forehead in permanent marker AGAIN, and having my nails on my left hand painted in a lovely ruby red AGAIN. Still, I managed to stumble back home around 4am and pass out. Just like the old days.
