New Year Edinburgh Trip
Just a quick update; went to Edinburgh for New Year again this year had good time. Left on the Friday morning to get the train to Edinburgh and for once it was actually pretty quick, very few stops between Hull and Edinburgh meant the Journey only took around 3:30. I would just like to take this moment to congratulate richard for failing to book SEATS on trains, i think a lesson has been learned for future trips :D
Anyway we got to edinburgh where i met Kat (richards housemates boyfriend) - yes thats his nickname his real name is mouriano. He would be spending the new year with us. He was actually an amusing guy whos idea of chatting to females was slightly less than subtle but nevertheless made for an entertaining weekend. Went out drinking with some of richards friends on the friday night but most of them were "boring" which left the 3 of us to go to a nightclub called "Espionage" reminded me kinda like position at home with multiple levels with different rooms etc. After copious amounts of alochol chatting and dancing not to mention the odd moment of "my god shes an angel" we eventually headed home at about 3:30.
New Years Eve started at about 3pm in the afternoon after we had all managed to crawl out of our beds and nurse the hangovers, we went straight to the concert about 9ish it seemed less busy than the year before but soon became full. The enclosure tickets were well worth the extra money as it meant we could actually stand and move around rather than slipping around on the muddy embankment like some kinda breakdancing circus act. Kat brought some kinda columbian alcohol in a tetrapack like orange juice, it tasted like sambuca though took some getting used to but was pretty good.
The bands this year were good, KT Tunstall and Texas were both great with the final texas song being a cover of a scissor sisters song who we had seen the previous year. We also met some girls from blackpool who were good fun so spent the concert and new year with them. It seems every year we always meet some interesting people to let the new year in with, who knows maybe the whole place is filled with friendly Interesting people?! hmm maybe not.
Heres some pictures taken from my mobile so there not good quality but saying i forgot my digital camera like a retard...;
The firework display was as good as ever with the constant sound of bangs for the 5 minutes after midnight, the atmosphere there has to be experienced to be understood really.
Got home on the 2nd of January after a long train journey back and now to top it off im full of flu and at work! Typical, back at the opticians on saturday to have the "teach" appointment for my contact lenses which basically means they teach you how to put the things in or in other words there gonna teach me how poke my eye without damaging it i guess :)

Always glad to see a new post up Dean.
Cat is spealt as in the feline way ;) but I ain't a clue about his real name.
We really did have another great New Year; it's becomming harder each year to beat the previous. I'll start looking into a ski/snowboarding holiday, for next year. If we're lucky we might be able to get in early and get it slightly cheaper.
Sorry that you're not well and still in work working away. I suppose you did say you were feeling almost hayfeverish during the weekend?
Keep in touch Dean,
Rich
