Cocktails a go go

Marvin called us (Clitty, Daddy Dick and myself) up for a quick drink around 6pm so that we could have a proper talk about Will's unexpected death. We met up in Comptons for the first round and then moved onto Element (previously known as Sanctuary) to cheer ourselves up with some cocktails.

Experimented with Green Pansy cocktails which I’ve never tried before. It was nice even though the ginger taste was quite overpowering. When we were asked by the cute-ish muscley bar boy how we were going to pay for the drinks, Marvin and myself pointed to Clitty straight away. Unexpectedly Clitty stunned us by handing his debit card over to the bar boy and agreed to starting up a tab. Now this was most certainly one of those rare occurrences and exceptionally astonishingly moments which will be etched into my non-cocktail mind. Each time Clitty went to the toilet we ordered more cocktails. Whilst sipping our cocktails we looked through the Amsterdam photos reminiscing about Will, laughed about some of the highlights they had on some of their holidays and talked about double ended dildos.

Following £71 worth of cocktails and heading towards alcoholic paralysis we moved onto
Busaba Eathai for dinner. Queued for un minute (which would never ever happen on a Friday or Saturday night) before being seated. We sat on a table with three French couples. Was hoping there would be one single available French male who we could hook up with our sweet French friend, Lola. The Frenchies were very friendly and seemed to enjoy our lively presence. Daddy and Marvin departed after dinner due to old people tiredness whilst me and Clitty moved onto Balans CafĂ© for late night dessert. I think one of the camp bald poofs from the last Big Brother series popped in with his posse. It looked like him but didn’t sound like him (not that I was paying much attention).
