Sadly, the clouds failed to part over Sussex for the umpteenth Sinister Brighton Beach & Booze Fest but that didn't stop us having FUN. Liz and I arrived fashionably late due to Other Commitments. No-one, however, is as fashionable as the lovely Ian, who arrived immedately after us and began stalking us down the hill from the station. He didn't have CHEESE SCONES though. A brief pause in the pub with picnic mum Archel, Ken, Stefano and RobynFromCanada was followed by a drizzly trip to the pier where we sadly concluded that we're all too grown up for fairground rides - especially rub ones that you get on piers. On the other hand, there was a pub with a big screen that showed the same 5 pop videos in a loop and KARAOKE next door that you could hear in the bogs. And PIMMS in JUGS. As night fell, we retreated inland, via the chip shop, to the more pleasant environs of THE CRICKETERS PUB. Luckily, there were no actual cricketers present, leaving people free to drink, talk about the Captain Caveman and do unwise things with tequila (ie drink it). With tiredness and illness working at our systems we left fashionably early. waving goodbye to the south coast, we returned, on a soopah-fast train, to the smelly capital and the remainder of the scones.
