Notes from a barstool
Monday, May 30, 2005
  Join Jim and Dave W (both hammers fans) at the Varsity to watch the Championship playoff final between West Ham & Preston: winners to be promoted to the Premiership. Nick also jonis us towards the end of th esecond half (obviously not a hammers fan).

West Ham do the business and fairly effortlessly pull off a 1-0 win. It's all they need though; Dave and Jim are over-the-moon. West Ham will be back with the big boys next season.

After the game and some fiddling aboutin order to drop my car back home, I meet up with Dave W, Jim, Nick & Jo at the Royal Oak. Jim is absolutely hammered and only sticks around for about twenty mins, before stumbling into a taxi to go back to Sara's place; lucky Sara! Nick & Jo head for a meal, leaving Dave W; who is about one pint away from being in the same state that Jim was in! We hang out in Guildford for a bit before Dave admits defeat and we decide to call it.

Thankfully the early finish means I should be spared a hangover for my return to work tomorrow.
