"Berm"ingham 2010 - A pictorial diary......... (Pic Heavy !!!!)

[bobafett]

13:00 - Joff and Carlos pick me up in Joff's van 

15:00 - Joff get's us lost in Brum since he is using "Joff-Nav" rather than the more widely accepted "Sat-Nav" 

15:10 - Joff cut's everyone up on the roundabout and in a series of wheel spins and swerves nearly gets us shot by some Brum mafia in their blacked out low rider 

15:20 - We're there ! Roll through "the mailbox" and get told off straight away  but sample some nice brownies on the way - yum !

15:30 - meet the lads, beers - move on to the next bar.........

16:00 - We go to "the smallest bar in the world" beers, beers, beers........








16:30 - one of the lads jumps on the back of some blokes barge and rides along for about 40 yards without him noticing - classic ! 

17:10 - Joff buys Glen's redline 

17:30 - Quick pit stop for a photo............




18:30 - Old school freestyle sesh breaks out..........(more beers)










































18:50 - Brummie shows us his scare-the-kids face 





19:00 - Pimp Daddy turns up with the boys asking about a man in a white van with bikes on the back that cut him off on a round about ? 





19:00 - One of the lads bails down the steps and hurts his head    (Hope he's alright any news ?  )

19:30 - The clam.......




20:00 - Me, Carl n Joff go for a sit down gourmet burger - fookin spot on 

20:50 - We bump into Brummie and he tells us who's left and where they are - whilst him and Joff chat, me and Carl go for a roll round inside the ICC building and after 5 mins or so rolling round on the polished tiles and plush carpet, 2 security guards come legging it after us  We dash outside shouting "move it" and poor brummie isn't even on his bike 

21:00 - We find Jase and a few of the lads at "flappers old mans club"  Del, Matt and Greg had apparantly gone for a ruby - Joff says "we're out of here lets go see some skirt !" 




21:30 - We bump into Del, Matt and Greg (Jase stayed at "ye olde flapper" for his noodles  )

21:40 - We actually blag our way into a pub-club and the bouncer lets us stick the bikes where the punters normaly queue later on. We were in a top totty spotting spec ! 







22:40 - We try our luck in the next place but the bouncer says "no trainers" Joff has an idea............

 





22:40 - Joff. Greg and Del toy with the idea of "pink n black" for their next build scheme...........





22:45 - Carl gets caught on flood-lit security camera taking a p!ss against the ICC 

22:50 - we do the "get under the road barrier before it closes gauntlet" and the toilet roll bunny hop sesh breaks out..........




23:00 - With no bars or pubs prepared to serve "1980's clothed trainer wearing middle aged drunks on kids bikes" we head back to "the smallest bar in the world" for one last try - but they are just closing up  I put a sob story to the 2 Polish girls behind the bar and it works ! Carl buys everyone a last drink 




23:25 We spot some geese 





23:30 Last roll..........











23:35 Security eye us up as we enter the mailbox again ( I couldn't resist a cheeky roll round inside again )





23:40 We take over the escalators 







23:45 We say our farewells to Del, Matt and Greg

00:00 We set off back

1:00 Pit stop on the M6 - Joff doesn't like the look of the bogs so does a sh!t in the car park instead  (only kiddin' Joff I couldn't resist mate - you do like to give a caption enticing photo mate  )




1:50 Home ! Knackered ! 

6:30 Alarm goes off for work !  4 1/2 hours sleep and a 12 pint hangover
