Strange drinks policies

I went to a wedding in Nokia yesterday. Despite me falling comically on the snow afterwards it was a good party. It's possible that my fall added to the general fun. The stand up comedian seemed to be quite funny but it was a bit wasted on me. Maybe my Finnish needs a bit more work before I can watch a comedy show!

After the party we all headed to Tampere and went to Hotel Ilves to go to the disco.



When we got in, I went to the bar to order drinks for myself and Ulriikka. "Two beers," I said. "Who is the other drink for?" the barmaid asked. "Me and my girlfriend," I said. "Where is she?" the barmaid said. "Somewhere over there," I say pointing vaguely towards the rest of the bar. "I can only sell you the drinks if you are both standing here," she said... At around the same time, one of our friends was being made to drink the shot he had ordered before he could have the beer he had ordered at the same time. It was all very bizarre and nobody had ever known it to happen before. Aside from that it was a really bad nightclub so we left and had some pizza at home.

After waking up after only 5 hours sleep I drifted in and out of sleep for most of today. I was finally able to call myself hangover free after a Trafalgar Burger from Soho whilst watching Manchester City finally play well away from home - I didn't go for beer though so maybe I wasn't completely over the excess. I'm off to buy some falafel-pitas now to chase away the last remnants of roughness.
