Well as some of you may know I went to visit Hadrian for the weekend a couple of weeks ago. I've been meaning to post about it but have been kind of ill. As I'm feeling lots better now I thought I'd make a post about it! It was a great weekend, and it was great to finally meet Hadrian after gabbing for years on here! He's a top lad and if anyone else ever gets the chance to meet him then you definitely should take it! He's exactly the same in real life as he is on the forum.
I went down by train, which I actually kind of enjoy. You get to sit back in relax, chill and if you get bored there's always people you can chat to. Although times are definitely different in the UK these days as most people seem reluctant to chat shit with total strangers, which feels pretty odd. I left the local train station (well, local-ish, it's about 15-20 miles away) at just after 1pm. In true Welsh fashion the weather was piss poor when I was leaving, meaning I had to wear a thick coat. Of course, England was going through a heatwave which meant having to change to a different coat once I'd left the hills and sheep! lol London of course was London. What should have been a 10 minute tube journey ended up being about half an hour due to the tube having some problems functioning in the heat. One of those cases of every train you jump on puts out an announcement 2 minutes later saying it had broken down and you'd have to take an alternate route. Typical really, but what can you do.
So I eventually arrived about an hour late. Hadrian came up to meet us at the train station and we wandered back down to his, stopping at the offy en-route of course! heh The town Hadrian lives in is actually pretty nice, or at least what I saw of it anyway. And it felt oh so good to actually be able to read the road signs and understand what the people around me were actually saying! Although I got a little panicky when we were arriving at Hadrians, brought on by wondering whether he was Krug in disguise when he told me he lived in The Last House on the Left.
Hadrian had got a load of beers in, but unfortunately I had to decline as I don't really drink beer these days. Prefer my Smirnoff Ices and Wicked Blues. Yeah the alcohol content isn't as high and you don't get quite as drunk, but it makes me nice and mellow instead of wanting to go out and give it large!
I brought some weed and a bong with me as well obviously. Sadly though, Hadrian doesn't smoke and I wasn't able to get as much as I'd hoped so didn't have enough to make any food with it. I got wrecked though, unsurprisingly.
We spent most of the weekend just having a laugh, I took over his Wii like it was a desert country with oil and I was the US, we watched a bit of telly and gabbed alot! I know it don't sound all that interesting, but it was a definitely a great weekend. I've always felt like Hadrian was a mate so it was good to finally meet up in person. Hopefully the next time I visit we'll go out and hit the tiles. I hear Essex women are pretty easy so... Oh yeah, and I molested Cat Orc. She wanted it though, waving that stubby little tail invitingly!
All in all it was a great weekend, and I'm hoping to get to do it again soon!
