We're staying where?!

So, 17B turns out to be a middle chair in the narrowest seat ever. However, it was an exit row so the legroom was nice. I was inbetween a not-so-thin man to my left and a man who slept to his left on my right. It wasn't ideal, but they were alright blokes and we had a good chat. Then I slept for half the ride and I was fine.


So 2 chicken dinners, 3 hours of sleep, 1 crosant, and a few glasses of orange juice later I landed in Manchester Airport.
After waiting for a little while (apparently Win had a long night before and was running a little late) I got picked up and we rode in a taxi, on the left side of the road back to our humble abode. Ed, Win's (for all intents and purposes) step Dad was there too, however he had accompanied Win the night before and was somewhat uncommunicative aka, passed the hell out for most of the ride. So when we on the highway, thinking of all the excitement that may await. I asked simply-
"So, uh, are there any pubs in walking distance of where we're staying?"
"Well, actually, we're currently living above a Pub"
~"Wait, what?"
"Yea, we'll be staying above a pub" Ed said
"And currently Little Osama is in your bed right now." Added Win.

Now let me explain.....

So, Ed's much younger brother, Fraser (pronounced Frazer) has a best friend named Jimmy. Jimmy's Auntie just married Osama Bin Laden's son, Omar... Making Jimmy, Osama's Nephew... SO basically, I'm living above a pub, will be drinking every night with Osama's nephew and can start drinking as early as eleven. (Oh and it gets better, Jimmy's real name is Ben, so it would be Ben Bin Laden!!)

So we got back to the Inn (see pictures below) went upstairs, met Jimmy, Imagine the scrawniest 19 year old Brit with Tattoos, who now happens to be related to Osama Bin Laden, and Fraser, who is considerably bigger but not fat and has size 17 US feet. They are still passed out. So we go for a walk. After walking about a mile we stumble accross a little dinner esq place. The menu reads things like Bacon, Sausage, Onions all melted in Cheese, to Spam and Egg- I opt for the Sausage, Egg Chips (Fries) and Beans.... Needless to say, it was Beans, a over easy egg, fries and griled sausage... Delicious... NOT! We'll it was ok, at least it was filling...

So we go and get back to the Inn
Jimmy and Frazer finally wake up and get going and Win and I start to chill.
Then around 11pm local, we decide a nap is in order. We nap, I wake up at 1, no one is there, Win left, I figure he'll be back, so I go back to sleep. I wake up at 2:30 with a nice case of cotton mouth, Win is still nowhere in sight. So what do I do? I go down and have a drink of course!


I start with a half pint of John Smith's with the two quid that Win gave me- then find out that they take Debit- aw Cheers! And have me a little liquid lunch known as a pint of Guinness. Now the beer here is better to begin with already- but the guinness- we'll, bars have to get Certified to serve it correctly- and this bar was. So I had my lunch and that about brings me to now.... So now I'm off to continue the adventure- and its only the first couple hours... I'll keep you in the loop though.

Outside the Pub




PS- Oh yea, the place is called the Church in because its right outside this massive old church built in 1195. So, you exit the church, and there's the bar!!!!

The Church [It literally right there]
