DAY 1
Sunderland away and a weekend in Newcastle !! The third installment off the jolly boys outing !! Planned in June, booked in September, done in March !! This is the one the lads have been looking forward 2 !!
There''s the smallest crowd ever for a jolly boys outing, just 4 off the lads make the trip, Fletch, Craig, Big Eck and Jimmy, this however does not put the lads off as they have been looking forward to this since the fixtures where released !!
The day starts with a meeting at the Whateley household, Jimmy arrives soon followed by Craig. Fletch and Craig group drop Daisy and Ruby to the doctors before heading for brecky. The day begins a slight dissapointment as the cafe dosent provide Craig with crusty bread and forgets Fletch''s bread and butter annd Jimmys tea, however this will not be putting the lads off, they will still be heading to Newcastle !! Fletch and Craig pick up and drop off Daisy and Ruby before heading off to get Jimmy. The 3 are now together and head to Tamworth services to pick up big eck.
A nice smooth journey is completed and within about 40 minutes the lads arrive to meet Big eck but completely lose interest in the legal and general legend when they see what top his mrs is wearing !! Fletch has a quick wee wee as he is absolutely bursting as he has been trying to hydrate himself on the way with a big bottle off water and makes the lavortary just in time, uninpressed with Jims porky that there are no toilets at this services !! Rich says his goodbyes and jumps in, the lads are now off to geordie land !!
A bit off black eyed pee''s on the way to get the lads in the mood before Craig stops to spend over £80 on petrol, prices today !! Another wee wee break and the lads set off again talking about how much they are looking forward to the wkend. One final stop at Scotch Corner (cant believe we made 3 stops), a final wee wee and the last bit off the journey is completed and the lads arrive in geordie land shprtly after 3pm !!
A quick park up at the hotel and the lads get a hours car parking ticket as dont fancy paying the £16 a day the hotel charge !! The lads soon check in and have a quick chat with the friendly receptionist and hotel manager who compliments Blues''s achievements this season !! The friendly receptionist informs the lads there a car park that they own round the corner at a bargain £14 for the wkend so the lads decide this is the best option, Craig demands some change for the car park from the receptionist who kindly points out Craig will have to cough up some money first. Big eck is on hand to offer some change after his £53 fruit machine winnings he gained at Tamworth services. We havent mentioned Jimmy yet have we, well I think Jimmy is just focusing on not taking a man to bed on this jolly boys outing !!
The lads head to there room and get a quick shower and get changed before they hit the toon, Fletch and Craig are sharing in room 561, Big eck and Jimmy in 552, sure you didn''t need the numbers but who cares !!
The lads are soon changed, they head to the car to move it, Craig as blind as a bat without his glasses struggles to do a simple left and the lads are forced to do a tour off the block before Craig eventually gets his eyesight together and parks up !!
A quicke burger kings is called for as the lads get there energy together for the night ahead !! After filling there big bellies, and talking off bellies Craig and Jimmy are putting on some wait the group head for the goose to meet big ecks Newcastle breadwins !! The lads are sound although a little hard to understand at times, the lads have a laugh and learn all about Big ecks tactics off getting birds to lie on the grass and look up to the starts. A bit off banter takes place and big eck informs his geordie pals he would give Mrs Jim and Mrs Big Al a good seeing two. The lads spot a sign on the wall sating breakfast £1.99, some off the lads are imprssed, Chris is in heaven thinking he can sink 5 off these tomorrow, Jim has his doubts !!
The brummies and geordies leave and head for long bar where you can win discounts on the drinks by playing the press the button game. The lads walk past the famous Sam Jacks which was so impressive on the Newcastle December 2007 away trip. Fletch is dissapointed to see Lennons bar which is a old favourite off his has gone and been replaced !!
Long Bar is soon letting the lads in and the drinks start to flow. Big ecks pals get him a couple off the most revolting shots you have ever tasted and the big man is soon recked, a couple are brought for the other brummie lads who also find them revolting. Another mare off big ecks arrives with a pretty young lady who is amazingly a Wolves fan but a geordie !!! Must have been something wrong with her !! Craig persuades everyone to hit the Jaga bombs and the lads are putting them away at 7:30, Fletch gets a round in just before the 8pm cut off point for the button game and hits the 2 for 1 !! Its great news for Craig, Jimmy and Big Dave (Big Eck does not want anymore Jaga bombs) and the lads have 2 each !!
Big eck becomes frustrated that the geordie lads havent found any eye candy and persuades the brummies to leave. The group and if im honest im not sure where we went next, a look in union bar but it dosent look too impressive so the group head off, really cant remember where we went next but the group where around the gate and amazing big eck and craig, usually so good at spotting scams get blagged in to buying the worst VIP rist bands you have ever seen, £5 each, £20 for 4 and the lads got absolutely nothing for them although free entry is guaranteed in to mood, but will the lads get in or will big eck confess to a secret job there ????????????????
The lads head in to Lloyds bar, a favourite off Jims and Fletch''s on previous trips and the geordies are soon back with the lads and putting the drink away !!
Lloyds bar will always be rememberd to many as high five bar as big eck high fives anything in a skirt !! The lads and Wolves fan hovver around the dance floor and are soon persuaded to purchase a few keyrings with there ugly mugs on !! The drinks keep flowing and big eck keeps high fiving. The group decide its time to move on and hit move. Fletch, Jimmy, Craig and Big eck leave. Fletch and Jimmy get in but are soon called back by Craig. Big eck has had a few too many and can not get in. Not happy with this the big man releases a barrage off abuse on the doorman and then confesses to being a journalist for the sun and begins to film them with his mobile phone. The doorman being worried along with the gate security begin to escort big eck out, big eck is not actually filming but also not happy, Fletch points out he will take big eck out (not on a date) but the security and doormen are not having none off it it and continue to escort him out. The group get outside and as big eck gets to the door one final mouthfull is met with a boot out the door, Fletch manages to get a slight hold on him and keep him up. Big eck still not giving us tries to get back in another door and is again sent packing.
The group relise they have to move on, thank god they have there VIP Superstar wrist band to get them in anywhere. The lads hit Idols and before they know it big eck has dissapeared (he has again been kicked out but only for his previous offence). Jimmy, Fletchand Craig have a couple before leaving and hitting Sam Jacks. A couple in there and generally Newcastle has become a bit quiet now, the lads head for food then pay a rediculous £6 for a 2 minute taxi ride home. A munch in Jims room and the lads call Rich who is now down quayside, the lads tired and drunk retire to bed a lot earlier than planned, at least they will be in a decent state
for day 2 !!
DAY 2
Day 2 begins with a wake up call from the maids about half 8, bit early to clean your room really, do they expect people to be up and out at that time ???? The lads say no to the service and no again before they leave the room. Fletch rings Jimmy and has a chat about the previous night, Big eck has returned safely and cant remember going Idols or much off the previous night. A morning chat with Donna jogs his memory as he called her the previous night and he starts to put 2 and 2 together. The big man tells how he collapsed on his bed and fell off while on the phone to Donna the previous night !! The group get themself together and head out for breakfast.
The cafe next to the hotel isn''t good enough for Fletch who wants to get some air so they head in to town. A stop at the newsagents a few quid lost in the bookies and the lads decide to head for brecky, unable to decide where to go they decide to head to the goose which did the outstanding 1.99 breakfast. The lads order and are told there is a 20 minute wait, whats 20 minutes for a good old brecky, however Jimmy is worried it wont be up to scratch as its so cheap !! Fletch guards the table and the others go off to play the quiz machine eyeing up a young lady on another table. Brecky for Big eck and Craig arrives first while Jimmy is still on the machine, after a couple off mouthfulls big eck points out the breakfast is revolting and cold and he cant eat it !! Craig however demolishes his brecky !! Jimmy comes back and as soon as big eck tells Jimmy the bad news Jimmy is already beaten and as far as his concerned his breakfast will be awful. Fletch and Jimmys brecky arrives and two mouthfulls in Jimmy is moaning like a girl and gives up. To be fair Fletch''s ent nice and he only eats 7 out off his 8 bacon baps !!
The lads leave and head to gregs for something else to improve the stomachs, Jimmy this times gets a incorrect order and is still fuming, Newcastle just isn''t Worcester.
Fletch has requested they pop in his hero''s Alan Shearer''s bar at St James park at some point and big eck decides it will be best to do this before the trip to Sunderland !! The lads head in and the bar is quality !! Its huge and has been plasmas''s on showing two different matches and soccer Saturday along with three pool tables !! Big eck and Fletch are the unlucky two to get the round in in Shearers bar which is £12.50 each, this isn''t too bad I guess in regards to prices these days but was alot more than the lads had been paying the previous night !! A few games off killer pool dominated by Fletch and Craig and shockingly played by Jimmy and then its on to one on ones. Fletch takes a rough ride losing two £5 each games two Craig and one to the poorest player in Shearer''s bar old Jimbo..................I mean bold Jimbo !!
The lads set off and Big eck heads back to the room to get some chocolates for Donna''s brother that he will be dropping in in Sunderland before the game. The lads pop in to a pub, cant remember what the pubs called but have to climb a million stairs to get to the pub, they do and have a couple more drinks soon joined again by big eck before heading for the metro.
The lads go for tickets and while putting money in the ticket machine Fletch begins to tell big eck and Craig about when he went to Fulham a couple off years and go and ordered the wrong ticket from the machine and ended up paying double, towards the end off the story Fletch''s pops out with ''Remember that Jim'' relising the Worcester legend was then not there Fletch casually replied ''Oh his gone'' much to the amusement off Craig and Big eck who where highly amused and having a good old giggle. Jimmy soon come back and also enjoyed mocking his close friend.
Down to the metro line and the lads relised it was about 13 minutes until there train was due, Fletch and Jimmy needing a wee wee headed to find the toilets, the lads found the massive escalotrs in front off them and decided a race was called for. Jimmy having the weight, height and speed advantage could not outdo his chubby little friend and a close race was scored a draw. The lads spent the next 5 minutes taking in massive gulps off air. After eventually finding some toilets the lads rushed back to the metro where they found big eck waiting for them and made it with a minute to spare.
On the metro the lads had a chat with a couple off blues fans, a couple off Newcastle fans and stared at a couple off darling geordies. Poor old big eck was just a little far away to work his magic. Big eck was then to produce hilarious line number 2 off the day. Fletch trying to annoy his olympic escalator title rival tried to irrate him by asking Jim how many stops where left everytime they stopped big eck then brilliantly said ''Come on Jim, 6 - 1, we''ve done this one before'' The line was also said so casually, it was like Jimmy was his son and Big eck was teaching him maths !! Absolutely hilarious, one off them where you had to be there !!
Eventually Jimmy counted down the stops and the lads arrived at the stadium off light stop. Jimmy and Eck tried to have a piddle but soon gave up as a old man walked up the road. Big eck wrestled his chocolates away from Fletch and went to drop them off to his brother in law. Fletch, Jimmy and Craig grabbed a quick burger and headed to the match.
Not ten minutes had gone and Blues where 2-0 down, Big eck arrived in and to inform the lads he had been informed by the stewards Blues where 2 down, a shocking start !! Blues settled in to the game then but Sunderland had there moments aswell, Joe Hart made a couple off excellent stops while Craig Gordan pulled off 3 or 4, it ended 2-0 at the break.
The lads headed down for a quiet half time beer and due to the lack off numbers it was a quiet beer, Craig stayed in his seat the kill joy !!
The second half begin and it was one way traffic, Birmingham battered the Sunderland goal, Jerome, Carr, Fahey, Benitez, Gardner all coming close but Craig Gordon was in inspired form in the Sunderland goal. Eventually a supurb through ball by Michael sent Jerome racing through and he cooly finished past Gordon to make the score 2-1. Again Birmingham pressed but could not find a equaliser and with about 10 minutes to go totally against the run off play Sunderland scored a third to kill the game !! The game ended 3-1 and Sunderland had got away with it big time !!
The lads headed back and boarded the train for geordie land. A chat on the way back and lads decided a trip to Whitney bay should happen so the plan was to go back, get some food, get changed and hit the town.
After arriving back the lads where a little slow with there taks and it was about 7pm when Fletch and Jimmy got back to the room so the lads decided to stay in Newcastle.
Craig and Big eck headed out first as Eck spotted a group off 30 birds walking in to a club, unfortunately for the eagle eyed bluenose they where all part off a show and the lads where unable to pull. After a couple off beers Fletch and Jimmy soon caught up and the lads where in business. A few beers at a few different places and the lads headed to a uni bar, after wasting a couple off hours chatting to a couple off birds the birds went and the lads where back out on the toon. Newcastle was amazing !!!!!!!!!! Hot birds everywhere and never have I seen so many HOT BIRDS in one place, it was another world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lads headed to a pub and found big ecks old mate outside who luckily got the lads in free and saved them a fiver each which was good as the place was poo !!!! Eck provided one more bit off entertainement by trying to het back in the place the previous night he had been turned away from it almost worked until a bouncer reconised him, Craig and Fletch where left giggling as they where further back and watch a impression off eck doing his filming the previous nice, a plesent handshake and the lads moved on. A chat with a big whale for about 10 minutes with smelly breath followed but the lads soon left her and moved on. The lads then hit a couple off 80''s and 90''s bars which where good but unfortunately they didn''t pull.
Jimbo got a pizza and soon followed Eck who had gone down the quayside for a drink, Fletch and Craig headed home !!
Fletch is awoke by a knock at the door about hald 7 in the morning, with only about 4 hours kip he can hardly see and struggles to the door, who does he find ?????? Its only big eck needing a quid for the Johny machine !!!! What are friends for in this sort off situation ???? Fletch hand over the quid, big eck heads the toilet and Fletch sulks wishing it was him knocking ecks door for a quid !!
Fletch and Craig wake up about half 9 and after about half hour off phone calls finally wake up Eck and Jimmy. The lads have a chat about the previous night !! Big eck has scored and pulled a young scottish lady but the big revelation is yet to come.
YES, YOU GUESSED IT, JIM HAS TAKEN ANOTHER MAN BACK TO HIS HOTEL ROOM FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE TRIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big eck trys to take the blame for his slaphead mate but the simple fact remains that Jim had a man in the room at Doncaster and had TWO YES TWO men in his room this time !! Ricky''s 180 miles away so it cant be blamed on him this time !! Jim has let down straight men everywhere !!
The lads head for brecky, watch a bit off goals on Sunday and then head home !!
Fletch and Eck treat the group to 6 or 7 off Jimmy Nail''s finest tunes via Ecks Ipod much to Jimmys and Craig annoyance !!
After a long journey the group arrive at Tamworth services !!
Donna picks up eck and as Craig, Fletch and Jimmy depart Fletch treats the lovers to a version off dddddddddddddddddddddddd CHUCHO !!!!!!!!!!!
The lads head back, Jimmy and Fletch are dropped off as a emotional Craig says goodbye !!
The end !!
