Now Then Children, Are You Sitting Comfortably? It's Time for a Grim Fairy Tale.
Grimmer and Rush Snr Visit Sunny Sheffield to See Bradley and Rush Jnr - 17th to 19th January, 2003.

Me and Rush Snr rocked into our 1st class carriage with 12 cans of Smiths, pulled out a pack of naked lady playing cards and proceeded to play a 2-ball ring of fire for the next 2 and a half hours, consuming all the ale. Dumped stuff at Dave's and got on it. Ended up in club (but not Dave as he had trainers on - scrubber). I pulled twice, as did Bradley. Scores at 2-2. Meanwhile Rush Snr was digging himself a very large hole with the wife. On the way out Bradley started a fight with a local girl by telling her she smelt of poverty. Nice. Saturday morning, 8.30, 3 hours of squash at Bradley's work. He beat me 4-2 in the series, but games pretty close, always 9-7, 9-6 etc. Rush Snr got destroyed with an average point score of 0.8 per game against Bradley over 6 games. Went home, all got naked, showered and got on it by midday in the union. Drank solidly for the next 14 hours, all doing 10 peters before 8. Went to pub later, picked up two random students, they loved our banter enough that they changed their plans for the evening to come with us to a planet of sound type event at the union. One of them was a tan who was very keen for my love but I ran away as she was ugly. Also the most attractive girl in there had written her number on my arm after whispering in my ear that she'd slept with all three of her female housemates. Even though she was attached drunken me thought I was in with a shot so bumped and ground with her for ages without tucking in. Average. She was amazing though so not too bothered. Bradley tucked in twice after Rush Snr told a 1st year medic student that he was a 6th year medic from Newcastle. He didn't come home. I was found by bouncers after the place had closed with my trousers round my ankles on the loo unconscious. I was then escorted out by 10 bouncers who were laughing at my extreme drunkenness. Sunday, greasy brekkie, packed and tried to go bowling but no lanes so spent a couple of hours playing arcade games and winning at hangman. Finally had the closest ever finish on Sega Rally with me pipping the lads at the finish line. Got train with 4 seconds to spare, passed out.

In a word, awesome.

Bradley hoped they didn't build walls like their logo
