A pictorial record of Murray's big night
| 8.00pm After a couple of drinks back home, Murray arrives, fresh-faced and cheerful, looking forward to the evening's festivities. |
|
If, however, there is one picture which accurately represents the true nature of the evening, then it is the following - the Firkin Fast Blasts shots menu!
This menu was in large part responsible for the scenes which now follow:
| 8.35pm - Caribbean Kiss After having ordered a hearty meal and in the throes of quaffing a couple of bottles of Bud Ice, the first shot of the night, and Murray's looking quietly confident. |
 |
| 8.45pm - Aftershock Looking a little apprehensive, methinks... |
|
| 9.00pm - B52 In swing of it now... |
|
| 9.13pm - Blue Monie Is Murray looking for divine intervention, or merely checking the way to the upstairs toilets? |
|
| 9.28pm - Hot and Horny Still looking for help from on high... |
|
| 9.42pm - Slippery Nipple A pair of slippery nipples... |
|
| 10.02pm - Tonsil Tickler Murray's tonsils taking a good tickling and no mistake... |
|
| 10.07pm - Tonsil Tickler Hmmm...an administrative oversight led to the purchase of a second Tonsil Tickler. Undeterred, Murray despatched it as swiftly as the first! |
|
| 10.22pm - Love Juice Slips down a treat... |
|
| 10.35pm - Quick Fix Just after the event - looks like he still has to swallow... |
|
| Quiet contemplation of his achievements...or was he thinking of being sick????... |
|
| No...it was quiet contemplation!! Here we see Murray proudly posing in front of his personal collection of short glasses. |
|
First up, the depth charge...
| 10.45pm - Dr Pepper's Depth Charge This rather pleasant combination of a pint of Bud Ice with a hefty measure of spirit thrown in (literally, glass and all) was dealt with in admirable style by our friend Murray, who, as the pictures witness, thoroughly enjoyed his drink!! |
|
|
|
|
Clearly, the eagle-eyed amongst you will have spotted that there still remained one item from the menu to be tasted - the flavoured vodka...
| 10.55pm - Flavoured Vodka Unfortunately, the only flavoured vodka on offer was chocolate. This, however, did not deter the bold Murray, who downed his measure in fine style. |
|
| The result of this activity led Murray to make a sneaky visit to the bar - for a glass of water! Hmmm...can't say we entirely approve of that sort of behaviour... |
|
Having seen off the menu in its entirety, and then a little bit more, Murray may have thought he was getting near
the end of his ordeal, oops, top night out. Wrong!....more was yet to come...
| ...in the shape of cocktails....commencing with Firkin on the Beach, |  |
| ...no problem...but there's still the Morning Glory to be undertaken... |
|
| It's getting late now and some kindly soul from a neighbouring table has bought a short and doesn't like it. Who
does he turn to to see them off?...Murray! Still leaves that Morning Glory... |
|
| Murray's close to the edge now - quite keen to go home, really, but unfortunately he's got to sink the cocktail first... |
|
| Well, he did it, and he's got his jumper on and wants to go....we know he'd be happier back home... |
|
| ...and we were right!!! Here we see the happy stag safely back home, looking considerably more with it than the happy stag's brother... |
|
| ...and here we see the happy stag's happy hen!!...isn't she gorgeous??? Kathy's not too impressed though! |
|
| Hmmm...a motely crew indeed... |
|
And that was that. Well done Murray, and good luck in Bali!!!
