Hump Day

After some pestering by unnameable* sources, the Brisbane Ultimate Blog will turn its mind away from its hard and fast focus on Brisbane Ultimate to a closely related activity – drinking – and the review of such drinking.

Every second Wednesday after work a certain group of folks get together in a fairly disorganised manner for Hump Day Drinks. Hump day celebrates being over the hump of the working week.

Last night the crew visited Union Jacks on Charlotte Street, and was pleasantly surprised to discover half-priced (or about that) happy hour jugs from 5.30-7.30pm (bit rough on the people who were there at 5.15pm buying jugs at full price, but then as was philosophised by the Philosopher King, this motivated some heavy happy houring to lower the average cost price per jug). The wide range of beer selections kept the Skipper and the Engine Rob entertained.

In attendance: myself, the Skipper, the Engine Rob, Shagger Good, the Sultry Lady, his drinking majesty the Philosopher King, Speedy Bob, a limping Astrocristy, Rune and EPAngus (the latter four putting in their first appearance for 2008 for those keeping track at home).

Food war reasonable. Drinking was moderately heavy to heavy. Happy hour very timely.

Next meeting is planned for the German Club on 6 February.

*I don't mean this in the Cthulonic sense

Mate, I just realised that February is my month off the booze (aka piker's month) to recover from Xmas excesses. So I will probably not be at the German club....
