THE EVENING'S ENTERTAINMENT




The evening kicked off with 10 of us commandeering a local bus with the sign "OUT OF SERVICE", but no few of the mad group decided to flag the bus down, get on it and gave him some cash (to take his wife for a drink) and he gladly said "Yes" and saved us an enormous cost of 3 taxis!!
It then went from bad to worse in the curry house, when our waiter asked us for the drinks order the reply was 19 pints of Cobra lager that's 2 and a half gallons if you're still imperial and 1 orange juice (Jonathan doesn't drink).
Daryl took the Bucket round to every table and didn't have a failure due to his magnificent Torso.
As you can imagine we drank a barrel, ate our curry, paid the bill and then informed the waiters that we had put their £40 tip into the charity bucket. Oh Dear!!!!
Then we departed into the high street in our green T-shirts & with our charity buckets in hand.
Now if you can recall, Ed who had taken the last 20 miles in a BMW X5 due to breaking a fingernail, had to pay a penance therefore a branded Macmillan green mankini. Fair play to the guy, he stripped naked, put the mankini on and then we followed him round a packed Wetherspoons with the bouncer and the girls were wanting photos with him at a cost of course!!
The next pub we arrived at (this is now 11pm) and I was standing at the bar ordering the drinks for the boys when this rather scary looking skinhead fellow looks at me, his whole face & head face covered in tattoos literally and said "Wot u Doing?" nervously, I replied that we were collecting for Macmillan as my sister had passed away recently. He said that his mum had died last year of cancer so he stuck a fiver in the bucket then said "Give me the bucket I`ll get it filled for you", so we followed him round in our shirts and you really wouldn't have said No to him so extortion just for the one night and it is a great cause.
We got home very late and counted the money the next day and we had raised £550 just in the pubs of Devizes.

So THANK YOU to all for that
