I just went on holiday...and now it's all this

Thankfully just before the Coronavirus shutdown, myself and some mates were out and about a lot locally, seeing bands and watching football. we also managed to squeeze a short holiday to Hamburg and Copenhagen in, arriving back to shutdown.
It's certainly strange times indeed, but luckily for me, it doesn't affect me that much, as l'm pretty unsociable most of the time. I'm still going to work most days, and enjoy staying in and pottering about, reading, watching TV, and listening to music.It's a shame l can't go to the pub, but it gives me some time to sort out the crap l've accumulated over the years (and buy more crap over the internet).
Anyway, here's some scans from the trip, where pretty much plenty of everything was taken, apart from food.
A splendid time guaranteed for all (apart for Peanut John).
Also, obviously l wouldn't go boasting that l am the only attractive one in our group, but Lara, the young attractive barmaid we were talking to in our favourite pub, slipped me her phone number as we were leaving to meet up with me later that evening. Result!!  Problem is, l mistook the line separating the area code and her number for a one, so rang the wrong number. Never mind, it was still an excellent thing to wind up the others with, and l'll just have to stalk her next time we go back. I've blanked out some of her numbers to prevent people calling her.





















And here's some photographs - not in order

Various scans and photographs from the recent short trip to Hamburg.
Lots of drink was taken by all (Hic).

 Manchester Airport menu

 Instructions from the German bar staff for the best places to buy tickets to see St Pauli (We couldn't get in but watched some of the game inside the stadium on TV in the supporters bar)


 Posh leather bound menu from Hamburg


Bill for our drinks at the top of Clouds (Robbo paid)


 My bill for a bottle of wine from Hamburg Airport which we sneakily drank on the plane, and got told off for when we put the empty bottle in the rubbish bag (Breaking the law, Breaking the law...)

A ticket for the game we couldn't get into (found in a bar later on)




 Chips on the return plane home


 Outside the St Pauli stadium


 View from the top of Clouds



Beans on Toast on stage and my signed poster

 Where we had to get off the train because one of our party was going to wee himself (It wasn't me or Robbo)

How l'm planning on looking in later life
