Today is Beaujolais Nouveau Day 2011.
As is traditional at the Baum about 20 of us will be celebrating it in style.
This involves a coffee and brandy at 10, followed by a pint or two.
We then adjourn upstairs where a massive English breakfast is served and a bottle of the Beaujolais EACH.
This is interspersed with the odd pint.
We then have a comedian booked for a couple of hours.
At about 3 we all go back down into the pub and play a variation of shove halfpenny (with 50p pieces).
This involve quite a lot of shouting & banter, oh and a few more pints.
At around 6 a huge cottage pie will be served to soak up the mess, along with a pint or two of course.
Eventually we will slope off home.
Last year the last two standing (leaning more like) were Simon (the landlord) and myself.
I got home about 11:20.
I shall be setting off for this years adventure in about 30 minutes.
I may be some time.
