Maybe I'll make it to the NEXT Frog and Frigate reunion...

Stayed in Fareham instead, had a great night

Started to panic about the night out down The Frog. I would be leaving Clare and Harry for a long time, and be too far away from them and not able to get back in a hurry. Thought just staying in Fareham would be the better option and I'd be home earlier. A mistake. Started in The Fareham with Andy, then on to Indian Cottage where we met Dave and Bunsen, then on to Clinkers where we thought it was rock night. It wasn't, rock night is Saturday, it felt like a Saturday and that confused me. It was 80's night instead, which meant shots for 80p, really should have avoided them. Then on to the Wetherspoons, for ale and more shots, got really very drunk, and ended up getting home quite late. Not really clear on the walk home, slightly in the dog house...

STRAIGHT BACK TO THE PUB today. Not drinking though, had lunch with all the family in Port Solent, very nice! Then a boiling drive back to Folkestone. So hot we had to have the windows open all the way, made for a noisy journey. Harry was really upset with the heat, so had to pull into the first petrol station and try and cool him down, Clare ended up sitting in the back seat to try and keep him happy. A good run home, amazingly did not even slow down at notorious slow spot Hindhead, normally this is a good solid half hour hold up at least, but the road was entirely clear going our way. Saw a monster tailback on the M20 coming the other way, apparently a lorry had turned over earlier. Wreckage was gone but road still closed. Lots of police in attendance, including a helicopter. Felt sorry for the people tailing back for miles.

Home now, had tea, Harry is bathed and in bed and we're going to watch some Glastonbury.

Don't forget it's an old school night at the Frog and Frigate tomorrow

I'm wearing my frog t-shirt that's older than I was when I went there...

Some people are calling it a reunion, but I think it's going to be more like one of those "songs from the war" type nights that they have at the Leas Cliff Hall. Doesn't start until 10pm, lordy, we used to go at about 6pm back in the day...

Hmm, they used to do real ale when we used to go, I remember seeing their home brew at one pound a pint. From this site looks like that's no longer the case. I might as well drive if the alternative is drinking that crap!



Anyway, hope to see you there.

The Frog and Frigate reunion

26th June, quite possibly see you there. Mum / Dad, can you babysit?

There's no danger of anyone reading this and knowing what I'm on about and not knowing about this as you would have been copied in to the same email, but ooh look, Derek back at the Frog and Frigate!

There will be a Frog and Frigate reunion party on Friday 26th June from 10pm until 3am and Derek will be playing.

Hopefully a lot of the old faces will turn out for this so I know we've mentioned that we ought to go up sometime and I think this would be the best night.

I actually went last Friday as Derek was playing and it was a really good night, not quite like old times but if there was a bunch of us then it would be a whole lot better. It doesn't get going until midnight and then keeps on until 3am, Derek does roughtly half hour sets with 80s/90s music played inbetween.
