Ben's Birthday Pancakes

Mr Ben McGuinness turned the barely youthful age of 29 late last week, and to celebrate we had a traditional Bristol night out...

We met at the Watershed at about 10:00 and drunk at a very fast pace until midnight when they called time. We slowly left the building and stood in a huddle deciding where to go next before concluding that we should just go back to my middle room and drink red wine. Being the birthday boy, Ben took the role of DJ, and Em came up with the genius suggestion of pancakes. We had one egg, but still managed to make enough batter mix for six.



Bruce took the taste test and promptly gave it a resounding 'thumbs-up'





With four pancakes devoured, Em suggested I film her attempting a 'high toss', seemingly determined to give me some top notch material for this blog. I don't think any of us anticipated that the idea would provide such comedy footage as this...




Just in case anyone can't watch that due to company firewalls, or something, you can view it here (presuming your firewalls don't also block youtube). It's well worth it!



Happy birthday Button!

Happy Birthday Benny!

And that video is well funny, good work.

The kitchen looks the same Andy, but some middle room footage is called for. It looks like you may have moved some of the furniture around in the last year but I guess the rocking chair still takes pride of place?

It sounds like traditional Bristol night out hasn't changed much either.....

Oh, and congratulations on another webcast. You on for a hatrick this week?

Gets funnier every time I watch it!
Can't believe Ben ate the pancake, not sure even Sam would apply the 3 second rule to something that had been on your kitchen floor.

Jonny think they have a new sofa too...

Thanks for a great weekend y'all!

Em, that pancake spent more time on your face than it did on the floor. I only know because it was caked in make up. Still, it tasted just fine.

And if I remember Sam doesn't just apply the three second rule for floors, he also applies the 10 minute rule for dustbins.

It was good to have a Brizzle night out, even if it was slightly scaled down.

Thats charmin will..what a shame you didn't catch that on video :)

Think Sam actually applies the overnight rule to dustbins....if its still there in the morning its fair game.
