It's been over four years now since I last saw Tamsin. We got reunited on myspace.com and she invited me down to London for her Birthday party. Little did I know I'd end up spending the whole weekend there! I managed to party for a full 24hrs before getting any sleep - let the madness begin...

The Beginning...

So I haven't seen Tamsin since Uni finished and I headed off down to London, well Streatham to be exact. I was pre-warned it was a dodgy area so I arrived tooled up - two bottes of wine, a bottle of Limoncello (all the way from my recent visit to Italy no less) and a bottle of vodka.

Some people refer to parties as 'sessions' and there was talk that tonights was going to break the 'seshometer' - that's what that little meter is at the top of the page FYO. Anyway, the current status of the seshometer was at about 1.

The DJ...

No house party would go down a storm if it weren't for a decent DJ. We had one and I can't for the life of me remember his name - sorry. My memory has been abused somewhat in recent years due to alcohol consumption - well that's my excuse anyway.

I do remember one thing though - his mixing and tune choices were worthy of an award.

Did I miss something?

It seemed that there was some sort of hawaiian theme going on when I arrived and I had that horrible feeling that it was going to be a fancy dress party or something similar and I hadn't been told.

Here is Tamsin (left) and Nikki (right). I know them both from my uni days and I even did a few uni radio shows with the delicious pair.

Oh Dear...

This is Dee's bloke, Ben. I lived with Dee at uni on and off for about 4yrs. By the state of Ben, I'd say he'd cranked up his seshometer way too early and was a gonner by about midnight.

The look of Love...

I know she has a bloke, but Dee still loves me really. As I said earlier, I lived with Dee for 4yrs and I found it most amusing having heard Tamsin still refer to her as 'the bint'. We never found out who started that, but I'm sure it was either me or Zane.

Ladies...

There was much totty to take in at the party and again, I can't remember their names. I'll just make some up for now:

From L to R: Marjorie, Stella and Helgar

Seshometer: Level 3

You know when it gets to that time of night and twister makes an appearance? I didn't play cos the board wasn't big enough for my unique physique.

 
  8

Wine Tasting...

A bit more uni alumni appeared in the form of Sarah (left). It looks like Tamsin is talking gossip and all Sarah cares about is the vintage of her wine.

  9

Fanny Magnet...

Well - I am aren't I? Nikki was always referred to as 'Fit Nikki' at uni for obvious reasons. She will be mine. Oh yes - one day, she will be mine. Mwah ha ha ha ha ha....

The housemates...

All these girls live together. If my memory doesn't serve me well, from L to R: Naomi, _______, and Tamsin.

 

Current Seshometer reading: 4

The Aussie...

Tamsin used to date this guy I think and even though I spent most of the night chatting to him, I can't remember his name. How good am I? I think it was Andy. Or was it Matt? Anyway - for now, I'll just call him the aussie.

More people I can't remember...

if you know who these people are, then please email me. Thanks.

  13

The pose...

It's quite surprising the attention you get when you're holding something big in your hands and the girls want you to use it. Naturally, I'm talking about my camera. Word got round that there was a pro photographer in the area and they were posing left right and centre. Then I turned up and ruined it all.

Getting Late now - I'm 28 for fucks sake...

Luckily for me my camera records the date and time of each picture. It was now 3:05am and well into Sunday 13th August. The seshometer had levelled off at about 5.5 and we were still drinking.

Most 28yr olds I know would be tucked up in bed by now, but not me - oh no - if it's still going at five past three then I wanna be involved.

 
  15  

Tamsins Bedroom...

I ritualistically took pictures throughout the morning to see a certain 'progression' in the night. This one was at 4:54am and I'm quite surprised that everyone looks fairly bright eyed and bushy tailed.

After everyone had left, we all stayed in Tamsins room drinking and talking about, well, I can't remember.

 
  18

Orgy...

What? You know I can't resist a bed with three gorgeous women in it can I?

     
  19

Ladies part deux...

After my 3hr orgy with the girls, they take a quick rest before I'm good to go again.

     
  20

Much Lovin...

Not sure whether you can make out, but the aussie is under Tamsin somewhere.

This pic was taken at 5:38am - I was worried we wouldn't make the church service.

     
  22

Still soldiering on...

It's 6:43am and the seshometer has climbed to about a 7 as we continue drinking and crumpling Tamsins bedsheets.

The vodka flows...

I had been drinking from a coke bottle for about an hour and didn't realise someone had emptied a bottle of vodka into it. No wonder it tasted nice. I give the aussie a high five as we get to the 7am mark.

So we made it that far - could we push the boundaries of drinking any further? Go to page two to find out...
