Well, what can I say, but what a fantastic start to 2009 and SMEG's 10th anniversary year! Sadly, the Sportsbar was closed, this completely threw us, as it is our usual first drinking spot on any night out, not a huge problem though, as we set off to the Garratt, which was definitely worth visiting as the barmaids were buxom and wonderful and was very nearly nursing a semi at one point while being served, lovely girls!

After a drink or two in The Salisbury, we made our way to Jilly's to get out of the freezing cold, I expected Manchester to be much busier, maybe everyone was staying home to stay out of the cold. No kiss at midnight, but still, teh music was good and the drinks were flowing, I was drinking plenty of water this time, which I knew I'd be glad of doing the day after.

I am typing this with what I think to be throat infection, almost certainly thanks to Alexis, thank you, also met a lovely blonde, whose name escapes me, but we have each others numbers anyway. Looking forward to going out again, I love that whole promiscuous stuff, realistically, I think Valentine's night (a Saturday) may be the next time I will be at Jilly's, let's hope more good things are to come for 2009!
