Fairly interesting weekend, although I didn't think it would be interesting at all. Initially, I had no plans until, at lunch, I met up with some of my classmates who also had no plans and we decided to head into London, specifically Hyde Park.
Big mistake.
There was a Foo Fighters concert there and the place was PACKED. The tube going to Hyde Park Corner was so crowded, you didn't need to hold on to anything. There was literally no place to fall.
We spent some time lounging in the park, away from the concert goers. After a while, it became a little monotonous so we headed into Oxford Circus where we were supposed to hook up with some other friends and have dinner at Wagamama, the Japanese restaurant. The place did not disappoint. Food was excellent, prices were reasonable, and service was quick. Afterwards, we decided to find a bar/lounge where we could watch the football.
We found DIGRESS.
I love this place. The bar was twin-leveled with the resto/bar area on the ground floor and the bar/lounge area in the basement. We managed to get a table in the basement in a prime location to watch the Italy v USA match. That was some match. 3 red cards and a flurry of fouls found the score at 1-1 after the time expired. Good stuff.
The bar itself was humming. People were streaming in and the place was filling up like you wouldn't believe. The music was fabulous as well and the atmosphere was beginning to explode. Unfortunately, my companions needed to leave as they had to get up really early (i.e. 6am) to travel to Alton Towers (a theme park) the next day. With a sigh of regret and a promise that I would return, we headed out and went home.
While we were waiting for a cab that would bring us back to the Farm from Radlett station, a group of drunks came and waited for cabs as well. In addition, a loving couple reserved for a car. In a stunning series of events, tragedy struck as the woman part of the loving couple fell to the ground and struck her head. At almost the same moment, an available car pulled up. The drunks then proceeded to procure this vehicle for themselves, regardless of the fact that we had been there first.
In the end, the injured woman and her companion went off in the car. The drunks, with much cursing and nasty looks at our group, got another car. Our group waited a few more minutes for our own cars to arrive. No further incident, thank goodness.
I'd like to write more about today however I'm too drunk. I'll continue this tomorrow, hopefully.
Cheers!
