The stag weekend

Just on my way back from an excellent weekend spent in York on Si's stag do. Friday was spent at the races on which I managed to end up breaking even if not a little better. We then went for an Italian on the night and then headed into the town for drinks at some bars. Notably we went to The Evil Eye Lounge. Ideally we wanted to go into the main part but was too busy, so we just went into the secondary pub part. Was OK but not the same. Evil Eye is a really interesting place where they do some ace cocktails and you enter it through what looks like a shop front...

Yesterday we went for breakfast in The Blossom Cafe and then we went go-karting at F1 Karting. This was absolutely fantastic! The carts looked brand new! Was really well run and great fun but incredibly tiring on the arms! I managed (somehow) to win the heats section and then my semi-final. I couldn't unfortunately win the final and came second overall.

Last night we went into town early but it was packed due to the race meeting still being on. We has a couple of drinks at Plonkers and then went for a Mexican which was alright but nothing special. Portions were enormous though! Few more drinks and then back to the hotel.

Still got a few more days off. I return to work on the 15th. Unfortunately tomorrow I'm back to the dentists to have a filling but Tuesday is my birthday! I'm going to Underground Tattoo in Walsall to get my "swifts" in tribute to my grandfather. Will post a pic when done!
