well tonight was wild –

well tonight was wild – I went for happy ‘hour’ after work with a whole load of the international crew here to a bar called ‘bungalow bills’ and well to start with the guy took my international drivers licence and decided that although hertz were fine with it that it wasn’t valid ID – but then after umming and ahhing for ten minutes decided that as I was 31 he may serve me anyways. Then we shot pool, drank beer, checked out chicks, played darts the whole straight thing really and it was kind of fun.
came back to the hotel and the lads went to clydes for more beers – I was abstaining as I was driving and plus I wasn’t really in the mood – I’ll save it for the weekend. Anyways I thought the guy in the next room must have the TV on a little loud until I noticed the commotion outside and realised the hotel was being evacuated. Great so I wandered over to Clydes and then by the time I got back they were letting us back upstairs. So all in all a erm different kind of night for me. Got to pack now for the move to DC at the weekend and then off to bed I think. I am so dreading going back to GMT now I have completely gotten used to EST. It is gonna be a killer on the way back too, thank god for melatonin :o)

okay so I have been

okay so I have been a bit slack on the old blogging front – so sue me – I am in the land of the free after all :o)
Okay well I can’t remember if I told you how the nice man at Hertz had upgraded us to a Volvo S60 with all leather interior and GPS neverlost system but I’m gonna tell you again cos it’s the mutts nutsTM it really is.
Off out to Bungalow Bills tonight with the crew that are training us out here and a few assorted other good people. I decided in light of the fact it is probably going to get very messy I should designate myself as driver so that I can continue to function tomorrow as I have a fairly heavy weekend planned. what with another full on 2 nights in Washingtons DC and all.

Thanks to Mark for these

Thanks to Mark for these – cheered up my wednesday 🙂
How many gay men does it take to change a light bulb?
allegedly, 9
1 to change the bulb
2 to argue which spangley crop-top goes best with the too-small jeans
5 to do the dance routine to Steps
And another to hand out the Voddie Red Bulls

or……….
3
1 to call out a nice man to do it and 2 to eye up the electrician

or……….
None.
They just get a few mates round and call it a dark room.

or……….
None.
Light bulbs are just SO Twentieth Century!

interesting site we have discovered

interesting site we have discovered in training reston-va.com which has some really useful links to things happening in the area – but also some really disturbing links like the one to sex offenders in your area with pics.

okay well update on the

okay well update on the weekend I guess. We started with cocktails in the hotel [free for happy hour] and then moved on to food at Mercury Grill and drinks at JR’s all of which got very very messy. The following morning when we got all the happy campers back together we wandered around DC for a couplke of hours before giving into the heat and heading back to the Brenton for a disco nap. We met a guy at cocktails and ended up going for dinner with him and then drinks to a bar called windows I think and we never made it to the foam party at velvetnation [I think much to the str8 boys relief].
The following morning Jonathan remebered his camera and here is a weekend in pictures? With a pic of the coolest number plate we saw that weekend.
Went for the greasiest burger in Johnny Rockets as well in Georgetown a quick trip to A&F and then back to the hotel.

another day in the office

another day in the office but today I met the NOVA gay group in CC4 for lunch which was fun. and am off into DC tonight to stay at the Brenton in the Dupont Circle area. The off to badlands tonight and then velvet nation tomorrow as the guys at lunch mentioned something about a foam party 🙂 well actually that it is busier than badlands! All this after a night at Clydes and then Champps in Reston which is heterohell – I mean really. Still met a couple of guys that actually live in the area today so maybe it isn’t as white, middle class, religious etc etc as I thought!

last night was a mixed

last night was a mixed bag – we ended up going to Logans Roadhouse in cascades straight from work for yet more super fatty fried food. then back to the hotel to do a workout and then decided to go over the road to a bar called Clydes for drinks – 2 vodkas for me that was since I do not drink much these days 😉 We met a local girl at with a bright pink sparkly box full of sex toys [including a vibrator with lights] – we made our excuses and stumbled back to the hotel.

okay I decided to go

okay I decided to go the gym instead of shop – what has gotten ino me 😉 I’m not entirely sure but after an hour and a half work out I am knackered and hungry.

we ended up at Dulles

we ended up at Dulles Town Centre again last night for some food at Uno’s Chicago Grill – funnily enough another entirely deep fried meal here in the land of the free 😉 – I am so glad I did my 3 mile uphill run before hand.
Woke up at a normal time this morning and then had a huge breakfast. Weather is fantastic here and it’s a shame we are spending all our time in conference rooms and training rooms. Roll on the weekend I say.
