The Gatecrasher

For some time now there has been a tradition that whenever we go to the Granite City (Aberdeen) to play hockey and are victorious we order either the Beast or the Gatecrasher pizza.  Both are enormous pizzas - the Gatecrasher has 32 slices and it a rectangular two foot squared gem.  Picture attached.  It definitely makes the 90 minute drive back from Aberdeen more fun when you can't move because of the massive pizza box wedged on your head.  Good times.

Last Wednesday was the first ever "quickest downing" competition in the hockey club.  Our social convenor, Jack, organised a terrific event in our sponsor pub to find the quickest person to drink a pint.  Starting with 33 entrants, everyone did their first time and were timed on a watch.  The top 16 were then through to the first round and were seeded according to their times (range was about 13s to 4s).  From there we went 16 => 8 => 4 => 2 => 1.  It was great fun and there was a really good atmosphere.  Somehow I managed to get down to the final 4 but was pretty quite comprehensively in the semi finals.  Never mind.

The last few days have been really hectic on eBay.  I was lucky enough to shift 2000 pens at 25p per pen which has put me almost in break even territory literally overnight so thats been good.  Cereal has also been flying off the shelves and I think Ill have to order some more soon.

I had lots to write but I'm tired and stressed with a lecture, tutorial and all day trip to Edinburgh to play hockey tomorrow morning.  My battery is also going flat.
