The Daily British Life of Jenny Mac: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So, I'm coming at all of you from the future! 2011. haha! Nice one. :) Tonight has been a blast, but I'll start with what happened in my last day of 2010 first.

I had a nice lay in, but then James and I went out to get 'supplies' for tonight's festivities. The grocery store was HECTIC. We could barely find parking and THAT was even a challenge. There was a lady who stole our parking space. :( This lady in a green car came round the corner and even though we were on the other side of the corner, waiting for this car to pull out(we had our turn signal on and everything), after the car pulled out, this lady snookered her way into the spot…AND SHE SAW US waiting there. Such an old hag. I was pissed. We got a spot, not too far from her in any case, so we didn't wait long after that for a spot(some other mid 30s lady was kind enough to tell us where there was a spot for us).

We did our shopping, but when we came back out, the lady in the green car was loading up her car. So, I walked over to her an calmly and nicely stated, "Maybe next time you should think about spreading holiday cheer and good tidings towards others instead of thinking about your own selfish needs".
HER: "I was here first, waiting for a half an hour for a parking spot. How long have you been here?"
ME: "Not very long, but still, we were waiting for that spot and you took it. Shouldn't you be thinking of others and sharing good will towards men?

She then brushed me off, walking away, saying something like, "good tidings to you", in a very snooty and unconvincing tone of voice. So I said to her as I walked away, "Happy new year to you too. I hope you become a better person in the New Year".

She was such a bitch. But I'm glad I confronted her. Maybe she'll think twice about being a snooty old hag even if she's in a rush or having a bad day. It's the Holidays….have some cheer…and some class, lady.

Anyway, getting out of Ross was a nightmare because of all the traffic and Ross has a one-way street system going through it, but we eventually made it home. I showered, got ready, we ate some dinner and then we went out into Ross to meet Russell and Chris again for New Years.

These are the photos from the drinking Fest of tonight. We hit "The Royal", a kind of posh pub in Ross, then Weatherspoons ("spoons"), which had a really rough crowd tonight so we didn't stay long, then to the Yud (The Kings Head Bar) to finish off the night. At midnight we walked down to the market square, which is only a few shops down from the hotel, to shoot off poppers and bring in the new year. Then we went back to The Dam Barn (james' house) to do a little beer pong and house party. Before I show pictures, I want to mark how much alky I've had, for my own personal record to remember:

The Royal: 1 Cider, chilled bottle (4.5% vol)
Spoons: 1 Smirnoff ice, chilled bottle (4%) and a bit of Jame's crappy Perry (4.5%)
Kings Head: 2 baileys on ice (40%) and a Headless Man Dry Cider (6%)
Back at the Dam barn: 2 cider cans (5%), 1 white russian (40% Baileys, 37% Smirnoff, 20%Kahlua, and some milk) a cup of tea and some water…and pizza, but that last bit is food.

Now, here are photos with commentary:

James....making a funny face with Cider in his mouth. haha wasn't very good Cider/Perry to begin with.

Left is Chris, Right is Russ.

James' Dad, James Sr., gave us a round of drinks free...very nice of him. :) I get along with James Sr. quite well.

Happy me, in my atmosphere...a pub.

Chris Norton.

The Boys in 2011.

Kissing the new year in.

Happy New Year to us...."Kissing the old year out. Kissing the New Year in."

I can't even remember why they were doing hitler mustaches, but it was hilarious.

Me, lazing about the couch.

Just James....I love him.

More Beer Pong.

"I AM SPAR!"(Parody off 'I am Sparta')

Oh Russ and Me, always meant to be mates, nothing more. It's better this way :P And Russ thinks James and I make a great couple, so it works out perfectly. :)
