Time spent drinking with an Irishman

As the sun is shining for what could be the last time in 2010, considering The Big Freeze we had last year, I have decided to look back over Summer 2010.

Summer 2010 was full of laughter, joy and drink. Oh yes indeed. It was especially good for I was reunited with my dear friend and Irish brother, Mr Tom Budgen.

Now then friends, that is a man who knows how to enjoy himself. A man of dignity and integrity. A man who loves life and everything in it. A much better man than me. Tom has no hatred in his heart from anyone, or anything. He believes in peace and unity for all, and as I look back, it has kind of rubbed off on me a little bit. I am truly grateful to him for this.

We spent many a evening drinking and looking back at the half a decade we have known each other. And what a crazy five years it has been. From our first day at Central Sussex College Haywards Heath, I knew I had found a friend and a brother. I remember every Monday afternoon, after our lessons at Clair Hall, we used to walk up the road and buy some Dominoe's Pizza. Then we sat on the roundabout and ate the pizzas. Good times, good times indeed.

So here is a message for my friend Tom Budgen, I miss you man and we shall share a bottle or two of wine one day soon! :-)
