Much fun was had at Distraction on Friday. Chris and I checked in about 10.30 and Kate, Dan, Lucy, Laura, and Pete landed about half an hour later. I drank copious amounts of watered down Fosters, Lucy took far too many pictures of everything that moved, and Chris PULLED a Swedish guy in the toilets (well, he was blonde anyway). While the others all caught the coach at 3am, Chris, Lucy and I managed to miss it and spent the next three hours at New Street train station. This involved:
- Completely useless security guards
- A mad dash for the toilet
- A collection of likewise stranded individuals who joined us on the floor for early-morning banter
- A German man (who actually turned out to be Spanish) who spent the entire time sleeping in a nearby photo booth
- The corruption of minors as Lucy urged a little girl to run under the toilet barriers
- Unimpressed toilet attendant lady who, according to one guy, had been on the Weakest Link!
- Phone calls from Kate, now home and bruised courtesy of Crazy Bus-Man who pulled to a complete stop on the DUAL CARRIAGEWAY and apparently yelled, "You only use toilet on motorway network!!"
- A photo of what Lucy has termed Team New Street, thanks to a passing stranger
- Finally, a train home at 6am and bed for 7!
