Second letter from Cleavsie

Hi Dude,

Guess who's leaving his course as he's so pissed off with this crappy place and course. So I have to write a letter to the course leader and give it him tomorrow (oerr!)

I don't know what the fuck today at the moment I'm just pissing around and getting drunk all the time, which is great but is not going to last forever. (sic)

(Little did he know how long it would last.) David

Friday night was fucking great, we got a crate of Brown Ale in, two bottles of Thunderbird and a couple of bottles of Martini and left them in the flat then went went to the pub and got totally pissed and then came back and finished off what we had left in the flat.

Then Paul made a 'bottle bomb' and we went through that two rounds of that and a couple of 'spliffs', we were absolutely pissed and stoned. And a few friends stayed over we didn't go to bed until 4.30 in the morning it was fucking great. Then it was a repeat performance on Saturday and Sunday started at one o'clock, me and Mark went to the Freetown club and got our dinner and a few drinks there plus there was a jazz band playing and they did a cover of 'Knocking on Heaven's Door' which was pretty damn good. Then we went back to our friends flat who had stayed over on Friday and we finished off the bottles of Thunderbird and Martini. We then went back to our flat and I started running cars, and nearly put my foot threw this 'G Reg Golf's windscreen. I was shitfaced.

(Running over cars became something of a common occurance when we were out drinking. It was never something planned, and we certainly never intended any harm. It was just one of those stupid things we got up to. I don't have any memory of us causing any damage with this game, although our cuban heels must have left marks on a few car bonnets.) David

Then we picked up Tony and went to the pub after a couple of joints. I've never played pool so good in my life as long as I remember which end of the cue to use. I've just about recovered now and we're going to have another good session tomorrow.

Anyway how's it going on down in London? Are you still thinking of getting a transfer back to Newcastle? I'm going back to Newcastle soon so let me know if your coming up at all.

Fiona wrote to me about an account of her going to Scotland! Weird or what?

(Fiona had been Mark's girlfriend over the summer. Then broke up when he left to go to University in Stoke.) David

Well I better write my letter to the course leader.

See ya

Mark
