What's the most anticlimatic celebration you've been to? A contender from me... A good few years ago a mate was celebrating his 21st birthday on a Tuesday night. He invited a small list of chums but for various reasons only me and one other turned up. We then had a pub crawl around Waterloo in the days when Waterloo was still full of dive bars and not the gastro-pub infested place of today. The night started badly as the third person proceeded to claim that he was a poet and insisted that we read his work. It was reasonably good stuff but unbelievably depressing. Thankfully after 3 hours of him explaining why his dad committed suicide he buggered off and left me and birthday boy as the only two people in a pub. By then we were sombre if not sober and frankly bored so birthday boy started fiddling with the lamp next to us; switching it on and off repeatedly. Cue landlord storming over... "Oi you two, drink up and get out!" Night ends at 9pm.
