out on tag
i once visited some australian friends who recently moved to bristol.
we went out drinking, as you do.
we started at home, then headed to the bottom of park street, planning to visit every establishment on the way up, do a beer and a shot, see what it was like, maybe stay for seconds if there was a chance of a bit of 'shush' (clunge) then move on.
i remember about 2/3 of the way up.
i woke up sweating like a slave on a filthy floor in what i can only assume was a squat, surrounded by the passed out carcasses of total strangers. on eye level with a tank holding a very unimpressed looking green iguana. who was glaring at me.
the only clue as to what had happened was a trail of club and pub entry stamps on my arm, in various stages of sweaty smudgy glory, and a handful of credit card receipts from various drinking establishments.
thankfully i still had my phone and wallet, and a few calls and quick check of google maps reassured me i was somewhere in the depths of st paul's. as i got up to leave and find my mates, i realised that peeking from under the arm of my t-shirt was a large, and i can safely say VERY FUCKING PERMANENT marker ink graffiti tag, extending up my shoulder and onto my back. took about four hard scrubbing sessions with a scourer and some nail varnish remover to take that off.
when i finally rendesvous with ym aussie mates in a greasy spoon cafe, they had no clue as to where i'd been either. leaving on the train i saw the same tag, though it's indecipherable so i can't tell you what it says, on several bridges and railway sidings..

Was this recent?
I can't find a decent greasy spoon for the life of me.

Or did I miss the point?

Al's Tikka Grill near the city ground
is a greasy spoon in the mornings. Proper greasy spoon and it's ace.
As is the Monte Carlo on Stapleton road.
