Tim's Birthday

I went to London this weekend as it was Tim's birthday. There were just three of us, me, Michal and Tim. We caught a train early in the afternoon and arrived in London around 2.30. We went straight to the hotel, dropped our stuff off and then went straight to Leicester Square and to this little cafe run by lesbians, we had a bite to eat and then went to CXR, Tim's fave pub! It's full of men cruising and has a very distinctive atmosphere, I quite like it, but not as much as Tim. Michal, bless him, was oblivious to all this I think. We then went back to the hotel to get ready.

Michal had arranged to meet his friend later that evening, they are both Polish, so plans were changing on a minute by minute basis. We went back to Soho and had a meal in Balans, which was ok. I had a bit of a cold though and wasn't feeling all that much like drinking :(

After Balans we went to G.A.Y. Bar, we were meant to meet michal's friend there, but an hour after the arranged meeting time and still no sign of him, we left lol! We headed straight for ManBar in Southwark, another one of Tim's favourites. It has dark rooms and cabins! It was funny to see Michal's reactions, for the first 30 mins he loved it and went into some of the darkrooms, I did too until someone put some really strong poppers under my nose which gave me heart palpitations lol! After 30 mins Michal was bored, Tim had scored, so we left.

We went to XXL, which is a clun for 'bears and their admirers', since we are neither of those, I don't really know why we went, but I have been before and the music is good and there are normally lots of nice, nonbears there lol. Tim headed straight for the darkroom, Michal vanished somewhere and I danced to Kylie, perfect :)

Now I've gotta go, it's tea time and my collegues are calling xxxx
