I could literally cry right now. Chances are I'll have frost bite after tonight's antics anyway so I probably won't feel the cold tomorrow night!

As Shiers says, the Hotspur's not a bad boozer and is handily placed in the centre of town, about 10mins walk from SJP. The Geordies are a pretty friendly bunch and as long as we behave we should have a good laugh.
