Welcome to Wales, Graham Swan!

Graham arrived here at 9pm on Monday 21st of October 2002. I had to go and rescue him in a Tescos car park. From there we(Graham, Craig, Ian and myself) went to the Mount Pleasant pub. We had a few drinks, a couple of games of pool and took the piss out of Graham's accent ;-p

After Monday night we got up ridiculously early, after 3 hours sleep, at 7:30am to get ready to go to Swansea University. My superb map skills got us there in no time ;-p We stayed roughly 15 minutes before boredom hit... The obvious thing to do next was head over to UCI. There we had a portrait done in 'van Gogh's Studio', which was amusing, and then saw xXx - featuring the ever brilliant Rammstein.

After coming back from Swansea, Graham checked into his hotel and then went to visit Adam. We met up later in the Mount Pleasant, which is the last I saw of him until the 24th.

On Thursday we played football, then went over Adam's for 10 hours ;-p Pictures from that day:

On Friday we (Adam, Craig, Fletcher, Graham, Ian and myself) went to Cardiff on the 11:20am train from Aberdare. On the way to Cardiff we took some pictures:

When we arrived in Cardiff, we wandered around the shops and then split up to go for food. Adam and Ian went to pizza hut while the rest of us went to a kebab hut. On the way to the kebab hut Graham was feeling homesick, so we had to stop in the Bank of Scotland for him ;-p Pictures from the bank(which almost got me kicked out, they thought I'd rob it mun! ;-p):

From the bank I got a kebab and the others had some chips. We then found a bench to sit and eat and took these pictures:

After confusing some pensioners, we headed over to Cardiff Castle to meet up with Ian and Adam. Lots of pictures from there, some including me ;-p Before you think it, I am not holding my crotch and I hold my hands up to prove my point...:

From Cardiff Castle we went to Cardiff Bay and headed over to UCI and Megabowl. UCI had no good movie and Megabowl was packed! After a few arcade games we went and sat down and took these pics:

Picture of Craig looking very freaky indeed... ;-p

From there we walked around the bay then back to UCG cinemas. Nobody, other than Ian, wanted to watch a film so we sat around for 90 minutes waiting for the next train. We took these pictures in the bar on the second floor:

Next was a long boring hour on a packed train back to Aberdare. Adam took Graham and Fletcher back to his house for the night(no pictures of that, thankfully...), while Craig, Ian and myself went to our houses. Graham left on Saturday morning(and I don't wake untill the afternoon) so the train station was the last place I saw Graham on his Welsh holiday.

It was a good week though, and I hope Graham enjoyed it - we were not too weird for him I hope. Nice to see you Graham! Come back anytime ;-p
