29th of December 2005
The Beginning
Myself, Tash, Hai Lin, [Oscar], [Pete], Lauren, Seth and [Glyn] had set everything up.
Most people had arrived by 8 and it was going ok. It was a bit crowded but if moving wasn’t your thing it was generally a pretty good party.
Costumes
The party was fancy dress with the theme of Youth Culture. A lot of people didn’t bother but many other did. Some especially memorable ones are as follows:
Travis and Lauren: Gangster and his bitch
Simon, Kate, Ellerby, [Glyn]: Punk
[Pete]: White Rasta
Seth: Jordan
Jordan: Martin
Martin: Martin
Olly Bradley: Geek
Unexpected Visitors
Sarah then came and told me that Burger was outside. He asked if he could come in with his mate Scott and Claire Tomlinson, Beth Copping and Sophie Green from my year. I agreed and they piled in.
It wasn’t long before I realised that Aaron Warner, Aaron Large (I think that’s his name) and Ben Turner had arrived. I was assured by Burger that they were safe so I let them stay. Then Jamie, Matt Rutherford and his cronies appeared. I kicked them out with the help of Burger.
The Missing iPod
Minutes afterwards a very distressed Teresa ran up to me tears streaming from her eyes. Her iPod and purse had come missing. Her purse containing £50.
She rang her parents who rushed around. They talked to my mum in the study and rang the police.
The parents left and Teresa vowed to have a good party regardless.
The Pond
Tash was dared by someone (she can’t remember who) to go in the pond. She stepped in and dipped her face in.
Ben Turner said she was stupid for doing this which infuriated Tash slightly. Moments later Turner found himself in the pond. He scrambled out and filled a Carling can with pond water and poured it over her. They pushed each other for a bit before Tash left the area.
The Great Beaning
About a month ago, Teresa made out with Tom Collier. Tom’s girlfriend Sarah King found out about it and got angry. She forgave Tom but wanted vengance on Teresa. When he told her he was going to a party that Teresa was at she decided to hunt her down.
She somehow found out where I live and marched to my door and let herself in. I said “Hi” but she ignored me.
She made her way to my sister’s room where Teresa was. The angry girlfriend produced a load of curried baked beans mixed with egg and flung it at an unexpecting Teresa. Most of it missed. She then thrusted Teresa into a light before leaving.
Teresa thought the beans tasted funny and began laughing.
I can’t help but feel that it was I who lost out in that event.
The Mystery of the Phone and the Coat
Tash rushed up to me to say that she had lost her mobile. It had been in her handbag and it had gone. She rang it and her ringtone became audible. The sound was coming from a coat. The coat did not belong to Tash. Jordan took the phone from the coat and Tash threw the coat into the pool.
When I heard about this I went into the pool room to check it out. A small group of people followed me there. [Dave Legg] (being a genius) managed to get the coat out without falling in himself. We looked for a wallet or some kind of ID but there was none. Seth suggested that we carry it around asking everyone if it was theirs. We did this and found the owner:
Ben Turner. He was pissed off that his coat had been put in the pool. I explained that there had been a phone found in it and that he should leave. However before he could leave there was a ringing on my house phone.
It was someone looking for Ben Turner. I was very confused as to how this person had got my number. Eventually it turned out that he had used caller ID. Apparently Ben had used my house phone to ring his mate earlier. I didn’t remember giving permission for this but I suppose anything’s possible in this crazy world.
Dave’s iRiver
Around 12ish Dave (Perry) realised that his iRiver had gone missing. It had been seen very recently and everyone was pretty sure that no one had left recently. Therefore it must still be in the house.
He said that if anyone had it and gave it him back he wouldn’t mind. But if no one did and he found out someone stole it later he would press charges.
Brett decided to take matters into his own hands. He began frisking everyone with the help of his cousin Chris (Tommo). He frisked many people and discovered that they were carrying nothing unlawful but then he came across Aaron Warner. Aaron was carrying a coat which Chris took while Brett began to frisk him. However, before any frisking could take place Chris found my laptop in Aaron’s coat.
Aaron made a run for it but Brett got in the way of the gate. Charlotte came to tell me what had happened and I immediately told my mother and aunt. My mother went to the gate while Jill (aunt) rang the police.
Brett was doing a great job at stopping Aaron and his friends get out but they outnumbered him. My mum told Aaron that the police had been called and that he must stay and wait for them to arrive. For some reason he decided that he didn’t want to do this and tried to leave. Brett, my mother and Charlotte pinned him to the wall. Some of his friends pulled them off him while others scaled the walls.
Burger, Aaron Large, Aaron Warner and Scott all scarpered but Ben Turner decided to stay.
The Police and the Pool
The police arrived at around 0130. Everything was explained by my mother, Brett and Chris. They said that they would arrest Aaron Warner.
When the police left Charlotte decided to go in the pool to fish out some of the stuff that had got in there.
When she had reemerged, Brett, Chris, SFFI (Simon from [Fallen Idle]) and Dave (Perry) left. Everyone remaining were sleeping over. So we went upstairs.
Sleeping
I had missed a lot of the finer points of the conversations with one thing and another but I quickly caught up.
Apparently SFFI had been telling everyone (but especially Hai Lin) to suck his cock for the last three hours.
Lauren, Travis and Martin slept in my room and Sam, [Oscar], Hai Lin, Charlotte, Tash, John Gunstone and myself slept in my sister’s room. After a bit, Freya returned from Tom Collier’s house and joined us in my sister’s room.
The original sleeping arrangements had Charlotte in a makeshift bed made from two chairs, John, Tash and me in the bed, and Oscar, Sam, Freya and Hai Lin on a matress on the floor. However after some torturing tickling from John and Tash, I swapped places with Hai Lin.
I was cold all night and I kept waking up and slapping Sam round the back of the head. Gunstone was also flailing his arms and legs around and asking everyone “Where the fuck am I?” in his sleep.
Morning
When I woke up Martin Murphy had gone home. It wasn’t long before Charlotte had also gone, quickly followed by Lauren and Travis and then Freya and Sam.
My mum had already tidied up most of the downstairs with the help of Oscar which meant we didn’t have too much to do.
[Oscar], Hai and Tash had some cereal while Gunstone made himself at home helping himself to my food.
We went into the pool room to see that not everything had been retreived by Charlotte the night before. With the use of a handy net Gunstone and myself fished out two belts, two necklaces, a pair of goggles, a cigarette, two candlestick holders (one with candle) and lots of mince pies.
When Oscar, Hai Lin and Tash had left and I had made them promise to come back Gunstone and I began debeaning. We did this for about an hour before Gunstone had to leave. I did a bit more, intervalled by a visit from Kate and Pud.
