Yes that is a Brighton post code. Already a week in to my university year I decided I needed a break! In hindsight it was a pretty silly thing to do but I had an amazing time at it. My best mate Jordan had moved down a few weeks before and I thought I'd best let him settle in to uni life before I go and visit so seemed like perfect timing. I got there a few days before his housewarming party so I could catch up with a few friends that lived nearby as well and by Friday the rest of the gang turned up. We'd had previous experiences of the "lads on tour" mentality when the boys came to visit me up north while i was at uni up there - things are always more eventful when you travel a bit out of the way and it was no different down by the seaside.
The time of the party was upon us and it was lovely to meet Jordans new friends and flatmates. He lived with a lovely bunch and they'd taken to him which I was pleased to see and bieng second years they had already settled in to the uni life. Lily, one of the girls Jordan lived with had a mature student on her course that had been at the party and I spent a lot of time talking to him and his plus one. As the night progressed Lily had explained to me in a drunken haze that the older guy I was talking to was actually at the party with a woman he was having an affair with! Fair play to him I thought and cracked open another can.
The party went on for a few more days, God knows how we find the energy sometimes. It was nearing the end of our stay and as we were tidying up my old housemate reminded me that we'd promised to get matching tattoos the night before. Now I'm not sure if I agreed to it bieng a good idea the next day - to get out of cleaning or still a little intoxicated but I agreed to it and before we caught our train back we hit the tattooist. We explained our ideas to him and the rest of the guys at the place were laughing there heads off - "428" the door number of the flat we used to share. Only live once I suppose.
