  The Edinburgh Tour

A Nick Dracott Production........Nuff Said!!

Friday 12th July
7:30 a.m. flight to Edinburgh. Arrive at Jamie Regan's flat which is above a pub and opposite a strip club (how appropriate, Jamie!) The irrepresible Mr Regan is claiming he has a bird a night in his little love nest, which almost certainly means he had 'Chicken Tonight' (again). Pub Crawl ensues and by the evening Dracott is so rat-arsed he is refused admission to the club all the other tour members have got in at. He wanders off to find another club (and some over friendly Scottish bouncers)

Saturday 13th July
Notts make an appearance in a four team 5-a-side tournament. Jamie obviously rates Notts chances as low as he decides to play for a rival team team.
The Notts side are dubbed 'Nick’s No-Hopers'. They score first (inside 20 seconds) before going on to lose 10-2!. The next game against Jamie’s team see them draw 6-5 (!) Apparently Jamie reckons that was the score – disputed hotly by most of the semi-conscious Notts players. The last game is won 7-5. Rich Bagust makes a guest appearance for 2 minutes, scores and then retires to the touchlines. Andy Newham blames Notts poor performance on the fact that "no-one passes to me."
A play off for last place follows, again against Jamie’s team. This time the score really is 6-6 and no-one bothers with penalties. Nick and Jamie decide third place on a game of pool in the bar which Nick won.
The winners were presented with their trophies, polystyrene cups with Scottish Flags stuck on them!
The evening entertainment includes waiting at an 'ex' taxi rank for three hours causing Rob Johnson to become "seriously dehydrated" without necessary alcohol before the pubs of Edinburgh are finally located.

Sunday 14th July
All dayer in the pubs of Edinburgh followed by a trip to the Edinburgh Comedy club that Rich Bagust will not forget in a hurry!

Monday 15th July
Flight back to East Midlands.
