-= Rachel =-
Well jesus on toast. I've been one half of The Rachels with this girl for almost ten years now. Where on Earth did that time go? (Any mention here about drunken hazes are purely coincidental). Although we're famed for doing strange things like singing "There's A Hole In My Phone" at the top of our voices while shopping, or calling each other at 9am after a night out with the question "Why are my feet black, and more urgently, why isn't the blackness coming off?", we know that we can turn to each other whenever we need advice/a boot up the arse/a refill of whatevers around with a percentage proof, and thats what keeps our friendship as strong as it is. Its not often you find a friend that'll be there no matter what. We have our own brandname, our own couches in pubs, our own bar crawl, and its probably not all that long until we have drinks named after us. Here's to the next ten years hon!
-clinks glasses : smashes glasses : awkward pause : much giggling-
Funniest Moment: Rachel asking the barman in Henry J's for a straight OJ, causing him to almost cry with laughter.

-= Raymond & Jaymond =-
Okay, so that's not strictly their names. Well, that's Ray's real name, but I don't call him that. And that's not Jay's real name, but I still call him that. And yes, you did read that correctly. These guys were always a duo, just like Rach and I. In the summer of 2000, we'd meet up every week to party in Greenhouse (think couches/drinks/barmen with glowing hair...rather than plants/outdoors/strange hairy gardeners): Rach and I working our way through the cocktail list, the guys up at the machines, winning money to pay for the next round. Whenever there was trouble, Jay would be the one to offer advice, Ray would be the one to pick up the pieces. It felt like the summer would never end. Then it did. It's all changed nowadays...Ray did bad things, Jay left town and now Rach and I have moved to a different bar. Funny how life turns out eh? I'm pretty sure this chapter has closed now; but I think that if we ever did all meet up again, things would be as crazy as they once were. If we could just stop Jay from killing Ray.
Memorable Moment: Having an ice cube fight in Greenhouse which resulted in smashed glasses/alcohol flooding the floor, alot of glares from everyone else in the bar, and the four of us trying desperately not to laugh but not succeeding at all.

-= Ben & Mark =-
If I didn't know these guys better, I'd be disturbed by the fact I always see them in the supermarket buying worryingly domesticated things like water filters/vegetables/strange looking devices I think have something to do with housework... but then, I do know them better. And I know that Ben is the loudest, craziest, will-say-anything-to-anyone half of a longterm relationship, while Mark is the quiet and shy other half. Its quite hilarious how you'll have Ben shinning up a fairground ride one night to steal a Santa hat, and complaining bitterly another time that he's never coming to a certain shop again because someone reversed into his car. I think I know why Mark is so quiet in comparison; he mustn't be able to get a word in edgeways -w-
Interesting Creation: Ben's Hallowe'en Balloon Animal Spider, which looked more like an octopus, and ended up with penises and dogs as tentacles.
