My favourite uncle? I dont have one. But I do... But no really...

In my last post I completely left out my uncle Aidan, who was also in Holland during the holidays and with who I spent new years....

He was (of course) disappointed as was I, because how can I forget about Aidan.

Now Aidan, you should feel special as you are the only one who has an entire story dedicated to yourself.

So here are just a few reasons why I love Aidan.

- When I went down to Tralee for one weekend, we all went out and ended up in nightclub/bar thing, all enjoying our pints and all of a sudden this guy walks up from the bathroom with blood EVERYWHERE, holding his nose... I go "Wooo a fight, lets have a look" Aidan says Ehhh noo Emma lets go. As we walk outside he is doing his best to get us away from there and not get us in any trouble. Very protective.

- Aidan introduced me to Creans which is now my favourite beer!!

- When my uncle turned 50 (his eldest brother) we all went out for dinner and beers, now we can all imagine what happens next. I had a bottle of wine by the time we finished dinner and when we all got to the pub and got our pints, half of the family was wearing nappys on their heads.... As if that wasnt a good sign to go home, one of the uncles (supposed to be responsible) got all of us shots.... It didnt stop there, because then everybody had to get shots and more pints. Fine, we all drank our drinks and when the pub closed we had to go home. Now Aidan and I were staying at my grandmothers and she lives beside the uncle that turned 50. I had to go to the bathroom before we went home (even though we were just across the road...) when I got outside, everybody was gone but Aidan and Mick. "Ready Emma?" NOOO guysss we have to get PIZZZAAAA. The alcohol hit me like a ROCK as soon as I stepped outside. "No Emma, were ok for food lets just go home" So I run off into a pizza place and order pizza. Come outside to wait until its ready and sit down on the pavement, we all know that sitting down in that state ends up in lying down.. So as I lay down in broken glass and cigarettes, Aidan and Mick are telling me to get the fuck up from off the ground (makes sense). Me being me I refused and left them to pick me up from the ground obviously not helping them and letting my body be drunk and motionless, which is all good except they were saying, that it looked reaaallly weird to all the women walking out of the pub I was in front off that 2 men were picking up this motionless girl of the street. ANYHOWS, we got the pizza (or they got the pizza) and went home, sat in the grandmothers kitchen and they basically ate the pizza as I kept falling of my chair... Aidan told me to drink some water and I did agree that might be a good idea. I grabbed a measuring jug and filled it with water. Aidan asks me "Emma why didnt you just grab a glass?" Welll this was just closer... duh.. As I am drinking the water like I hadnt had water in yeaaars, Aidan tells me " good job Emma you just drank 2 ounces of water" I started laughing and the water came through my nose and it was just a horrible sight... They finished the pizza and we all decided that bed was a good idea... I got sick that night ( a lot) and fell asleep in the bathroom for about an hour and was terribly hungover the next day. Aidan was fine....

- Trouble by Horselips, if you dont know it, go youtube it now. Was basically the car song during the summer.

- We spent new years together drinking pints of Creans aaaaand missing the 12 o clock mark...... Either way was a very good night. We wished each other happy new year at 11 when it was 12 in Holland. Counts for something I suppose!!

- When he was in Holland in November he cycled home like this.

- Christmas eve... We were in a pop quiz and the last part of the quiz was to sing a song (Dutch song..) without getting the lyrics... I complained and said that half my team doesn't speak Dutch and there was no way I was going to sing a song with just my friend, so the band was kind enough to play an English song...
AND THROUGH IT AAAAAAALL SHE OFFERS ME PROTECTION, A LOT OF LOVE AND AFFECTION WHETHER IM RIGHT OR WROOOONG.... Yes that was our song.. I was very glad Aidan was there because he did most of the singing as I immediately gave him the microphone (couldnt deal with that) We got the crowd singing though!!

- Basically, Aidan and I always have a good time. I can have a good serious conversation with him or we can just be the retards dancing to music all by ourself. Always good times!! Im sorry I forgot about you Aidan, wont happen again!!
