17:49:04. This would have been at the, erm . . . could it have been the Oak? I'm really not sure, actually. It was at a pub on Otley Road. That's Tom to the left and Simon with the Parker-style coat. There were a few other pictures like this but they were all a bit too dark (note to self: use the flash). I was trying to capture them 'bonding', you see. P'raps I thought the flash would startle them and they would flee.

17:53:02. So, four minutes later - this must be the same place. I think it's the Original Oak, but I'm a bit confused. Ah well. So here we have Nicola, M**** and Craig. Once again, I still haven't got to grips with the concept of the flash . . . I find it too intrusive but I can see how it would be useful. Therefore, I've tried to enhance this picture to make it a bit lighter. Anyway, nothing too exciting so far . . . everyone still looking controlled . . . almost pensive, you might say. But check out the awful quality of the image. Not good.

18:28:02. So this must have been the Hyde Park. Hmmmm. I think this was number six on our crawl along a select few of the pubs along Otley Road. I had deliberately skipped the Skyrack and a few of those god-awful pubs in Headingley. Rob and I arrived slightly later and slightly wetter than everyone else, and we had thought the ten minute walk might have a sobering effect. Not sure myself.

18:28:08. And then six seconds later I remember to use the flash. Everyone looking a bit more 'aware' this time around.

18:32:02. A few minutes later, someone would have taken this picture of Simon and I . . . dunno who. Note the evidence, though: empty plastic shot glass. Hmmmm. I suspect that contained . . . tequila, yes! Tequila! I remember now. Yes, and I remember Simon throwing salt all over place. "Have you got enough salt there, M****?" as he poured a paper sachet full of salt somewhere in M****'s direction.

18:33:04. Not sure who took this one (to the right there). As you can tell by the time and, no doubt, the chairs, we're still at the Hyde Park.

18:37:08. I think this is one of my favourite pictures from today. This is Gav. I had arranged to meet Gav at The Library at 18:45 so either the clock on my camera is a bit wrong or we were both early. You decide.

18:52:02. And then we have the focused, calm version of Gav. This may have been the second or third attempt. That's Paul and Craig in the background. I think Gav arrived initially with Fluffy Phil (of whom I don't think I have any pictures) but somehow Simon appeared later on. NEXT!

19:50:03. So that's Simon there and that's almost one hour later. Hmmmm, curious. I'm not quite sure how two pictures managed to happen within two seconds of each other . . . well, actually I am but . . . see, there's even this mode where it will take pictures every few seconds until you let go of the shutter. I think it's intended for sports and fast moving stuff . . . I dunno. Can I go now?

19:50:05. Darren's appeared from somewhere - that's him in the background below the lights. I used to live with Darren. Only for a few months mind. It was a six bedroom rented house on Stanmore Street and one of the housemates kind of went a bit odd and moved out one day. So, erm, then Darren appeared and I've known his since. And I was wrong back there, because that's Fluffy Phil there to the right. I'm not sure if this is the Eldon or the other one . . . erm, the Packhorse? Yes I am. This is the Packhorse, surely. Did we even go to the Eldon?

19:51:09. Another dull pub scene. Maybe I should delete this one. No, maybe not, actually. This and the following two pictures seem to be in some kind of sequence. And I like the depth here. Some people are near the camera and some people are far from the camera. Mmmmmm.

19:51:08. I don't trust the seconds here. I reckon this followed the previous picture.

19:51:04. Going back in time. Nicola succumbs to blur and strangers try to infiltrate the group. I think we spent quite a while at the Eldon.

20:20:01. I don't know if this is the same pub or not. The walls look the same. So that's Rob on the right, doing god knows what. Darren, in the black shirt looking ever so slightly uncomfortable . . . and we know the others.

20:28:06. And then things started to get blurry. This looks suspiciously like the Eldon, but I barely remember being there. Although M**** says it was here that Gav ordered a load of some kind of Schnapps for everyone . . . toffee, maybe? Caramel?
