Veteran of many a visit to Berlin, The Stag managed to elude both any major embarrassments and a hangover, thanks to a surly temperament and weak beer. Despite this, he managed just 7.5 hours sleep, as he tried to cram in as much nightlife and obscure historical sightseeing as he could.

Another frequent visitor to the city, Tallen, the bestman, did a sterling job in organization. As feared he packed his suitcase with Pringles, but had to refill at duty free on the way there.

Absconded with 150 euro deposit!

Tined proved the dreaded Haines drinking gene is alive and well. After a heavy night on the ale, Tom went to bed in high spirits. Unfortunately those 'spirits' would be repeating on him several hours later. After over 25 trips to the toilet, Tined eventually rose at 8.00pm, claiming to have consumed a dodgy 'currywurst'.

Despite moaning about his 'new shoes' and with a passing resemblance to a dustbin man, Bruce made it his mission to consume as many burgers and drink as much alcohol as he possibly could. Mission accomplished.

As usual, got surly.

The camera shy Haz, had flown in a couple days earlier to enjoy a romantic weekend together with Snarf. Having visited NEW FRIENDS in Leipzig, Haz eventually found the time for his old friends. With his happy go lucky hippy attitude the Stasi would surely have had his card marked.

If ever Dave’s eating abilities were brought into question then a 15 min period at the Stock Xchange bar would have put minds at rest. Having agonizingly watched Danny struggle with half a pig, Pipes duly took over and devoured what was left. A much anticipated plate off between Dave and Tony is rumoured.

A Black and White kind of guy, the Hoff slipped back into the city of his greatest triumph somewhat unnoticed. Despite the rumoured reunion sing song on the Berlin Wall, this time the Hoff seemed a little more reserved!

Gavs ability to sleep for long periods was an unknown talent – Although we should have released from watching him play up front over the years! Looked after (laughed at) a ill Tined.

Fearing Baz had already being stalking the girls of Berlin on Facebook it came to everyone’s surprise that he didn’t wonder off at some point.

(NB: Pictured with a wide angle lens! )

Pat made an early announcement; One - He was due to become a proud father later this year and Two - He would be retiring from nights hereafter! Firm handshakes and congratulations all around.

Didn't like being filmed.

Disappointingly, no trainer and blazer combination this time. The Spurs supporting 'Adopted American' proved that unlike most Yorkshireman he wasn’t that tight...buy duly buying a round of shots at the first available moment!

Honourable mention - A broken gearbox put pay to Wayne’s much anticipated return to Berlin. A shame for all those who witnessed his antics on the dance floor in Qdorf listening to Rammstein.
