Details of the Badgers Abroad 2008 awards ceremony held at The Gun on the 9th December 2008

Sharpie wonders what strange, exotic drinks the girls were getting ready.  Water.  It went untouched

 

Big Al (taking the oath?), Lords Smudge and Rudders 

 

Brewer, Stoners and Genty

 

Mikey B and EC

 

All we needed now was the gin and tonic....

 

Big Nige and AV look less than inmpressed to be offered solids, having specifically selected the liquid lunch option

 

Big Al and Genty tot up the votes for 2009's tour destination.  Jerry barely awake with the excitement

 

Neither Jerry or Nigel would own up to having letting one go

 

This was Harrys dinner.  We know that because the name card tells us so.  Sometimes it's the only way Harry knows his name as well

 

Sharpo gives a clear indication of how he always views life

 

Fed up with being just a mere Lord, Rudders decides to step it up a notch and become royalty. Brewer politely ignores the fact that it's only a paper crown.  Now he really is Essex royalty.....

 

Caruso wins the pre-dinner treasure hunt for a fat fucker.  X marks the spot!!

 

Caruso politely maintains a conversation, trying to ignore Sharpo curling one in his chair (the mucky Fat Badger)

 

'And this Harry, is what we call a mobile phone.  Some people even answer them'.  Mikey B attempts to educate Basildons finest 

 

The trophy cabinet

 

Rudders gets presented with his Best Badger Winners trophy as Nige and Smudge gaze adoringly at each other.  Best not share a villa with them in 2009.........

 

Caruso gets presented with the Wankard Tankard for Worst Overall Performance

 

Big Nige accepts the Worst Overall Team trophy on behalf of The Cheekies (JD not present, trying out a new activity known in some circles as 'work')..........

 

........but he were there in spirit!!!!!!

 

Sharpo and H receive their Winning Team Trophys.  Harry finally comes clean about what really happened that night at Kennys in Marbella........

...........'and then I gripped it like this and he exploded all over my face'

 

Caruso presents Lord Smudge with the Trade Contractors Winning Team Trophy

 

Big Nige congratulates Smudge on his captaincy skills.  At least that what we think he was saying

 

Big Al reads out the result of the vote for 2009's tour destination

 

Brewer mishears and still believes we're off to Vale do Lesbo's.  He's booked 3 for the first night..... 

 

Having not won anything, Mikey Blue gets presented with the pubs pot plant to prevent 'the sulk'. Big Al deep in conversation with EC

 

A trophy.  On a table.  Surrounded by glasses

 

The winning team celebrate shortly before wrecking the trophies (they were told not to hold them by the handles the imbeciles)

 

Sharpo agrees to Harry's suggestion to visit Kennys next time they're in Marbella together for a little man love

 

Big Al was saddened to hand over his Wankered Tankered from 2007

 

'And if you sniff it, you can still smell Kennys' jacksie'

 

Nige celebrates being on the worst team by lighting a large cigar.  As he's 7 foot 6, that is a large cigar, he just makes it look small.  He uses the same excuse for his dick.  Helen says it's a load of rubbish

 

Genty leads by example, the wise old Bagder

 

'And I can tell you, it's not travertine'.  EC is astonished by Lord Smudges extensive knowledge of materials

 

A brace of Badgers (and chins)
