Story of the Weekend

Starring former Charlton striker, Chelsea and West Ham youngster Tosan Popo

So last night two girls came up to me and my boys asking us to buy them two buckets of beer…

The way they were touching and tryna hold on to us cos there was a prospect of them getting free drinks was unbelievable

— TIM (@TimMenace) January 19, 2014

One of the chicks even told me and my pal that her friend would give us head if we got them a bucket of beer which cost 5 bucks… lol

— TIM (@TimMenace) January 19, 2014

At this point I knew we couldn't leave these girls without a drink, it had to be done

So I made my way to the bar whilst @tosan26 was being man marked by one of the girls #touchtight

I then asked the bartender for two buckets… of tap water with some ice. These thirsty bitches needed some #thirsty

When we passed the first drink on, her eyes lit up, she took a sip, then another and finally realized it was water not beer loll

"Hey, its water, you got a bucket of water" "yeah that's on me you thirsty slut, enjoy" loool
