Gary King tells the story of one of the best nights of his life. He starts on June 22nd, 1990 and the adventure he and his friends Oliver Chamberlain, Peter Page, Steven Prince, and Andy Knightley had. He gives a brief background on all of his friends, Oliver's idea that he was a player, Peter's abuse from Shane Hawkins, Steven's crush on Sam Chamberlain, and Andy who he considered his wingman. He goes on to mention their quest to complete the Golden Mile, a pub crawl consisting of The First Post, The Old Familiar, The Famous Cock, The Cross Hands, The Good Companions, The Trusty Servant, The Two Headed Dog, The Mermaid, The Beehive, The King's Head, The Hole in the Wall and finally, The World's End. He relays the events as they happened that night, their time hanging out with Basil, buying weed from Reverend Green, Oliver quitting after The Trusty Servant, having sex with Sam in the bar bathroom, Peter quitting after smoking the weed they bought, and then them quitting before finishing. He finishes by telling the crowd, he knew life would never feel that good again, and then tells his mental health support group, it hasn't. The Group Leader asks if anyone has any comments and Pale Young Man asks him if he is disappointed he never made it to The World's End, Gary tells him no, but then smiles.
