    Default Never again

    Last night was the local english radio station, WRG's, stand up comedy night, with four stand-up comedians from the Comedy Store in London flown over for our amusement. A friend won two tickets so we went along together. Once we got there, we were offered a whole crate (24 cans) of free beer (Carlsberg) if we would sit in the front row. Of course, that turned out to be the row where everyone got insulted (I shall not bore you with the comments made about yours truly). The comics were great, but the free beer was, well, greater. Together we had 12 beers (0.5 liter) between us. And by God, was it a hard job to get back to the bus afterwards: I was completely blotto, waving at people I didn't even know, grinning like a mad Cheshire cat. I got home all right, but before long I had my head over a toilet bowl and this morning my insides feel as though they were scrambled with an egg whisk. In view of this, I have vowed never to drink that much beer again.


    Has anyone else had some rough nights and made similar promises?

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Don't worry, your resolve will only last until you're thirsty again

    I think I've probably stopped drinking even more times than I've quit smoking. But yeah, Carlsberg hangovers can be a bit rough....

    oh god yes


    i mean...it went from best night to worst night ever in (what seems like) 30 seconds
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Any time you get offered free beer, you take it. You never know when it will be the last time it happens.

    Hang on, you had twelve beers between you? Six each?

    I think you need some more practice.

    Agreed.

    But yes I've had some rough mornings trying to complete essays after drinking much Vodka, Jager, and beer the night before.
