Hangover stories, lets be havin’ ‘em!

@Sir Fallsalot Oh by crikey I know what you mean. 17 years old, failed my first driving test (bit of a shock at the time cos Id never failed anything before), went home and my dad was having a day off, told him and he helped me get over it with cider and then whisky.... holy crappoly I wanted to die. My mum came home from work and was furious. I remember her saying “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER????!” My dad replied “ITS HER FAULT SHE LED THINGS HERE” The next day I was so ill I passed out at the top of the stairs and surfed down on my face, my mum made my dad phone in sick so he could look after me. He wanted to go to the farm shop (for hangover cure food) but decided I was too ill to leave so he carried me to the car and with a bowl to vomit in and I went on the worse journey of my life I didnt know how ill I was until later in life when I discovered my dad had never ever rung in sick before and the only reason I wasnt taken to hospital was the preceding week both my brothers had been taken to A&E with the last visit one of them being admitted for a head injury which occurred when my dad was swinging us around and misjudged a swoop... smack .. my wee bro who had a knack of saying the wrong things at the wrong time said in A&E “why did daddy do this to me?” So we were on the health visitors radar and alcohol poisoning at the hands of dad would have been a finisher But I live in Somerset and if you dont drink cider you have to leave, tis the law... kinda so I drank the hairy nailed bullet and got over it. Whisky though took over twenty years and a mighty toothache

What you got to do to it? And more importantly are we gonna get a pic?

You dont know why

Played this out loud. It wasn’t appreciated by the heathens. Think you had to be there at he time!

“Western themed” ? Just I took my kiddiwinks there once many moons ago and was flashed by a ‘cowboy’ (strange bloke in fancy dress) and havent looked that way since

No way?! Im pretty damn close to that. Jeezus its not that freaky cowboy thing is it?

Bandit. It’s supposed to be my cheap dont care about it winter hack/general purpose bike. Turns out I love em regardless so not panned out the way I expected

Ah yes a good front’ll do it

I dont want to take mine to the garage. It doesn’t feel right since I got it back. Not as sharp.

Cross near Axbridge. Woz odd my bezzies expect a certain level of attendance to appearance and didn’t recognise me getting off the bike.

Picked up my bike from the garage this morning. What is this weird separation anxiety that occurs when youre parted from your bike? Or is that just me?!

Uhum!

Im still ‘ere just about Ride out in the sunshine today Met some olduns but gooduns n ate in the sunshiny garden of a pub Bought gin on the way home, not had one of my favourites since last summer tastes pretty weird now

Love it. Fantastic pic

Let’s see ‘em then. Just for clarity of the twisted minds here I mean pics of the bike not the prostitute.

Ah yes bifes and other beef, roast beef and steak ones I’m familiar, comones is new and a good’n!

Here all tourists are called ‘Grockles’

Prefer a bit more of the ol’ cliche ‘live and let live’ myself.

Thinking more suitable for Pete in the Spanish sunshine

Now thats a ride Id really like to hear a report on

Did it land up in spam or junk mail? All mine did.

I did! I just had you marked up as one of those folk who only posts bike content... fortunately you’ve just failed on that score

I keep waiting for another instalment even though youre done! Got another trip in the works?

Had to look it up, Ill always stand out as a guiri, very pale skin is a dead giveaway
