Having filled myself with beverages and vindaloo and somehow made it to work in the morning, sit on the toilet and smoke a Marlboro.

In some ways the world is a better place now.

that sounds like a potentially explosive combination. I'm amazed you survived

Push your bike to the top of a very steep hill, and then ride down it as fast as possible.

I remember doing this on a golf course. Jumped the bunker, landed great but then proceeded to slide along the green gouging a huge mark across it with the pedal. The guy who was just about to chip onto the green didn't shout, swear, throw a club at me or anything just stared wondering WTF ?!

I then picked my bike up running into the bushes before I relaised my shoulder was a bit sore as I'd broken my collar bone.

Serves me right !

I caught up on sleep on the weekends as I wouldn't have my day job to go to.

I was saving up to go abroad for 3 months, couldn't do it now.



Edit. I used to be able to drink 12 pints of Guinness in one long session and still be standing - couldn't do that now either!

I never was a fan of pernod but had a smiliar experience on Yates Wine Lodge Aussie White (it was actually a mix of sweet white wine and Brandy if I rememebr correctly).

I actually quite liked the stuff in moderation but after a bottle and a half one night couldn't stand the smell/taste of it for quite some time - and I think post #5 above was the outcome that night !

Dunno if you can still get it and would give it a try for nostalgia sake
