I had a very boozy night which ended with someone suggesting I down two pints of navy rum and I decided it was a good idea and drank them. Followed this up by trying to cycle home from the pub

Fair play - Did you make it home somehow though ?

Dunno if you can still get it and would give it a try for nostalgia sake
Yates!! Leicester Christmas 1972, Several glasses of white port then a congo through some fancy store and a dance in the town hall fountain. Then a spirited run back to college, the local constabulary joined in the chase but I lost them by hiding in the ladies loos.

I did but woke up next morning with a bump on my head and bits of branch in my hair and no recollection of what happened on the way home and how I got to bed

Did this actually happen, or, after necking the port, did you just end up watching an episode of the Benny Hill show?...

Still do that but take the chairlift up and the bike has 8" of suspension.

Drinking and driving comes to mind but the worst was borrowing a set of lights off the top of a cop car - got in major shit for that one.

It happened. It was winter and we were clothed. Yates then was old school with benches and grime and passes out tramps.

Benny Hill, ffs.

Dear God...Yates in Leicester! That brings forth a few memories best forgotten! Some invoving the dreadful Pernod! I was born in The Poplars in Leicester.

I'm sorry but the damage is done. From now on, whenever I read any of your posts, they're forever going to be accompanied by "that" music.

I used to wear short shorts, not a hope in hell these days. My pernod moment was two large brandy balloons of southern comfort, seemed like a good idea, couldnt touch the stuff for a year or so and then became imune to the stuff.

The last time I got seriously trollied was about ten years ago

I also used to ride my RD350 at full throttle everywhere too, then I had a kid.
Where does the time go.

Me and my student room mates were probably responsible for the apparent shortage of road signs and traffic cones in the Sheffield are in the early 90's. For some reason after a few pints of snakebite and black we thought they made great student digs decorations

On the plus side, I let my Dad have a few of the traffic cones for his football team training.
