    However, since a certain experience I had one night involving far too much cider and Pernod and the inability to extricate myself from the bath, I cannot go near either of those again.

    i got very ill on cider when i was 16 at a party, i couldn't touch it for 20 years but i now enjoy the odd pint now and again, just mind over matter to get over that feeling of nausia i used to have if i went near it.

    I was drinking round a friends one evening while we recorded what he'd produced from DAT to CD recorder & had a few drinks whilst doing it. Upon completion his flatmates other half who i knew quite well turned up & offered me some Tequila... I proceeded to sample various bottles as she & her boyfiend had just got back from a holiday in Mexico Upon being run home we happened to drop in on her other half who happened to work in a bar at a social club (Thomas cook) & he served me a double Tequila on the house What happened after that i'm not quite sure, i think i must have gone back to the flat, though it's all kind of hazy. What i do know is that i eventually got escorted home & i was let through the front door by whoever transported me, they locked me in & posted the keys through the letterbox as i was kind of leaning against the door

    The next day i woke up drunk, not hung over I went into work & managed to electrocute myself at least 3 times with a 4.5KV flash tester. I think i got home at the end of the day & by that time i was getting the hangover bit
    Bests, Mark

    Superb dedication.

    I used to brew my own cider, I used double sugar and yeast and finally decanted into bottles with a little bit more sugar. This produced a highly quaffable "light" tasting cider. Unfortunately, it was so quaffable, that 2 of us managed to drink 3 gallons of it in one night.

    Well folks, it's been a while since we last did this. I said I'd do it every 6 months, but we thought we'd give it a rest for a bit. So now it's over 18 months since we last saw an indication of how pissed off our loved ones really are with us - empirical evidence of our on-line existences.

    So let's see who's spending too much time at the keyboard then shall we?
    No prizes for guessing who's top of the tree..............

    I was rather shocked to see my total posts have doubled since the last time. It's nice to see there are lots of the newer names in there which is good............or bad if you're married to them!
