Off Topic The Burly Arms

Yeah the boys fine now mate, even went football training this morning. Happy days.

I've been busy at work we're setting up a new house and I've been given the job of setting it up from scratch, so plenty of paperwork, insurances etc. etc. to sort out.

All good though as I'm now a manager so my money has taken quite a nice lift

Not working until Wednesday now though. Not on this weekend, got BH Monday off and I never work Tuesdays. Sweeet.

 

Brilliant stuff...get the Booda out and enjoy.

 

Been listening to Dark Side Of The Moon and Hunky Dory whilst ironing my shirts, and getting ready for the Cup Final

 

Laughing at the Spuds bitterness at Arsenal winning the FA cup.

 

Suffering from a dirty hangover.

Had a bit of the good stuff last night for the first time in a while, then after copious amounts of cider in the sun (which I likely got a touch of sunstroke from), we decided to end the night with a joint which proved a terrible decision, there's a reason people say "weed before beer and you're in the clear, beer before grass and you're on your arse".

Ended up basically stacking through my front and then obviously decided that was a nice place to lay because I woke up at about 6:30 in need of a piss and then clocked that half my body was outside the flat.

Usually I'm quite sensible on nights out these days and know my limit but every once in a while my 27 year old brain tries telling my body that I'm 18 again and that I can handle all the **** like a pro... All I know is thank **** tomorrow is a bank holiday because a 2-day recovery is essential.

 

**** off you rank amateur child.

27.

Thinks he's old.

****er.

 

You mad bro?

 

You're mad if you think you're old at 27 and your body can't process the booze anymore. You're in your prime mate!

 

Depends how hard you hit it when your younger.

I was a borderline alcoholic at 16/17 and my body struggles with large amounts now.

 

Must've peaked early. In decline now. I reckon the sunstroke definitely made things worse, the half a gram or so and joint just finished me off, let alone the booze.

I ain't one of those health freaks either, my 'dad bod' is probably more suited to someone twice my age. Even got grey hairs peaking through the beard and barnet. ****ed mate I'm telling you.

Define borderline alcoholic.

 

Straight vodka first thing in the morning almost every morning.

 

How did that start?

 

By 'enjoying' my drink, then losing my job, becoming no fixed abode and sofa surfing started to 'enjoy' it a bit too much.

 

Well done for turning it around fella.

 

Not sure if genuine or not...

Working on assumption it is, then thanks

I was assigned a one to one alcohol worker who on our first meeting said something that stuck with me:

"You're not an alcoholic yet, but are very close. Once someone is an alcoholic then they are for life, they're either one who drinks constantly or not at all"

Made me realise that if I ever wanted to enjoy it socially (bearing in my mind I wasn't even old enough yet!) I had to sort my **** out... which I did.

Does ruin my body now though, even 3/4 cans will have me ****ting for about a week... and if I do two nights in a row I'm absolutely trashed for days afterwards.

 

Was definitely serious mate. Well done.

 

Cheers

 

Stick to the DMT mate
