I had to put this post under health................
My beautiful Daughter was 40 years old over the weekend, And since the lock down we decided to celebrate it in style the whole family congregated on this little place i live in which has a big communal room exactly for celebrations family gatherings ETC.. Now comes the crunch i had been sober for the last 4 months. A certain guy sent me a bottle of 40% Barbados rum and soft lad here wasn't happy until the bottle was empty The consequence's after having an out of body experience about 4am... 8am this morning did i have a hang over i had a head like Birkenhead, I didn't know whether it was xmas day, Boxing day, Bank holiday Monday , or Sheffield Wednesday, I am shaking like a Shi*ing dog , I think i am on my 4th pot of coffee NEVER AGAIN until next time Terry.

NO SYMPATYHY Terry,
TOUGH, HOPE YOU SUFFER
Now if you had invited me you would only have drunk half a bottle, me the other half and you would only feel half as bad.

Re: I had to put this post under health................
Terry, it goes to show one thing.
Here is a skill you have never lost, and it shows you still know how to put it to good use.
MY advice, do not go so long between activities, you must keep the skill alive, how else will the next generation learn unless you pass the skill on?


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Good job you experienced your "out out of body" on the 4-8 watch rather than the graveyard watch 12-4 Terry. Just the one bottle of Pussers? Time was you'd have been last man standing.
