After quite a heavy night in the pub yesterday, I'm feeling a little jaded, I don't drink much these days due to financial circumstances ( plus living with 2 borderline alcoholics tends to put you off ). So my tolerance is way down.
But little bruv was buying more than his fair share and we have found a local boozer that does Guiness for £2.25 a pint, that may not seem cheap to anyone 'ooop t'North' but here in Sarf Lahndan, that's practically giving it away.
So in my quest to do at least a 'post a day' I shall regale you of a situation where I made a complete arse of myself.

"Who is this Bingo Wings that I keep overhearing people talking about, is he any good and do you have any MP3's I could listen to?"The piss was most mercilessly ripped from me and to this day it is brought up at social gatherings along with asking if I've ever heard the bootleg session he did with Dado Rail.
