Not Desperation Exactly
More like relief - though I was gagging for a pint.

A few years ago I landed an uber-high-paying contract. Two weeks on a secure site doing emergency server rebuilds. I was working 14 hours on, 10 off for two weeks and eating,sleeping and shitting on site. As such, there was no chance to grab a quick beer as all I wanted to do at the end of a shift was hit the sack.

Then, after two weeks, we'd finished. Piled into cars and headed for the nearest pub.

I tell you, that first pint was like an angel pissing on my tonsils.

Cheers

Like the username...
Reminds me of someone?

Oh yes - the pissartist formerly known as the artist formerly known as the pretentious idiot who can't sing and wouldn't understand intellectual property law if it smacked him in the chops.

But I Must Point Out
That the phrase "angel pissing on my tonsils" was borrowed from Kev "Bloody" Wilson. First time I heard it I knew exactly what he meant so I've used it ever since.

And, I'd also like to point out that most, hell no, all of the words in this post were borrowed from other people. I didn't invent any of them.

Although K, still claims that he heard me say that I invented the indefinite article "the".

Just mentioning this in case someone comes along and claims that I pinched the story from somewhere else.

Jesus, I;m getting defensive :)
