*Comes back from lunch*

(and not a liquid lunch, before anybody starts)

Eek, I had a feeling this would happen…

Yep – I had 2 pints of cider, and I drove. Not the cleverest thing I’ve ever done, and I don’t want to start a debate on tolerance…

But 'those who are without sin cast the first stone' and all that. If somebody has never done anything with a potential element of risk than they can feel free to call me what they like.

To quote the song, ‘I’m only Human, of flesh & Blood I’m made’. I live in the real world and I’m not going to pretend I’ve never done anything wrong.

If I had been stopped by the police, They would have arrested me, and quite rightly. I broke the law. But I wasn't, and apart from somebody twatting into my car it would have been a pretty uneventful drive.

Besides…what about the person who hit me? Were they drunk? If so, they’re lucky that I drove away. And what if they weren’t drunk?, then they drove into me sober? What does that prove? I don’t know.

I am NOT saying what I did I was right – I am NOT saying that it was acceptable – like many things I’ve done in the past…The thing is that I have admitted it, I wasn’t bragging about it and I’ll take whatever flaming is thrown at me. I don’t mind – but perhaps some people should take off their bandwagon-jumping, ‘holier than thou’ hats – particularly when their own profiles are full of wrongdoings.

So say what you want, but if you do, I expect you all to dish out equal amounts of grief to any future posts with drug / theft / infidelity / any-sort-of-illegal reference…

Because anything else would be double standards…

On your marks…

Pretty much what I expected.
I know that you've got enough sense to not drive when pissed.

Like you said, t'was a silly thing to do, but oh well.
If we were all sensible and law-abiding all of the time, b3ta would be a fucking boring place.

So true
Theres never any excuse to drink and drive, but at least he was honest about it, and shows regrets.

A funny story:

My dad was once driving home drunk, he didn't want to especially but an emergancy meant he had to be somewhere and decided the risk was worth it if he drove very slowly. It was about 3 am in the Birmingham area.
While driving round a roundabout on completely empty roads, he missed his turning off, and in his drunkenness, he decided maybe it'd be OK to reverse back and take the turning rather than continue round the big roundabout.

Unfortunately however, no sooner had he started reversing, a car came out of nowhere and bumped into the back of the car. Not a big crash, just a fender bender. He was going to do a pooflake and just drive off, when a police car followed the crashee round the corner.

My dad sat there sweating and knowing the worst was about to happen while the policeman talked to the driver in the car behind. Then he approached my dads car.

Shaking, he opened the window, and waited for the breathalyser. The policeman arrived, grinned, and said "No worries mate, your cars hardly scratched. But the guy who hit you is so fucked he can hardly stand, over twice the limit. He said he thought you were driving BACKWARDS round the roundabout! It's amazing he found the ignition in the first place! You'd better get on home. Have a nice night".

That was a bit of a wake up call, a lesson to be learned indeed!

Oooh...

Until now, to 'do a Pooflake' meant 'to disastrously papper your pants or an unsuspecting area in some comedic fashion'...and to be honest I'd rather still rather it be known for that than drink driving thanks.

I still love "pulling an Enzyme"
That is, to stay in a brothel, thinking it's a cheap and cheerful hotel.

Apologies to pooflake
Somethings illegal can be fun but not when you put, or there is the potential to put, other people at risk.

Sorry if I went off one a bit mate, I doubt you are a cunt - you're probably a really decent bloke but drink-driving is one of the few things that hits a nerve with me.

No apologies necessary...

My life is strewn with mistakes (ones that I have been responsible for and ones that I have been victim of) that could have been prevented if people like yourself and some people replying above had been around to prevent them happening in the first place.

I was going to say 'There is always a place for morals and ethics', but then I remembered what site I was on.

But you're wrong about one thing...I am a cunt.

manhug for pooflake
I deleted my 'off-topic' post and some of my replies here. Like you so rightly pointed out, this isn't the sort of place where morals and ethics have much meaning.

I take a big hooter of charlie at the weekend just for you xoxox
