This is magnificent.
I had never before encountered the tequila suicide. Blimey.

Also: did you really need a rabies jab? Rabies?

I'm guessing he probably meant tetanus.
Unless he went to university in the 19th century.

Did Nottingham university even exist when rabies was still present in the UK?

Rabies is still present in the UK
Just in very small numbers... All registered Bat workers have to have Rabies jabs,

Awww man. How come I don't get to be a Registered Bat Worker?
That's like assistant to Batman, right?

@enzyme
Fuck knows, you're probably right - probably tetanus. There was a needle though. Of that I am sure.

Easy way to tell:
If it was a course of injections into your stomach using large-bore needles it was for rabies -- if it was in the arm or arse it was tetanus.

I had to have a rabies vaccine before going on a school trip once (true, actually).
IIRC, it was quite a nice fuschia pink colour. And I blacked out while leaving the doctor's surgery. They gave me tea and Cadbury's fingers while I got myself together. So it was worth it in the end.

The irony was that I wasn't bitten by a rabid animal once while on the trip. Although I have a vague memory of having to cross the road to avoid one...

Tetanus then!

there's a variation called an Ironman where you do 2 in a row,
and do both eyes and nostrils. You can't see and both nostrils are streaming.

I don't know why I used to do them. Repeatedly. Actually, I suppose it was probably cos I had contacts so it was very slightly less unpleasant for me than the mates I did them with. Victory?

No.

Oh, and excellent story. *Clicky*

That's incomprehensibly silly.
I hope you don't mind me saying so.
( Enzyme is powered by sunlight, Fri 25 Mar 2011, 19:44, closed)

Not at all
It was very silly. I don't do it anymore.

Was when we first started going out, so I think that it was a 'ooooh, aren't we hard!' type thing.

We grew up.

Also known as
"Tequila Stuntman" - two variations therein.
1) Do the whole thing whilst "surfing" on a table or, better still with a friendly pub, the bar.
2) Snort the salt, eat the lemon, stick the tequila in your eye. I've not actually done this, just seen it done once by someone who rather misunderstood the original method.

Lime makes it ten times worse.
