Booze and cycling lead to re-dumping
This is slightly off topic... I'll keep it short and sweet.

I had been at a mate's leaving do in town and had probably drunk around 8 pints. logically therefore a relaxing cycle home was clearly a great idea. Needless to say I fell off my bike and smashed my elbow up.

Being significantly more than half cut, I decided to get back on my bike again and promptly hit another kerb and scraped half my face off. Still miles away from home I had to keep cycling. So drunk was I that I thought I'd ring my girlfriend for some sympathy (at about 2am, on a school night)...whilst cycling.

The conversation was brief and shouty, I'd completely forgotten she'd dumped me the week before. I think I fell off again shortly after. We didn't speak again.

That reminds me ...
... i used to cycle, but I don't think I have ever told my lady-friend quite how close to a very nasty accident I have been (e.g. fallen off bike while on pavement into road in front of bus).

I have been berated the next day, 'don't ever call me again when you're drunk'. I cleverly managed to stop the truthful reply of 'did I? I don't remember' emerging and just mumbled an apology.

Never again.

that reminds me too
of a time in Goa a few years back, I think about 7 of us decided to cycle home after a long drinking sesh. we all got on our bikes side by side, set off all wibbly wobbly and did a spectacular mangle almost instantly. We all laughed but it hurt a bit.
