» Weddings

Went to a mate’s wedding last year...
...and snogged a very sexy bridsemaid at the reception (enticed her into a bathroom cubicle on the promise of illicit substances- a technique I thoroughly recommend). At the end of the night, we walked back to the hotel where everyone was staying and I, for some utterly unknown reason, decided to lift her up and carry her down the street. Naturally I dropped her, and in the process sprained my ankle really quite seriously.

Unperturbed, I headed back to her room only to find the best man trying it on with her. Cue a rather embarrassing competition for her affections, which culminated in me saying something along the lines of ‘maybe we should settle this outside’. Not a great idea seeing as he was much bigger than me, I had a sprained ankle and had never been in a fight in my life.

This ‘best’ man then proceeded to beat seven shades of shit out of me (I think I went down before he’d even hit me), go back and shag the bridesmaid.

Probably a lesson in there somewhere, but I’m fucked if I learned anything.

Neurobiology
Not only do I not understand it, I also don’t understand how I’ve ended up as a professional neurobiologist, nor how nobody has ever busted me for being a fraud who knows nothing of neurobiology.

Does anyone else suspect that the guy who was going on about the new cars earlier is actually that bloke from the Princess Bride who says ‘inconceivable’ all the time?

Just me then
