when you're already drunk why would you buy another newcastle brown just before you leave a bar for the road?

I once fell sleep on the bus and ended up in the... well I don't know where. Some suburb. It was the last stop and it was about five in the morning. So all I could do was stay on the bus until he started his route again. I decided to get off where I started and just walk to the station and get the first train.

so i took the tube the other direction, and fell asleep on that (would have been 2 minutes) journey! And ended up at the southernmost tube station in london. and it was the last tube so no trains home! fuck.

so drunkenly, i took the bus, and fell asleep on that!!!!! shit yeah?? when i woke up, i realised that not only did i fall asleep on the bus, I TOOK IT TO THE WRONG DIRECTION! i ended up in somewhere without a london postcode, and (seemingly) somewhere that radiotaxis couldn't find. wtf.

the buses had all finished, so in the end, i ended up tracking the bus route (by looking for the same bus number on the bus stop signs, at every cross junction i would have to try each road until i find the bus stop), back to the train station, by the time i got there, it was dawn and the tube started running again!!

AND IT SMELLS LIKE RANCID CHINESE FOOD IN THE STAIRWELL....

....

SORRY BUT IT IS TRUE DUDE

but anyway yes it would smell awful if you leave it in the stairwell! That's why you DRINK IT BEFORE IT GOES RANCID. :)

xpost haha actually it was the delightfully named "Pleasure Unit" on Bethnal Green Road. I have always remembered the place as being quite cold, but perhaps it was winter the last time I went. This time the place was very warm, and there was a lot of indie boy sweat.

I didn't have any in the UK! I had... Kroenberg mostly ithink

I DONT KNOW I AM SO ANGRY AND TIRED GOOD NIGHT MY LOVES

a) less alcohol, so I can keep up with rounds whilst being a lightweight
b) doesn't go minging and stale after being poured for 15 minutes
b) taste nicer than beer anyway

Answer's in the question, Ken

newcastle brown is a fine fine beverage. but the star on the back label never seems to turn blue at 12C as it claims to do.

d) less volume means fewer toilet breaks

if i am richer i'd probably drink spirits all the time too though. mmm the double whiskeys.

woke up the next day my flatmate was like "fucking hell, my head" and i was like "oh shit.. i need to stop drinking because I feel absolutely fine.. wtf" and i stopped for a few days and that got some of the intolerance back.

maybe i should have kept going though so I'd achieve some kind of permanent hangover-immunity

(I found The Pleasure Unit was pretty nice, actually, although incredibly painfully hot and sweaty, and OMG!! Ken C!!11! HI DERE LOL).

and the pleasure unit is fairly pleasurable most of the time, it's fantastic when it's not indie boy sweat dominated! I had to escape to the outside a couple times.

i hope drunkest man in the world managed to drink the final 3/4 of the pint. unfinished drinks (much like unfinished dinner) makes me angry and sad.

I'm still unsure about newcy - It always makes me want to say it like "newsy brown" like i would to new zealand brown ale! or sing to the tune of "lucy brown is back in town"

And no, drunk man got thrown out by the bar staff, which was lucky for him as I think our drummer was about to hit him. Eep. I tend to not finish my drinks properly due to warmy flatness anyway (unless I'm on spirits, as others have noted above).

i should probably drink less.

no, drink the same amount! in my experience the journal home is the bit that you don't really want to remember.

xpost i wonder who the drunk was! Every bar should have an "i'm a drunken shit" stamp that bouncers can apply to drunkard's foreheads before throwing out.
