Think you can fix a row with your wife when she's pre-menstrual and you've come in pissed from lunchtime and you're supposed to be going to a dinner party with her friends in the evening.

Yep.
Try to ride your new racing bike up a kerb. (I should really have gone to A&E with that to get my face stitched back up but I was too pissed to care.)
Sleep it off in the driving seat of your car overnight with the engine running parked in the slip lane from Wood Lane onto the A40.
Take a kebab to bed when staying in the company flat. (Stained the sheets purple.)
Try to bake a frozen pizza (16 hours at gas mark 9).
Fall asleep on the underground.
Suddenly change trains when you wake up on the underground assuming you've missed your stop.
"Just sit and rest my eyes for a moment" when waiting for the last train home to arrive.
Think it would be a good idea to install [I'm not confessing this bit] on the departmental secretary's PC so that when she switches it on she is presented with something to open her eyes.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Attempt to climb tall buildings holding a full pint of lager and hardly spill a drop.
Attempt to climb tall buildings holding a full pint of lager and hardly spill a drop, managing to walk up the apex of a sloped roof and lean (casually) on the chimney.
Attempt to climb tall buildings holding a full pint of lager and hardly spill a drop, managing to walk up the apex of a sloped roof and lean (casually) on the chimney, seeing some startled people 6 floors below on the street notice you, raising your pint glass in the air to toast them, and shouting "It's ok, I'm a professional climber!".
I'm not a professional climber. The trip down was heart-stopping.Comment
