    If I were you and was single at the time, I would have taken FULL advantage of that.

      Years ago while studying in my uni residence I found my floppy fringe was getting in the way. So I dug out a clean pair of underpants to wrap round my head and tuck in at the back, sort of like a pirate, to keep my hair out of my eyes.

      Half an hour later, I had to look something up, and set off for the library to find the reference.

      After walking through the middle of a busy town, and spending quite a while in the crowded library, I saw myself in a mirror and realized the pants were still on my head.

      You'd naturally imagine that passers by stare at lunatics. But I can say from personal experience that the opposite is true - When you look like one, nobody wants to catch your eye.

            Ate a half quarter before pitching a tent in the middle of a forrest outside Aberfoyle, woke up and decided to head to the pub not knowing which way the road was, ended up crawling about a pine forrest for 3 hours in total pitch black stoned out my box.

              Hey GJ, just enter the beach race next year. I know this years was a bit of a disaster zone - no change there - but you sound ideally prepared for next years (I'm pretty sure it will happen).

              Anyway, consider yourself lucky you spent 4 days in that local hospital and survived.

                Funny, I'd have thought you'd have had a soft landing at Brean!

                  It wasn't pretty being stuck on a ward with 5 senile old men moaning and groaning day and night, luckily I had a morphine button.
                  Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    They had CUK in the ward?

                      Yep, when all else fails opiates. Coming down can be a bit of a bugger though.
