In between here and there
Nuremburg 2004 on a business trip with an Irish colleague started at 5pm finished and 4am in an Irish Bar. I have a memory of hitting the fresh air trying to catch a cab and give him directions for the hotel 12 miles away in German but just left and right whilst my colleague was snoring in the front seat. Never ever been so pished in my life. Had a 10am flight to catch remember getting in to the shower and being in terrible pain on the back of my hand - I had put a fag out on the back of my hand apparently in a display of pain was all in the mind. Blood Idiot. Add to that still feeling absolutely slaughtered and spent 30 minutes trying to wake my colleague from his room, went downstairs to try and get a coffee spotted a internal phone and went to use it to try and wake him again not realising it was an all glass booth and walked straight in to it face first in a packed foyer, hmmm
I also recall my first wee in the airport and being in pure panic as it looked like treacle! Never been that pished since and doubt I ever will be. Still got the scar on the back of my hand but absolutely no memory of doing the fag "trick" which bloody hurt for weeks. Apparently I never flinched when I did it show the power of booze to dull the pain and dull the senses in more ways than one!
