isn't it nice to be staggering home with friends around 9 in the morning, eyes half glazed, mumbled conversations, wandering past shops and bus stops with people waiting to go to work, watching jealously as you stumble along, oblivious but happy in the knowledge that in 10mins or so you'll be slumping together in a nice warm room with the curtains drawn against the cruel light, a cup of tea and a ciggy and then sleep the day away. some never have that experience, how sad. a lifetime of mortgages and sensibility, bus stops and traffic, always watching the bums staggering by on the way to their cosy beds but for the respectable only neon striplights, paperwork and clock watching awaits. res ipsa loquitur

If you want to live your life out of your skull that's your privilege.
Just don't drive while your out of your head.I don't want some drugged up a**hole killing me while i am driving around because they think they are cool.

dillinger: really, what would you say i'm missing?
The care free days of being a teen for me is what I miss...Only having to worry about where the next party was without all life's responsibilities....but alas we all have to grow up sometime I guess....

dillinger: I only drive when I absolutely have to so driving while out of my tree isn't something i'd contemplate
If you visit london dont drive on the north circular road after 8pm on a friday night, the cars wave about in the lanes and you can tell they are under the influence.
It's almost like the wacky races.I told my chef friend from manchester, and we went to a gig in north london a month ago.

Robbie that's a bit harsh!!!
Read what's been said, "staggering home with friends" suggests walking, where's the driving come into it?

Just wondered...how do you know he hasnt got a 'clean' hobby?
I remember the days. Some of them weren't that long ago...the party days with my husband before the cancer made him too sick. I don't regret them...but I don't regret outgrowing them, either.
indeed, maybe growing up is life's tragedy. who knows. i've tried working in the real world- suit and tie, pleasant conversations- couldn't make it. they knew I was wrong and didn't belong.
