......if my bike and all my stuff hadnt been locked in this blokes house where i left it as he locked himself out opening up to me hoping to retrieve my stuff. damn

I rode to my mates in the afternoon. Then, much later on, I decided that I would go back to my mates and pick my bike up and ride home. That didn't work out.

i was at a pub, out for a cigarette, and just left and went home (this is about 11pm).
the evidence of this morning is that i had some toast, and was sick in my bed. and i remember at some point this friend cleaning me up whilst her boyfriend looked on in disgust.

i rode there.
but i was too pissed to ride back. i had already fallen over three times.
so i walked my bike back. (but the old bill still asked me what i was up to).
but i still managed to fall over again.
a fall over four times in one night night.
and yesterday i was in bed all day sick. never again.

@velo: It wasn't the hair stuck to the pillow syndrome was it? Hope not, that's ugly.
We have my 22year old nephew Tim over from sunny California, so I thought it would be fun for him if we both rode over to a mates for the night. It was frosty when we left. We forbade ourselves to cycle at a rate that would make us break a sweat, but it was hopeless; in the cold there's an overwhelming propensity to get warm. We got there and as soon as we hit the heaving indoors we started perspiring horribly.
We didn't see-in the new year as we didn't want to get mixed up with returning revellers in cars on ice. We took to the back lanes at about 11:00PM and saw maybe three cars out. We took a stiff pace but we never really got warm, it was indeed parky. Single malts at home sorted us out pretty quick though.To travel the last fourteen miles of 2009 on a bike felt good though.

^ nice to hear the word parky. parkey? good, underappreciated word.
i got two punctures. glass is a bastard substance, even if it can contain lovely drinks.

My brother, having not ridden a bike for about 15 years decided it would be a good idea to borrow the wifes bike and cycle home at 4am. How he made it I will never know. He almost crashed just getting on it. Classic

no luckily my pillow was mostly unscathed. a towel was put beneath me so it wasn't that bad.
changing the sheets yesterday was not pretty though.
i have started to vomit less, but whenever i do i always do it in bed now.
maybe this is a sign i need to drink less.

I was chauffeur-driven to my NYE party venue (gf's bro is a driver :)).
I walked up a hill to watch fireworks.
I caught some buses home.
I used bus and tube to get to Bugged Out NYD party
I used a minicab to get to someone's house afterwards.
I used a night bus and black cab to get home.I haven't touched a bike since last year..
