Painful? Still recovering! I've just managed to do 2 gigs on the bounce as well, but tonight was the worst! I was told by the manager and staff of a bar that I would not be allowed a drink until after the gig, so I drank coffee all night. Coffee is a barmans worst nightmare, especially when the bar is full. I also made sure that the coffee machine had cooled down before ordering another one. When I was told that coffee was not on the menu anymore, I decided to ask for tea, hot chocolate or horlicks, anything hard to make, and damn right as well! I eventually had another 3 coffees before getting bored of their game and drank water. At the end of the gig, I had a few beers, as normally these are free, even at the start of a gig. Just sometimes, bar staff, bar managers, do not appreciate the fact that having lots of people staring at you on a stage can not only be a daunting thing but also mentally knackering! I have ran bars before and to be honest an 8 hour bar shift is not as menatlly or physically tireing as a 2 hour gig. I love my job as a musican, but take out the couple of drinks at the start of the gig and you end up as nervous as hell! Maybe that is my problem, I need a drink to relax and take away the nerves before a gig, but I don't ever go overboard or make an idiot of myself. I swear, that tree that attacked me was out of order and I will never be climbing them, fighting with them or going near them ever again after a night out.

Not a special occasion, I am an Everton fan and we lost to Liverpool on the Sunday. I was with good friends, all Liverpool fans. I think it was more of a case of them buying me lots of shots because they felt sorry for me after us losing. I also drank a lot of beer, but I think the last shot of Sambuca did it for me, not all the beer. Taking it easy for a while and got to get back to some serious website work, I have let it slip a bit! Had to close one of my forums whilst I remove all the adult material that has been posted in there over the last couple of days, normally I would monitor the forum and classifieds sites every 12 hours or so, but just needed a few days off. Anyway, off to a bbq and a coffee!
Nice and hilarious pic! Now you're saying it's the end of your drinking period, but I don't believe you
Well having alcohol is bad habit. but still if you like to have it then you should have control on it. After looking at your pic I must say that you might got hurt at least without any reason.
