I wasn't drunk, but I'd been to see a band at the Ritz in Manchester. Because I live in the Northern Quarter now I didn't need to get a lift home back to Stockport so I waited outside for the band to come out afterwards to have some pictures and autographs done.
Anyway, they finally came out at 1am so I hadn't been for a piss since around 8pm and I was bursting. I walked back from the Ritz past Manchester G-MEX, across Market Street and past the Arndale.
As I passed the Midland Hotel I realised that perhaps the urge to piss was too strong. I'd managed to reach St. Peter's Square tram station outside Central Library and I couldn't hold it any longer.
So there I stood, in the open, with no bushes to hide behind, pissing against a wall. Not that many people walked past or looked to see what I was doing - they must have assumed I was pissed - but that is probably my lowest point on the piss scale.
