December 2015
We played Monchengladbach and needed Juve and Seville to draw for us to qualify...and also the rags to lose to join the Thursday cup
Had 4 beers at home with lunch before setting off on my bicycle to the pub.
Had 3 beers and got talking to this chap who had served in the US air force and based in London in the 60's and watched Arsenal a few times.
We needed to score to win with 10 mins to go as his friend joined us too. I said if we score the next round is on me.... We scored 3 times. Juve and Seville drew and the rags lost and I got the round in.
Next thing I go to the toilet, come back and they have gone but left a pint each for me.......
Drank them and off I rode so now it is about 5.30pm and felt a bit hungry so stopped in another pub for a bite to beat and another pint.....
Off I go again..... Cut through a park and at one point just fell off the bike like Del Boy in the bar. Sideways straight down. No leg or arm sticking out.
Broken collarbone and broken rib and a $5,590 medical bill.
Rode my bike with arm in a sling into work the next morning!
