When I was 18 I once got very drunk at a friends Xmas party which was in a
posh hotel in Birmingham (in May for some bizarre reason)
It was an all expenses paid thing, room, transport, booze.
Anyway, I told true obscene sexual stories to a table of his straight laced
colleagues. Told his managers wife I was off to find a dirty woman to share
my double bed with and then to cap it all, I heckled the MD during his
speeches. In front of about 200 people. And I didn¹t even work there...
Oh the shame...
