Things That I Know

[liadnan]

There are things that I know.

They include but are not limited to the following:-

1. Budapest is a very pleasant city in which to spend a weekend, changed only for the better since I interrailed through there about 14 years ago;
2. Unicum is possibly the most poisonous and unpleasant excuse for alcohol ever invented;
3. Fortunately there are many more pleasant things to drink and they don't seem to believe in taxing them
4. Hungarian women are, almost without exception, stunning
5. [Corollary to (4)] I am very shallow;
6. Men who still have Mohicans when the eighties have been over for 15 years are not to be trusted;
7. Lynne Truss is not working for London Underground*
8. I am extremely hungover and tired and I smell.

More sometime,

Yes, that was me on Friday after shennanigans on Thursday. See, if only you'd stayed, you could have slowly eased yourself into hungover, stinking, rotten, bulbuous and pulsating hell - and it wouldn't be such a shock to you today! See?

No I have been continously hungover since Friday.

My coherent vocabulary was, quite literally, limited to "n eurofen" until about 1 on Sunday, after that I progressed to "oh sweet Jesus".

Admirable! I like the way that you have a soothing river as your icon there, rather than a bottle of lifewater. It's fooling no-one though.

Dammit, now if you'd taken this coming weekend to go to Budapest, that would have been highly amusing.

Hmmm, unicum does not sound like a particularly pleasant beverage of which to partake. Thanks for the warning. :-)

No? I thought it sent out the right signals.

(It's actually a beach, in Greece, and one of my favourite places on the world. Full of nekkid people in season. If I would remember where the webspace where I shove photos actually is then I could show you the full version.)

I did wonder if it was this week you were that way bound.
('Twas a stag night type thing, rather than my usual sedate cultural and sun tours. The groom to be occasionally reads here, which is why I didn't say anything about it, as it was supposed to be a surprise.)

Well, each to their own an' all that, but we were unanimous in thinking it was vile. We also suspected that, like absinthe, there was More Than Just Alcohol going on there. Shooting it at the start of a pubcrawl was probably not the greatest of ideas.
