Pretty much what I expected.
I know that you've got enough sense to not drive when pissed.

Like you said, t'was a silly thing to do, but oh well.
If we were all sensible and law-abiding all of the time, b3ta would be a fucking boring place.

So true
Theres never any excuse to drink and drive, but at least he was honest about it, and shows regrets.

A funny story:

My dad was once driving home drunk, he didn't want to especially but an emergancy meant he had to be somewhere and decided the risk was worth it if he drove very slowly. It was about 3 am in the Birmingham area.
While driving round a roundabout on completely empty roads, he missed his turning off, and in his drunkenness, he decided maybe it'd be OK to reverse back and take the turning rather than continue round the big roundabout.

Unfortunately however, no sooner had he started reversing, a car came out of nowhere and bumped into the back of the car. Not a big crash, just a fender bender. He was going to do a pooflake and just drive off, when a police car followed the crashee round the corner.

My dad sat there sweating and knowing the worst was about to happen while the policeman talked to the driver in the car behind. Then he approached my dads car.

Shaking, he opened the window, and waited for the breathalyser. The policeman arrived, grinned, and said "No worries mate, your cars hardly scratched. But the guy who hit you is so fucked he can hardly stand, over twice the limit. He said he thought you were driving BACKWARDS round the roundabout! It's amazing he found the ignition in the first place! You'd better get on home. Have a nice night".

That was a bit of a wake up call, a lesson to be learned indeed!

Oooh...

Until now, to 'do a Pooflake' meant 'to disastrously papper your pants or an unsuspecting area in some comedic fashion'...and to be honest I'd rather still rather it be known for that than drink driving thanks.

I still love "pulling an Enzyme"
That is, to stay in a brothel, thinking it's a cheap and cheerful hotel.
