In Reverse
I am increasingly getting the feeling that my Old Man is turning into me

It started when I was 16 and started to gather interest in drinking, smoking and girls. In a bid to be 'cool' I inevitably started smoking cigarettes...something my parents had always been dead set against and I had been made well aware of the dangers. So it was to my surprise when one of my mates bursts into the common room declaring that he saw my Dad smoking a cigarette walking down the street.

It continued when I was 17 and on a post exam holiday in Newquay. You can imagine my hormonal and adolensent dismay when my parents told me 1) that they would be on holiday in Newquay at the same time and 2) by the way, did you know you were conceived in Newquay?...uuugh!! ..It was a saturday night and myself and 10 of my underage friends were on our way to Sailors nightclub to try and get in. My father calls. He's in bloody sailors! When we get in to the club, my dad is standing there with 2 buckets full of booze.
Before you know it, he is getting alot of attention from women and giving the lads (my mates) high fives and challenging them to downing competitions.

6 years later and it is not unusual for my mates to ring my dear old alcoholic, womanizing, chauvanistic father before inviting me on a night out.

The latest is that one of my best mates has asked him to be an usher at his wedding.

He is a genius and a git at the same time but i wouldnt swap him for the world!
