HELP!!!    I'm still not yet back to normal. Is anyone else having more trouble than usual re-acclimatising to everyday life post LM?

At one point I really thought I had become Ozzy Osbourne,  as in  "... Sharon! Sharon! Oi'm f**k*n' shekkin' loik oi'm pairmenently sat on the corner of a f**k*n' spin droyer..."

I have now just about stopped walking into closed doors and spilling hot tea everywhere when I foolishly try to make a cup, but driving safely remains a bit of a problem. Getting the three miles to work without going up the kerb or through a hedge is to be classed as a major victory. And I'm surprised I'm not typing this with my toes from a hospital bed, having  cut the hedge at the weekend with a petrol trimmer.

It appears hand and eye coordination is slowly returning but one can only hazard a guess at the battering the old synapses took over the LM weekend.

All this, even though I am off the beer at present, horrible stuff, I'll never touch it again.

Am I alone in this cruel affliction? Should we start a charity to help fellow sufferers?

My friend, you are not alone.   I have still yet to re-discover the motivation for the work thing and find the ability to stop falling asleep in meetings......    

I'm just about back on top form, although that is likely to all go out the window when 12 of us will meet up at Bisley this weekend  

Something similar will be happening at Bisley this weekend. Although instead of a BBQ we will be having a hog roast  

Does anyone know who it was that was on Expo last year that hada  hog roasting over open coals?? Top idea!!

Scarily it does!!  One of our guys is a top shooter (represented GB etc.) and the first time I went shooting with him I was rathger surprised to see a cool box full of Stella at the back of the range. Obviously, we don't have too many, and don't actually take it ot the firing point, but it is acceptable to have beer at the back of the ranges. We're doing 900 yards in the morning, then hopefully a bit of shotgun in the afternoon (if I've got my gun by then)  

Then it's partying in the evening until we drop with a live band.  

I'll have the third 24 hour party in five weeks at the Spa 24 hours. That helps to come over the usual post LM demotivation.  

I tried that once but the manager of our local Spa 24 hour store didn't like us hanging around and drinking in the store.  The 7 - 11 manager is far more receptive though.  

Andy, have just signed myself out of the Betty Ford clinic, still shaking a bit though,I think it may have something to do with the 3 bottles of scotch that was drunk on the Monday night with Smokie, Gab and Mark.
The good thing about being pissed all of the time is when people bump into you and your crew they are on the same wave length and can make sense of the coversation, to the sober you are all talking a load of crap, but strange how one drunk can understand another. Still bemused about the conversation on sillage though.
