I went out to the local watering hole with several of my shipmates and drank enough to kill 7 mere mortals, got hoisted up onto the bar and received a 'pink belly'* from approximately 5,000 people, and kissed a wild boar.**

* Pink belly--a charming naval custom (US Navy anyway) wherein the victim gets manhandled onto any available flat surface, has his belly exposed and receives numerous slaps to said exposed belly untill it turns a nice pink color.

**--This was an actual wild boar, not an ugly lass. The owner of the bar had a stuffed head hanging over the bar. I have pictures of this...


So, all in all, a good night. :D
Awesome :)

Dave: The dirty pint can be pretty much anything. Someone will do a whip round, and when they have a good £15-16 they'll use it to fill as much of the glass as possible with various top shelf stuff, before finally having it topped up with beer or whatever.

You know I actually can't remember what I was doing at all. I don't mean that in an 'I was hammered' way. I mean I just can't remember. How odd. There must be more holes in my memory than I thought... :\

I spent my 21st writing up my design project, midday to midnight. Waste of a birthday? I think so. 18th wasn't much to shout about either really.

Had my brother's on Saturday night, drinks and nibbles supplied, hordes of very nice people, I even had fun and I was working there! His mates bought him a bottle of "Grange", widely considered one of the best red wines in the world. Most jealous :D

I didn't.
Celebrate my 21st, that is.

Couldn't have cared less about it. !8th was a milestone (legal adult and all that goes with it.)
Next biggie was 30, followed by 40. 50 is going to be the millstone.
