Achieving odd goals in life

Lando Griffin

So last night I was sitting down watching Operation Transformation and I started getting the fear.
The OH suggested that it was from all the alcohol that I consumed over the Christmas and when you suddenly stop that’s when you get it so she said I should pop down for a few.

When I got to the local the lads were there and the barman ( and friend ) told me that he reckons I drank a keg of Guinness in a month. I denied this but on further examination this is what we found.
Friday,Saturday and Sunday before Christmas the usual 6 – 8 pints.
Christmas Eve brought the family in to get the Christmas Drink but only had 4 because had to go to mass.
St Stephens Day god only knows but around 7.
The 28,29,30 around 6-7 again because of the football.

New Years Eve god only knows cannot even remember what time I got home but herself got a text saying HNY at 2.22am so we will average at 6-7.Then last weekend had my usual 6-7 pints over the 3 days because there was a birthday Friday then Saturday is as usual and Sunday was Super Sunday and my 4 last night makes it approx 78 and he says that the first 4or 5 don’t count and we used the lower average number or 6.

That’s 78 pints in a month who would have thought it.
What feats of unknowingly have you achieved?

My fùckin' head trying to read that.

I'm not sure what the 'odd goal' is here, maybe to drink a keg a month and not be considered an alcoholic?

I was constipated for about a week and a half due to medication I was on after an operation.

When the time finally came to release the demon in my bowels I thought to weigh myself before and after.

After taking the biggest dump of my life, I found myself to be 2lbs lighter.


TL;DR: I lost 2lbs in about 10mins by simply taking a huge dump

You must have a kind and understanding wife when she tells you to go to the pub-or else she's sick of the sight of you.

There's 88 pints in a keg.

There is still time yet and I am using the lower average so if the difference is 2 x 6 nights that gives me 12 + 78 = 90.

I would not like to smell your jacks !

That's an even goal, make it 89 and you will have your odd goal.

Smoked one spliff in a month.................... and I am the big "fuck off" drug user in the eyes of the state.

nipps

looking at it another way, you've spent just under 400 euro on pints in a month...

Guinness is **** and your insides are probably now completely black.

At least you'll have a story to tell next time you're 'chatting someone up'!

Drank so much so frequently over Christmas that my tolerance became so good I could clear out a crate of beer without much of a bother.

Moved onto whiskey then with no ill effects and I love it

That's not that bad. I spent 2 grand in the months of November and December last year on drink.
I suppose that's an odd goal

Yeah, but the first couple of pints are ****e and then you have spills and drips, etc, so on average it works out closer to a yield of 80 pints per keg.

I have now gone six months without even as much as a shift on a night out.

Personal record

less of a goal, more of a problem with alcohol me thinks.

I attempted to get published in the letters page of the Irish Times for no good reason at all.
It took manys an attempt, mainly due to me writing most of my letters in the style of an AH post.

Perseverance eventually paid off however and I got a letter published last year. Then a few weeks later I received a signed book of poetry in the post from some guy (the poet) who'd read my letter, completely mis-understood it and decided to strike up a correspondence with me (you have to supply the IT your postal address with any letter).
Luckily I moved house soon after and have learned my lesson.

When I was running a pub any more wastage than two pints per keg was unacceptable.
