O dear. I recently disgraced myself whilst on a recent holiday in Portugal. All I need is a hanky on my head a pair of Union flag boxer shorts and I’ll fit the bill.
After a relatively boozy night out I fell down a full stretch of stone steps and had to b helped up to my feet by 2 or 3 local waiters – no real harm done but I did have a few bruises under the ribs a few days later.
If that wasn’t bad enough when we got back to the hotel at 3am I disappeared for over 2 hours. Mrs DT was beside herself with worry so alerted the hotel staff, who then went off into a mini search party for me.
They never found me, but I eventually emerged at 5am soaking we from head to toe, like I’d been swimming. The hotel pool was searched, but I wasn’t there, so God knows where I ended up.
Maybe this post should go under the lucky escapes thread, as swimming while highly intoxicated is very very dangerous.
Still. I’ve learnt my lesson and certainly won’t be doing anything like that again in the future.
