Can't beat the good old sarsaparilla tablets, and they're still well and truly with us.

You all know the 'pay as you go' toilet that was on peel street before the re-development, well I'm sure that it didn't work properly.  The first and only time I used it I was in mid action and the door flew open, much to the delight of several elderly shoppers.

Does anyone remember the old railway that ran behind Accrington Cricket Club's main stand?  I was walking home from my sisters recently in a drunken stupor and tripped over one of the old railway sleepers

Shall we start a new column Chris "Daft things you do when you're drunk"?[smiley=lol.gif]

Fallen asleep in one or two places. More than once in the old Accy toilets before they used to lock them. *[smiley=sleep.gif]

Was a long long time ago I hasten to add! I like to pretend I'm respectable now! ;D ;D
