I've spend the afternoon making up loads of questionaires that would have taken me hours in awful weather with people telling me to feck off

Ahhhhhhh easy

Also... we were out for mate's 18th last night at a restaurant then bowling.

A round for 12 people was bought at the bowling and then some guy came up and asked for I.D. I risked it by showing my provisional license... he looked at it for ages and I was sure he was going to throw me out but he just said alright. So only me and my best mate (whose 18th it was) were 'allowed' to drink. So we drank everybody's round after buying them back off the people for half-price (all we could afford) and got absolutely mashed.

Explain.

How is it risky?

Unless you're not 18 which would be stupid.

Heh sounds pretty fun. Who the hell wouldn't lie to protect their mates though? It is like an unwritten law and if you grass your mates in then you aren't exactly being a good friend. Did you get an official warning or just a slap on the back of the hand?

Back in October we went out for my mate Seb's 19th. Went to the local bowling alley, drank 6 pints of Grolsch and had a right old laugh. Seb and my other mate Wal had been drinking all day so they were pretty gone. They stumbled into the staff only area and stole two bowling pins and hid them outside in the carpark. When we left, they picked them up and we were throwing them around the carpark and being drunk and stupid. One of the staff people came out and saw us, so we left. Seb and his brothers went on, leaving myself and Wal and another mate, Fos. Wal and Fos smashed up a couple of bus stops with one of the pins, and this guy chased after us claiming we'd hit his car. Which we hadn't. Anyway, we left him and went to mine. Wal, off his face, wanted to go back and see if we had hit his car, as the guy said there was a huge mark on it. Went there, and Fos stayed in the car while myself and Wal walked towards the house. Police car came up. Bam. Got taken miles to a police station (closer one was full for the night, so I spent about half an hour driving to another) and spent 6 hours in a cell. Wal fell asleep and was fine, but I was sober and let me tell you, 6 hours in a cell is hella boring. You can only read the graffiti on the walls so many times.

I lied to protect my mates, which caused outgrage here among some of the members, who don't seem to know what friendship is. I tell ya, my story had more holes in it than your local hooker's tights. Didn't help that Wal left out important details I'd said when he gave his story. Would have had to go to court, but one of the policemen told my mate if people admitted to stuff, they'd get a caution and that would be it. So Wal, Fos and Seb went down the station and formally admitted to smashing up a bus stop, damaging a car and theft of bowling pins respectively. Of course, their stories didn't really tie in with what really happened, but the police ignored little details like the fact that two bowling pins were missing, yet we "only took one". They believed that nobody hit this guy's car, but said we had to admit to it anyway to keep the guy happy. Could've been a messy situation, but we don't have previous records or anything, and I think they kind of pitied us.

Oh, and Seb still has the other bowling pin in his room, the one he left with. Brings back happy memories...

Wouldn't the beers have been flat and therefore real manky and horrible?

Please, don't mention bowling. I'm sure some of you remember the time I was drinking and bowling, then ended up spending 6 hours in a police cell.

I was bowling with some mates about a month ago and we were drinking too. The security dudes came and asked us how old we were and we said 18 and they confiscated half of our drinks, not mine though, I was wearing a shirt...maybe I looked like a tycoon...or not.
