It has been said that if you drink more than 4 midis in one sitting you are a binge drinker.
A midi is 220ml of beer, so 4 (if my math is correct) is 880ml.
A (UK) pint is 568ml, therefore according to WA’s government you are a binge drinker if you drink 1.5 pints.
I’m sorry but, WTF, 1.5 pints and I am a binge drinker?!? I went out last night to April and Andrews with a group of friends and had a BBQ, I drank 6 bottles of Toohey’s New (each bottle is 375ml) over a 5 hours period (2250ml in total), that means I am a binge drinker two and a half times over!
Damn, “Hi my name is NED and I am a binge drinker!”
Bugger off am I, if I went out on a Friday and Saturday night and drunk 8 pints each night, then yes I am a binge drinker, but 1.5 pints….. get over it
On the 1st of September Winter officially ends and Spring starts…. exactly 3 months for each season (makes it easier to remember so I have been told)
I am also aware from people that the UK has left a lot to be desired when it comes to the weather at the moment, so to make matters worse I thought I would rub it in 
Summer in Brighton
Winter in Perth
Now not one to state the obvious, so I won’t. I’ll leave it up to you all to work out what to do.
In the meantime I will be waiting, sitting in the sun with a nice cold beer. Text me when you land and I will have a pint ready for you.
Some of you know that I hired a personal trainer 3 months ago to get rid of the pies and beer that I had retained over the winter months in Brighton.
The 1st ever session I had with Lauren (yep, my personal trainer is a girl, a one that is rather pleasing on the eye too) was to determine my Fitness Age, basically how buggered up I was with regards to my fitness
Using various tests (Fat %; reach; how quick my heart rate returned to rest, etc etc) I came out as 51 years old last time. Ironically the 2 things I thought would be bad due to smoking and drinking were the best (I have the heart and lungs of a 21 year old)
As I turned 34 this week, and I had been seeing Lauren for 3 months, I thought it would be good time to see what it was after busting my arse in the Gym.
32 Years Old, 2 years younger than I actually am, I am so chuffed (I do have a beer in my hand though while I type this, so it ain’t all angelic for me)
Not wanting to sound like one of those reformed smokers who bitch about other people smoking (believe me, they all look lovely to me (anyone who is a Bill Hicks fan knows exactly what they look like)), however it has made a huge difference in my life.
