This is Barney


I spent most of the day on Saturday back in Cirencester drinking booze with some dear friends.

We started at The 12 Bells (which everyone should go to as there is no doubt it is the best pub i have ever been in) then moved on throughout the day ending up in The Crown.

(The above photograph was taken from under the door in the cubicle of the aforementioned toilets in The Crown at roughly 10 o'clock in the PM.)

My friend, Barney, is very well known for falling asleep after multiple boozes. Here however, he excelled himself.

After deciding to go for a curry, after consuming 8 to 9 pints, Barney stood up and announced 'i'm going to be sick'. With this in mind i then ushered him into the toilet and enabled him to fulfil his wish.

He was going for a while, so i suggested he lock the door of the cubicle as people were walking around and experiencing it with him.

After going for a wee i then retunred to the cubicle to see if he was ok.

Barney was indeed not ok, had indeed listened to me and locked the door, then had proceeded to fall into a very deep sleep.

Yelling, screaming and shouting made no difference to his condition. At one point i even tried to shoulder the door open, but there was no way through, if you know The Crown you will know that the doors are double solid.

I waited for 20 minutes wondering what to do.

And then, it came to me!

I wandered into the garden and made a fish hook style hook hook from a branch a tree very begrudgingly gave to me.

I then, with skill and guile managed to hook his foot under the bog door, i then gave it a massive yank.

This had the desired effect eventually waking Barney from his winter sleep.

I then escorted him out of the pub holding him as if he were blind. He then continued to sick and vomit for a good 10 minutes.

Well done Barney, you are brilliant.
