Turns out it wasn’t Absinthe…

…Stinking Pete had to go to Serbia for some cheap cosmetic surgery and he brought back what he thought was a bottle of real Absinthe. Turns out it was rubbing alcohol with a bluey-green dye put in it.

I wasn’t unconscious for two days either, merely paralysed and unable to move lest my head explode. The next time someone says to me “I dare you to slug a whole pint of Absinthe” after I’d already had a rake of Guinness and gin I’m pretty sure I’m going to say no.

Pete is happy with his surgery though. He had always been very conscious of his large Manilowesque nose. Now he’s got two black eyes and a bandage on his face.

The doctors tell him it’s much better but we’re all hoping he had a sense of humour and fashioned some kind of trunk. We’ll wait and see.
