    As says on Stevo's sig, don't think he's the one that originally coined the phrase though.

    George Best I think? Google will enlighten me


    Yup - George. Very slightly different words but same sentiment.

    He was in bed with a Miss World once, surrounded by money and empty champagne bottles. A bell boy walked in and exclaimed: "Mr Best! Where did it all go wrong?"

    MF had the same situation once except it was in the downstairs bedroom of a terraced house in Crewe, Miss World was some first year sports science student and the money/champagne was out of date beer cans from a Bargain Booze around the corner.

    Although I think Hoppy currently only scores 1/3 and now needs to up his game on the other two :)

    If I'd been bunged 500 notes, it would undoubtedly go on a couple of slightly soiled cut price hookers, 8 cans of spesh and an eighth of mannitol cut with benzocaine. You have to live the dream from time to time...

    I have spent a lot on booze over the years. I shudder to think in fact. I've blown a fair bit on birds too. Fast cars are incompatible with the booze in the opinion of the old bill. Round here it's way quicker on my velocipede anyway.

    You don't have to drink and drive at the same time.

    Edit: although an investment in the right car could also be seen as spending on birds :P

    Do what a couple of friends of mine did many years ago when going to a wedding in Sweatland. Got the AA to drag the broken camper up there, slept in it for a week then used somebody else’s RAC card to get it towed back. Free travel and board.

    You say that.... saw a erm documentary once where someone was drunk and had at least 5 pints whilst I was there, I mean watching

    He went to his car as a police car turned up, lots of locals shouted him back only to hear a voice from the police car saying ‘don’t worry it’s only me, just here for a coffee’

    Got to love a local copper

    Very glad I wasn’t cycling that night

    As V68 mentions, you might need an AA sub. And a years worth of giros for the congestion charge.
