Set fire to a disabled (quadriplegic) girl in a wheelchair in a nightclub.
Worst-thing-you’ve-done-when-drunk. Winner.
I take my job very seriously but most of my drunken exploits seem to have happened after working at weddings as a photographer. The most memorable involved shooting a destination wedding (no need to drive home), being plied with drink from the free bar by the groom’s father, getting chatted up by one of the bridesmaids, sleeping with her (and I do mean sleeping – I’d had at least 14 pints and fell asleep on the job), waking up in the morning and finding I’d pissed all over the bed.
Sadly, it turned out that this was the same bridesmaid I had to give a lift to the next morning – it was a loooooong, silent four hour car trip.
My least proud moment though, involved a whole bottle of JD, a few wraps of powdered mushrooms, several spliffs and a few wraps of speed. This was at a forest party in Aberdeenshire, complete with sound system and perhaps 200 folk, all off their faces. At about 2am, some bright spark suggested skinny dipping in the local loch. Grand!
A goodly number of us schlepped into the pitch black forest in the right general direction and immediately became hopelessly lost. I announced that I would climb a tree to find the loch and picked the highest conifer available. The inevitable happened and I fell about 80 feet, suffering fairly severe injuries, but still able to walk.
For years afterwards, random people would come up to me on the street, slap my back and say things like, “Awright – it’s the f******* iron man!”.
