I'd like to take an opportunity to thank you for teaching me some new slang - "the general" and "lead pipe" in particular. Also, I may have to start using the phrase "do one" again, although I've gone more in the "jog on" direction of late...

Anyway, good field report dude. I know what you mean about alcohol it can fuck you up in all the wrong ways - I say moderation is the key (although you wouldn't know it seeing me out the last couple of nights)
