So MacMillan have the cake and now the Go Sober October. If it's not them it's BUPA or Bear Grylls banging on about cancer.

When I'm watching the telly in the evening and wanting to watch intellectually stimulating mindless crap on TV; every other bloody advert is about cancer.
I don't need to be reminded every 30 minutes that it's "the fight of my life".
I'm battered and bruised after surgery, I've spent 4 bloody hours at the hospital where they've taken all my blood and replaced it with radioactive dye; and I know I'm right in the middle of the fight.

I know I'm being ungrateful and unreasonably annoyed Blush

Anyway I drink rarely, one Christmas to another (although I did get spectacularly sloshed last Bank Holiday). Staying sober for October wouldn't really be a big sacrifice for me.

Would I be unreasonable to get pissed in October instead... hence the title October Fall Over ?

Oh my! Blush I have a title!! I'm ridiculously excited. Skateboard helmet would defo be preferable to my weird post chemo hair! Doesn't know whether it's straight, curly, blonde or dark!!!

Laughing at making a nun fuck!! Lol

EtTuTuttiFrutti · 10/09/2016 12:34

Now don't get over excited WheretheFuck

With a title comes responsibility. Like any good CEO, I'm of shopping going for a very important meeting. I'd like your proposals by close of business today.

You can thank me later for giving you a reason to wear a helmet to cover chemo hair. FOR A WHOLE MONTH.

OP "I'm going to personalise my wheelbarrow"

by hanging out of with a bottle of tequila? Excellent plan. Flowers

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 10/09/2016 13:19

Right, ok. Just from quickly blue-skying this, I'm going to suggest that we go forward by sourcing enviro friendly material protective gear kids skateboard elbow/knee pads, coming together on an agreement for acceptable intoxicating beverages (wine/gin/vodka/cider etc), deciding on a universally acceptable timeframe for ingesting anytime it might be happy hour anywhere in the world, then implementing the strategy by reaching out to anyone who might be an enthusiastic participant! We also need to look outside the box for suitable landing material (bean bags/bubble wrap/spare doonas etc). There should probably be some marketing considered, but I'm sure we can brainstorm this ASAP.

Have I passed my responsibility test?? Grin

I'm on board, PISO Wink

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/09/2016 13:43

Ahem, I'd like to throw an idea on the brainstorming table..October training exercises.

This will involve trialing the above mentioned drinks in controlled conditions every Saturday night in front of the X Factor or similar, with a duvet in case of any premature fall overing.

EtTuTuttiFrutti · 10/09/2016 14:38

Oh dear Angry

ILost has been at the sherry already.

Training will be taking place in September. Fall over is all over in October.
Do pay attention .

Wherethefuck is an example to us all. I'm so proud.
She's throwing herself behind the event 110%.
Just an idea though, rather than direct marketing, how about the low hanging fruit. I'm sure that you have some permanently drunk friends ??????

Sorry, I've just been giggling at the back at all your witty repostes Blush Will pay more attention after I've eaten these crisps.
