- Nearly everyone who wrote to me after the last issue made some sort of
- reference to a story I`d done about a friend of mine called Eric and
- the severely deviant behaviour that he exhibits.Never being one to go
- against public opinion,my mates and I had a bit of a chat in the pub
- at the weekend and remembered a few more of his escapades.This little
- skit involves the habit of vomitting,so if anyone is off a dodgy
- stomach,you have been warned.
-
-
- When you come to the stage in your life when drinking beer becomes a
- totally consuming passion,it inevitably leads to a proliference of
- puking.Now,some people don`t take too badly with a belly full of beer
- and are quite happy to piss all night and saunter home to sleep it
- off.Eric on the other hand had a terrible habit of being sick with
- drink.In fact he needed to be sick.We`d be playing pool or something,7
- or 8 pints down,and Eric would just say," Oooh,I`ll have to go and be
- sick ".And off he`d go,puke up,and then come back as if nowt had
- happened.Some nights though he`d need to give it the old two fingers
- down the throat or whatever to get the rythm going.One night he`d been
- to the bog and had come back moaning that he couldn`t be sick.He picks
- up one of those plastic tomato sauce sachets from the basket thing on
- the table and scoffs the sauce.Everyone else just looks in amazement
- as he now gets a tartar sauce one and does the same thing." What the
- hell are you doing ",I ask," trying to make myself sick ", comes the
- reply.He goes right through the basket of more than a dozen of these
- sachets of sauce,ripping off the top and eating the sauce.Anyway,it`s
- not working for him but the rest of us are going green just watching
- him with his face covered in bloody sauce.When the sauce is all
- finished,he wipes his face,picks up the pepper pot,whips off the
- lid.tips his head back and pours the pepper right in his gob.Well,
- straight away he coughs this humungous hack and fires pepper all over
- the place,everybody is jumping up and falling off their seats,the
- tables about knocked over,drinks spilling everywhere.The pepper rises
- in a huge cloud over the table while Eric is wretching,sneezing,coughing,
- farting,blowing bubbles of snot from his nose as he desperately staggers
- to his feet and charges off to the bog,what a mess.
- Another night in the same pub we were having a cider drinking
- competition in the games room.Eric`s downed 8 or 9 pints and suddenly
- feels the urge to be sick.He charges off to the bog but as he opens
- the door he`s already clamping his mouth to hold it in.As he lets go
- of his mouth to open the door of the stall it spits out in true Exorcist
- projectile fashion and sprays all over the backs of these two elderly
- gents suits who`re standing at the urinals taking a piss.Thrown out
- that time.
- Puking up over anyone is a bit of a no-no,but a policeman,yes he did.
- We`d been to the pictures one night and had a carry out in the car for
- when the flick finished.As it was summer time and nice and mild,we
- headed down to the beach to scoff our beers.Now being typical
- policemen up our way,they always tried to catch you out when you`re
- young.The policeman had obviously thought that if he came down to us
- with his car lights on he`d give the game away so he must have
- switched them and his engine off and coasted the last wee bit so that
- we wouldn`t hear him coming.Eric`s sitting on the car bonnet leaning
- way back to quaff the last few mouthfuls of his can,when this polis
- appears out of the dark and practically roars," What the hell are you
- lot up to at 2`o`clock in the morning ".Now Eric is not the bravest
- person around and practically shits himself when the copper roars,the
- beer goes down the wrong way and the puke comes walloping up all over
- the said coppers boots and trousers.To say he was rather annoyed would
- be like saying Adolph Hitler wasn`t a very nice chap.It was the first
- time I`d seen anyone going quite such a dark shade of purple as he let
- rip.Unfortunately for him though we weren`t actually doing anything
- wrong so he had to make do with a bollocking,but we were worried for
- a bit.
- We nearly lost him once actually when we were walking along the town`s
- sea front.He`d decided he had to be sick and went to go on his hands
- and knees to spew in the harbour.Being a bit wobbly though his hands
- went over the low rail and I just caught his belt before he went in
- the harbour.
- He did a similar thing another time when he went to be sick over the
- putting green wall and fell over it,falling over onto his back and
- throwing up Old Faithful style vertically.Very messy that one.
- In true suspense writing style I`ve saved the best,or worst,till last.
- We were going out with two girls at this time and they were probably a
- bit too posh for us really.The one Eric had was the pal of the one I`d
- been going out with and she wasn`t too keen on him.Anyway,we`d been to
- the pub till closing time and then we`d gone for a walk along the golf
- course.There`s this little shelter thing there where all the courting
- couples go for a sha...er..a kiss and cuddle.Each couple had an end of
- the shed each and the first I knew something was wrong was Eric`s
- voice from the gloom saying," I think I`m going to be sick ".I laughed
- and was immediately chastised by my girl and told to go with him.We
- went onto the road in front of the shelter and Eric`s leaning over the
- fence poking his finger over his throat.There was plenty of Blecchh
- type noises coming but that was all." Hurry up Eric for f....goodness
- sake ",I`m saying.The girls were so disgusted by now that they`re out
- on the road too getting ready to go.I noticed one of those huge black
- slugs sliding over the top rail of the fence and for a laugh I said to
- Eric to eat the slug.Without the slightest pause Eric picks up the
- slug and sticks it in his mouth.Not content with doing this though,he
- beging to chew the thing.One of the girls very nearly faints,the other
- screams and calls him the most disgusting bastard that she`s ever met
- and I was so amazed I just stood and watched him chewing.Two seconds
- later he`s honking up everything down as far as his kneecaps,so it had
- the desired effect.The girls just took off at the gallop,crying,screaming,
- wretching and just generally disappointed with the end of the evening.
- Funnily enough girls just don`t seem to appreciate that kind of
- behaviour.

- More on Eric next ish.
