BLACK EYE

Dublin was four days of endless drinking, mindless banter and non-stop laughs, but that will be written up in full a bit later.

We returned on Tuesday evening after far too few hours sleep, our livers and wallets reeling from the weekend's debauchery. Bearing in mind that I was due to start a new job the very next day and was quite nervous about it, this probably wasn't a good start. An early night beckoned, but never materialised and come morning, I was knackered.

I hadn't shaved for two days and the stubble growth was unacceptable. I wanted to be well-presented for my first day in the new job and decided that, despite the excessive fatigue, I would shave and make the effort so that I was nice and clean and tidy.

I tested the running water until it was the right temperature, went to splash my face in preparation for the shave and promptly head-butted the stainless steel tap. Consequence? Large bruise under left eye. Great.
