The usual hangover is little more than a whimper today, despite my body being being burnt at both ends. I sometimes think a hangover is nothing but a warning to stop abusing your body. But sometimes, the body just gives up and accepts its fate. With yesterday’s accomplishment still fresh in my mind, I agree to meet Dwayne for a beer. Bragging isn’t really Industry Boy’s forte so I keep quiet but Dwayne as always, is keen to share the grisly details of his night. 

“You won’t fucking believe what happened to me last night son,” he says, puffing away on a cigarette with his feet up on the table.

I nod and close my eyes for a second, prepared for the worst.

“I ended up hooking with Danny Howells last night.

“So anyway, me, Danny and a couple of other monkeys are rolling around town, drinking and getting into a bit of trouble.

“This geezer comes up to me and asks me if I want any pills. I’m like you’re off you chopper geez, if you think I’m touching any of that malarkey’. But then I asked him if he could get any magic mushrooms.”

Some of Dwayne’s self-proclaimed greatest moments have happened whilst he has been on the psychoactive fungi.

“Sure enough, the bloke comes back 45 minutes later with a handful.

“Fantastic. So I grab Danny boy, and a couple of other people, and we head back to his hotel room.

“We bosh a load, and then things get a bit weird. I’m battling, but Howells, mate he’s in another place!

“For a laugh, I chuck some of Danny’s clothes off the balcony.

“But then he goes nuts and starts throwing all sorts of shit off the balcony.

“Even the fucking sofa. We’re like 19 storeys up or summin’, it was proper rock ‘n’ roll. He trashed his hotel room. It was hilarious dude, you should have seen it.”

Whilst Dwayne laughs uncontrollably at the images that float down from his disjointed memory, Industry Boy quietly wishes Danny Howells had thrown Dwayne off the balcony.
