Or perhaps it's more of a thread bump?

Dunno - he could be referring to that miniscule window where you are a true genius at whatever you're doing - normally engaged
in darts, snooker, pool, bowling or computer games and the like.

For me it's just after starting the third pint and lasts for about 9 minutes, or half a pint later - there's a gradual increase in skill/confidence to this wonder-period where I am a Golden God, then there is a massive fall off and only gets exponentionally worse.

The missus and her family are all from Bermondsey, took me to a traditional pie and mash shop near tower bridge road. Seriously don’t know what all the fuss is about. Didmy go down well with her and family when I said it was a bit bland 😂

You are speaking of “Three Pint Island”...a wonderful place, and the ideal destination for all elite sportsmen. See also skiing, wakeboarding etc.

One of my mates is fking superb at pacing himself so he can stay on the island for hours. He becomes unbeatable at the bowl8ng alley...

Is the correct answer. You don't even have to have a proper ball, just some kickable object that won't break too easily.

nah. tig/tag is the simplest.

young kids absolutely love it. it's an epic game. no coverage on TV though, so not played by older kids

Lol! Pretty much nailed it. I really had my eye in on some laps round oulton park, then I necked another glass during a pit stop and went over the cliff.

Yes, that geeky football hating kid in form 4B.

The one who draws pictures of cars during break times?

What I noticed was that after two to three pints I drove like a total wker. The more I drunk after that, the more 'sensibly' I drove.

This just reminds me of the drug driving scene in Wolf of Wall Street.

I think it has to do with the fact that as you become more inebriated, you become less inhibited so you begin taking risks you wouldn't ordinarily take. Sometimes these risks can pan out until the loss of dexterity and lowered reaction times become an issue.

For me this window is around the 2-4 pint mark.

Could be less or more with many other factors as well.

Especially if it was pints of Crème de menthe.

Absolutely, which is why I use a rather large range.

I.E. I'm usually sitting down when I'm playing video games... getting up to get that 5th ale of the evening is sometimes a bit of a shock to discover how uncoordinated I've become.

That happens with age as well

I don't watch the london marathon to see people in wheel chairs, bat men outfits or slow elite women being paced by men. Mohammed is being a little bit@h aswell, no surprise.

I too am from Bermondsey, by way of the Elephant and Castle, but since I “arrived” when I became a Black Cab driver, I elevated myself to Rotherhithe.
My wife and her family are from Peckham, I never tire of reminding her that I rescued her from imminent third world-dom, and brought her to civilisation.
I digress, she, and all her family are fans of pie, mash, and liquor, liquor apparently being the water that eels were stewed in, with parsley added, eeeww!
Personally, I can eat the pies, and the mash is okay, but just looking at that liquor gives me the dry heaves.
