Booze helps British man survive 60 hours -- under a sofa
Buzz up!Like this story? Share it with Yahoo! Buzz
Sometimes you might end up on the sofa after you start drinking whiskey.
Joe Galliott, however, starting drinking whiskey after he ended up under his sofa — face down for 2½ days.
The Sun tabloid got the excloo on the 65-year-old former bricklayer from Somerset, England.
Galliott has a bad back and couldn't escape his dark blue velour predicament, which began when he stumbled during a power failure and the three-seater toppled on top of him. (What, you're skeptical??)
"The whole settee tipped over, catching me like a rat in a trap," he told the BBC. For 60 hours he had no food or water, just a bottle of whiskey that he said had "rolled within reach."
"I took a sip of it and thought, 'Well this isn't too bad.' "
Neighbors finally discovered him. He spent five days in the hospital.
Galliott is preparing for the next emergency. He's keeping another bottle of whiskey by the sofa "just in case."

It's a well known* scientific fact that all British people can survive entirely on alcohol. It's connected to out winter hibernation gene.
You'd think that you might, after a while anyway, shout for help or something. we're too polite for own own good

My kids would agree with that statement.
Being old means we don't drink cheap stuff-we can get bombed more easily with more expensive booze

It's so tragic to see what old age and infirmity does to a man.
kid S ? I thought you just had the one.
Quite partial to the odd Bacardi and coke myself upon reflection, although Red Bull and vodka is superior.

Not to be confused with a Tramp Grill, which is in fact any sunny area on which Gentleman of the Road tend to congregate to greet passers by of a Summers day. Like Park Benches, under town Clocks etc.

Yep, very different:
My bold (ICKY!!!)
http://www.drugfree.org/portal/drug_guide/crystal_meth/
What is Crystal Meth?
Crystal Meth is a very pure, smokeable form of methamphetamine. It is a powerful and extremely addictive man-made stimulant. Its use can lead to severe physiological and psychological dependence.
What does it look like?
Clear crystal chunks, similar in appearance to actual ice or glass. Crystal Meth is odorless and colorless.
How is it used?
Crystal Meth is usually smoked, but is sometimes snorted or injected. The drug is abused because of its euphoric effects.
What are its short-term effects?
The drug’s effects are similar to those of cocaine but longer lasting. Crystal Meth can cause erratic, violent behavior among its users. Effects include suppressed appetite, interference with sleeping behavior, mood swings and unpredictability, tremors and convulsions, increased blood pressure, irregular heart rate. Users may also experience homicidal or suicidal thoughts, prolonged anxiety, paranoia and insomnia.
Crystal meth use by pregnant women can lead to premature birth or birth defects, including heart defects and cleft palate.
What are its long-term effects?
Long-term effects of Crystal Meth use can include brain damage (similar to the effects of Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease), coma, stroke or death. Chronic users may also develop distinct physical symptoms, as demonstrated by before and after pictures in the Faces of MethTM program. Signs of chronic use include weight loss, tooth decay and cracked teeth (“Meth Mouth”), psychosis and hallucinations, sores on the body from picking at skin, and formication (an abnormal skin sensation akin to "bugs crawling on skin").

Or, of course, a "tramp stamp" , A tattoo above a woman's ass crack.
"Her pants were so low cut, you could see her tramp stamp. "
@ Mr. Frazzled, yeah, generally called crystal meth over here in the media, ice referring to diamonds. I guess that depends upon your social group too perhaps.
Over here it was "suggested"-- LEGAL DISCLAIMER ENTIRELY UNTRUTHFULLY TOO OF COURSE-- that that was what behind Britney Spears somewhat "podd behaviour" and led her to get her hair shaved off.

Tramp stamp has the same term here. A married friend of She Who Must Be Obeyed had such and turned out to be quite, er accurate, as we later found out.
