and much more besides

I've never been very quick to get to various webmemes and suchlike over the years and everyone has probably already seen this, but whether you have or not, consider it over the winter festive period when consuming mind-constraining liquids, particularly when in large groups of people doing similarly. I had to negotiate several small clumps of probably students seemingly attempting some form of fancy-dress pub crawl/treasure hunt sort of thing on my walkings this evening and a few of them were in the sort of state where they didn't consider it necessary to look behind them at the approaching buses before jumping into the road to pass sections of blocked pavement, though at least they weren't just barging past other people or pushing old grannies into the road. Had they attempted to barge past the large crowd of red-faced, sweating, bellowing male-folk walking in the other direction and looking very much like a stag party (though they weren't really in the right place, though might have been heading towards the town centre from accommodation to the south) there would probably have been some of that distasteful fighting business. Mind everything, just in case. If in doubt, sit down when waiting for trains or buses or when in any sort of location where the wrong movement could be your last movement of any voluntary kind. Retaining some form of control over your body is probably the better option in the long run.
