'Five beers, five shots and a pizza.'

Without being one of those people who talks about drinking, isn't that faaaaaaairly average for a night out?

Even less than average. Six cans in pre-drinks and more drinks when you get out is the norm isn't it? As for the pizza, who doesn't want a greasilicious snack after a night's boozing dancing and year 8-style necking off?

I wonder if he was this much of a party animal when he was doing their good records (ie. the stuff before Plans).

Isn't it a shame when people who you looooooved as a tweenager end up being rubbish and uncool?
