Or having a block party and drinking on the night off during an exercise, then bimbling back into work in the early hours and later being interviewed by the SIB because someone burnt the police block down next to ours.. who knew, we missed all the fun.. SIB could not believe we worked late, drank to the early hours, then went back to work lol.
