I love the bit about having almost another two pints before deciding to fly home.

[Two's in]

Well at least the "you'd have to be drunk or stupid to fly like that" conundrum has two possible outcomes...

I cant see 2 pints and a shandy having any effect on your flying .....either it was a lot more than that or he is just a crap pilot !!
I just presume he was flying a Robinson .....??!!

[Fat Magpie]

There are people I know , non pilots i would not let drive having consumed a Shandy and two pints. But I suspect the almost two pints is Irish for six.

Before I take any heat, I would like to point out I'm Irish.
