I have a friend of a friend type of mate (U tube naked golfer). He lives about 30 miles away but on Monday he was up my neck of the woods, intended to have a drink and stay over at his/my mates place.
So we have our drink, get extremely bladdered. I leave about 2:30am and last night I ask my friend what time they got away. About 5:30. bloody taxi never turned up (I was there when they ordered it)
Ouch a heavy one. The only reason they left at that time was my mate looked around and his mate had disappeared, walked outside got in his car and driven the 30 miles home. What can I say idiot, fool, knob. Thank god, he apparently made it home without incident.
This mate of a mate is a nice chap, despite having been sectioned twice, getting tags and curfews etc. He does not deliberately set out to be stupid, but somehow it just happens. He has a drink and somehow goes completely off the rails. despite being the far side of 40 he has started knocking women up. 25 years of recreational sh***ing without incident and then 3 different pregnant woman inside of the last 12 months (we now call him the impregnator). His mother phones my mates family to try and grab him and get him back on side before the police are forced to, etc. Well this time my mate has had it with him.
He is good craic, the wife loves him. Witty, entertaining, a thoroughly nice chap, until something goes ping in his head and he reverts back to being the loon. Next time I see him, I will tell him what a knob he was. He will agree and apologise, yet somehow you just know the loon will strike again.
I don't want to get him in trouble, he has enough problems. But I cannot condone his driving home when he is bladdered to the point he could hardly stand (when I left he was led on the floor struggling to get up, after a shin kicking contest).
I know he will be back. Do I next time demand his keys before I will drink with him? Do I leave well alone, let him be my/his mates problem?
What does the org wisdom say I should do with the loon?
