I think we've all had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd soiree over the years, but being older and smarter, Mrs. Wood and I have done something about it: Last night we went out for a few quiet drinks and ended up having a few loud ones too.
Knowing full well we were wasted, we did something we've never done before: We took a bus home. What's more, we arrived home safely and without incident which was a quite a surprise really since Mrs. Wood has never driven a bus before.
