Bless you for coming on here and letting everyone know,get well soon,take time to heal and we can all just look over old videos to support the channel.❤
A very wise man once told me "Everyone has to climb fools' mountain. Some it takes a lifetime to get over it and some never make it." He was a recovering alcoholic, a legendary pool shark, and a successful race car driver. Knowing there is a mountain in front of you is the first realization. Then the true work can begin, and you cannot climb it for anyone else but yourself. Best of luck to you. It sounds as if you are finally at that crossroads where you know that you know you must change. You can do it. I did and know many others who have done the same.
I once rescued a stray 70 year old who was so drunk he fell right through bushes. All that could be seen was one shoe sticking out of the bottom of the bush. At first I drove right past but caught sight in the corner of my eye so I went back expecting a corpse but he was drunk. I picked him up to his profuse apologies for being "slightly tipsy" (he was wankered) and stuck at an angle where he couldn't find anything to pull himself up. I offered him a lift home but he dusted off his old tweed jacket and went on his merry way.
Hedge wedges are a never ending obstacle when you're off your t.t's and live in the countryside with big wild hedges. I have wrestled with these bastards many times. It's not pulling yourself up that's the real problem, it's trying to push yourself out because inevitably you go further and further down into the hedge as you usually have nothing to get purchase on. The twigs and small branches of the hedge that have not already snapped when you fell, certainly do when you push down on them to get out. If you fall in forwards there's hope, even if you have to crawl out backward and take severe damage to the knees, but when you go in backwards, which always seemed to be the butter side of the toast for me, that's when you have real problems. If it's a really quiet lane you can be in there for hours, it's nice though, you can have a good think about your life choices while staring up at the stars, so long as it doesn't rain. Ahh the memories. I'm 73 now and into bed with a mug of hot milk by 2am 😉
I got home in that state once when I was about 19. Once mum had satisfied herself that there was no permanent damage she gave me a right boll**kin and said "and don't come looking to me for sympathy tomorrow, I don't do sympathy when it's self inflicted !" That was 40 years ago now, but I still remember it like it was yesterday. 😬
@@bennyhill4228 Mines gone too pal. I lost her to cancer when I was 22. I can still hear her "pointing me in the right direction" at times even now. And I still don't bloody listen to her half the time lol. Oh what I would give to spend just one more day with me mum & dad. I know that sounds daft coming from a 59 year old lol💔. I can't wait till Gaz starts posting again just to take the P, in a lighthearted way , of course. All the best pal.
It wasn't until I was in my 40s that I accidentally drank too much (it was a dinner party where the food was inedible and so there was nothing to mop up the alcohol). I felt fine but then found the entire story about feeling the effects was true when the fresh air hits you can be true. Out in the night air everything afterwards became a blank. The next day just wasn't funny...I was so embarrassed to be so old and discover it all.
@@bumblbesss Time. You dont see it yet it chases everybody, some in multiple ways - literaly and metaphorical. Some start running if time starts to overtake, others just wait and see what happens. Sometimes its bad if Time passes, sometimes its good, sometimes its inbetween.
Not only is running the BEST defense tool but anything that raises your heartbeat to the level that you get a little out of breath is healthy for your body and mind! Be it walking, jogging or running (or some other type of sport). Not only that but exercising releases feel good hormones such as dopamine and other chemicals in our brain, which makes us not only happier but also gives us energy! This is why many people choose to do some sport activity before work to get them by the day much easier. But this all needs to be done in moderation of course. Too much running for example can be detrimental for health.
Mate , most of us have been there at one time or another ! But the fact that you told and shown your viewers the state of you takes real guts , it's something not a lot of people would do. Have a speedy recovery, I hope that the missus didn't bollock you too much , and don't pick at the scabs ! It leaves scars . All the best Gareth .
I did similar years ago,. On the Monday at work the Manager asked what had happened. I told him I'd had a Joe Strummer moment, I fought the floor and the floor won!
So I’m nearly 70 and trying to remember the smell of germoline from my childhood s long time ago. germoline went on everything, sore toes an knees, chilblains and cut lips. Get well soon.
Gareth, Gareth, Gareth, what can I say, a lot of us have been in exactly the same scenarios, sometimes you get away with doing something totally stupid when you’ve had a drink sometimes it back fires. Main thing is you’re still alive and well enough to talk to us about it, I for one am grateful for that and I hope you recover quickly. I’m sure there will be a lot of folk in agreement with me when I suggest you start up your reviews again, with some flavour of soup. 👍❤️
Jeez man! It's happened to the worst of us. If you get any prolonged headaches or your vision starts going weird then you need to go to hospital for a brain scan. Best wishes and a speedy recovery!
but they wont be scanning your pint they should scan the road the hill and the pub but for scanning a brain not sure they can run that fast well done showing us all that it can be done by the best of us even when brainless
Good luck with your battle against the Demon Drink mate. I've been off the booze now for 9 years like yourself I didn't drink daily, again like yourself when I started I found it hard to stop, I was 48 when I chucked it mate my life has never been better although a bit laonely at times. Last year was a very hard year with family deaths but never was tempted to drink again. Hopefully everything works out for you in the future. All the best Scottish Stevie
Isn't it fun, waking up scarred, scabby, bleeding, aching and in pain in places we didn't know we had... and reflecting on what a great night we had. It takes me back.
The women like scars just joking I have scars on my face well I did use to do MMA so some might be from that and have accident too scars are not really good for you but don't worry about what people think of you just think you only know the reason why they are there people can think what ever they think how you have them I don't care what people say about me keep safe mate
Just think, in 10 years time when you do it again you can look back on this video and ask yourself "why didn't I learn my lesson then?". Men don't grow up, we just get old. ♥️😉♥️
Always proves to me the same thing "You're better staying at home where you're safe." Was a stupid thing to do, we've all been in that situation, the main thing is that you're just grazed and not seriously hurt.
Actually....the vast majority of accidents happen in the home lol. It's better to get out, have a fun life and accept the odd injury, it's well worth the laugh you'll have about it a few weeks down the line.
Im 52 ...i used to love cooking. I was quite good. I drank heavy. Only beer. Daily and eves only. Weekends or special occasions were rough. I remember being nightly afraid of that first beer...Literally afraid of myself. The things id do drinking. Oh man. I wasted my life. Up to 36. Then i stopped. I had so much pain in back the booze had helped supress it from a wreck at 18. I saw a doc and got on the pills. Replaced alcohol with it. To this day im still drink free and drug free minus the pacifier and new hate of being confined to subutex. 2mg. I hope you are done too my friend. Ive been lucky this med keeps me from the bottle. Whats crazy is once i quit drinking i stopped cooking. I just didnt enjoy it anymore. I got back into music tho. Much love to ya man. Stay strong. You got this.
Don’t be hard on yourself pal these things happen especially when you’re a fun loving person. I once flew down a massive hill on my son’s little scooter and couldn’t stop. I ended up tumbling into the middle of the play area full of kids and adults like a cartwheel and smashed my head open ripped my jeans and wrecked my best coat. Pain and embarrassment followed and whenever I think about it i cringe! Get well soon ❤️
Strangers? We're your extended family from afar and we love ya, for all the joy n peace you share with us, be well and prosper king, wishing you a full and speedy recovery !
Ouch! Bless you! I’d get a scan just to check there’s no hidden damage. Sending hugs. Take it easy. We’ll still be here when you’re ready to come back.
How fortunate it wasn't any worse and that a good samaritan came along to assist. Just get better asap for yourself and your family - and let it hopefully be an 'internal' advisory not to 'repeat' - it cold have been so much worse in different circumstances. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Gareth, bless yer mate! Very big of you to tell your followers of your adventure with a hill. We have all done some dodgy things in our lives and we make sure they are never repeated when they hurt! We learn a lesson as you have. Apparently the council are looking for the culprit who damaged the road!! Get well soon, that could have been a lot worse. Get some rest. 😉👍
Thank goodness you made through and are alive. Three years back, i was thrown out of my RV by my ex after a night of drinking. In the high fall, my right knee was severely damaged. After a year of disability, i had surgery and rehab. I still have a torn ACL, but I'm 85% better. Long story short, I'm lucky to be alive. That was my wake-up call.
Mate, you've made my evening. I'm not alone! In my fifties and after a similar night out I went a over t through stinging nettles into a river. Never grow up. All the best!
I don't understand why anyone would want to be drunk they are unable to walk, are vulnerable enough to end up into a river or get run over. People do drown, as a woman I don't want to get drunk, I could get taken advantage off, get attacked, spiked, robbed. I like to have my wits about me for survival purposes. being drink means you are very vulnerable to anything. I just don't understand why getting drunk is fun, it doesn't sound fun to me at all.
Gaz on behalf of all the TH-camrs who watch your channel get better mate , don't rush back and take it easy until your 100%. We don't want to see you back until you're SPOT ON.
The Aldi man, known in the supermarket world as Don Corleone, got the boys round, to make you an offer you couldn't refuse. Top 100% scores for Aldi pies, pasties, and sausages, from now on!
It was brave of you to actually reveal what happened and admit you may have had a few. Nothing wrong with that. Take care, drink plenty of water and rest. Hope you’re better soon 🏴
I face planted on grass chasing my nephew when he was little. The rest of the family asked me if I was ok and when I said yes they all doubled over and started crying from laughter= Bankers!!!! lol
That's a bit of a shocker I just turned my phone to see what's new, and there you were. Take easy mate, we'll still be here when you're all sorted. Take it easy.
Don't use germolene too much, just the 1st day! It'll keep your wounds open, it's good initially to clean them. Use savlon or something like that! I used to be a barber I know about these things! Hope you have a speedy recovery 👍
I was about to run down some elses face, chin up big fella, fair play to ya mam, am sure you'll be spot on , you'll be grand in a week, lease it's all innocence. And great man for been open and honest mate, we all LOVE YOU, CHIN UP !!!
I've done that to myself out running (as in "jogging" - totally sober) - very similar injuries. Take care and I hope you get lots of supporting getting on the wagon and staying there! You'll always have food for a passion when you ditch the booze. And don't beat yourself up too much about the fall. Some people look like that because they started a brawl and hurt people. You clearly didn't do that.
I've been there-twice! Once tripping and (with arms flailing) smashed (face first) into a concrete wall with the result that I looked like you do now - I needed stitches. Fortunately, an off-duty nurse helped me on my feet, I was trying to drag myself up on my car bonnet. Required hospital treatment. The second time (a couple of years later) I tripped in a Sainsbury's car park and it was identical to the one above, but with more blood and a busted nose. The store manager and staff were marvellous, put me in a wheelchair and got me to hospital. It was more or less like the previous fall. I was pushing eighty then. Anyway Gareth, might be a good idea to have a check-up with your GP. Get well soon.
Hope you get well soon fella. Don't worry about it to much we have all done silly things when drinking, I'm 40 this year with 4 smashing kids and decided to give booze up now as don't find it fun anymore more to life I think.
I’ve never met you my friend. But I have battled the same demons as you, I am now 11yrs sober. You are WORTH EVRY BIT OF EFFORT YOU PUT INTO YOURSELF. I’ve never met you and I love you my brother. PLEASE KEEP DRIVING YOURSELF FORWARD, ITS WORTH ALL THE PAIN.
I did the same thing outside the N.E.C waiting to hear Rush. Apparently i did about ten steps then fell flat on my face at a weird angle coming of a very steep concrete hill. Smashed my face right up n I looked n felt awful for weeks after. The music of Rush lifted my spirits and I dealt with my wounds the next day. Lots of substances were involved to to cope with my pain.😋 Great gig. All the very best Gareth. I hope you start to feel much better very soon. At least their was no malice in what happened n just a mistake. Bless the bloke eho stopped n talked to you n helped. Good man. Take excellent care of yourself. You deserve beer, football, quiet moments and good food n sleep, bud.
Beer is the cause and solution to all of life's problems. We have all been there at some point, take it easy Gaz and see you when you're feeling better mate.
When you fall you generally use your hands and arms to protect yourself especially your head and face, but when a drunk gets obnoxious to the wrong person then he more likely looks like you this morning and covers up the whoopin he took with a I fell down story ... either way thou it's a learning experience to learn and grow from but weather or not you do is completely up to you 😉
Oh, no, Gareth!! Thank Heaven it was no worse. Perhaps this painful experience will turn out to be a blessing in disguise - something that makes you more cautious and thus helps you avoid something really serious down the road. Best wishes from across the pond that you're soon feeling a great deal better.
Sorry to see this bud. You did a fine job! As others have mentioned, monitor yourself over the next 48 hours or so, just to make sure you have not done any cranial damage. What a mess. Get well soon.
Gareth, how awful! Lesson learned. I will never forget blacking out whilst driving years ago as well as drinking in NYC, not knowing how on earth I got to Brooklyn, passed out on a subway bench, getting sick. A big wake up call! I still drink, but very rarely, and usually never over what I can handle. Concentrate on your recovery.
This gentleman is a bit old to be getting so drunk He can't even stand up, I was 16 when I last did that and since then I can't get drunk. Ofcourse I drink somtimes pretty heavy but still can ride a pushbike home 5 miles if need be. Last time I was drinking white, Gin, lager, Guiness. I had foid in My left hand that and cycled home with one hand.
I'm surprised that you weren't taken to A&E if you had knocked yourself out, blimey fella. Speedy recovery and we will be here for you when you feeling up to it to announce that "You're spot on" take care Gareth.
We all fall from grace mate. It's how you get back up and go again that matters. Good to see you getting looked after. Dave must of had his angels very busy that night. 🙏
Man! I did the same three weeks ago. I was found sleeping in a Rose Bed cut to shreds! I'm nearly 60!!! The girls dressed my wounds and put me to bed after undressing me and taking the thorns out with tweezers and love! I was commando which was embarrassing the next day. They weren't fazed, thank God. Medication and booze doesn't work well! Give it a couple of weeks and you'll look normal again. Don't pick the scabs!
Ouch. I feel your pain. Early last December I was up in Cumbria marshalling on a forest car rally the weekend of the big snow. Whilst trying to push a stuck rally car, I slipped in the snow and headbutted Cumbria. It was frozen at the time, so it really, really hurt. Ended up with the bestest shiner of ever, and might have fractured an eye socket, but even then I didn't look as banged up as you do. Take your time healing up and don't feel under any pressure to be putting out videos until you're back to 100%. Get well soon. All the best.
@@StephenReid-hk8hs, unfortunately I was stone cold sober at the time, but I sorted that out with a fistful of painkillers, several pints, and quite a bit of whisky. I am a pharmacist, and I tell you, you can mix painkillers and booze. - As long as you don't plan on driving, or operating heavy machinery. 😉

I did exactly the same thing developed a massive black eye and hematoma on my head luckily didnt fracture my skull. Its so dangerous . Glad you didnt come to serious harm. Take care of yourself buddy 👍
Wishing you a speedy recovery! We all do things we come to regret, and I have had my fair share too and I don't even drink, I am just clumsy! At some point you'll look back at this and have a good chuckle at yourself! But until then, take it easy!
Many years ago blind drunk fell on my face directly on the tarmac, bust my Jaw, scraped all the skin off from eye to chin, stumbled home (5 miles) and went to bed...next MORNING...OH, the PAIN.
We human beans have been getting drunk and hurting ourselves for the entirety of recorded human history...we are never going to learn! 🤕 Get well soon Gareth. 👍
There’s probably not many of us that can say we haven’t done anything daft after a few or more drinkies. Don’t beat yourself up about it. Hope you feel better very soon. ❤
As my old man said to me when i was younger When the drinks in the Brains out iv never forgotten those words its stopped me doing many stupid things in drink
somebody once told me "growing old is inevitable, growing UP is optional".

Whats crazy is once i quit drinking i stopped cooking. I just didnt enjoy it anymore. I got back into music tho. Much love to ya man. Stay strong. You got this.
When they say Drink is bad for you they weren't kidding! get well soon. I have done the same thing a few times but waking in a Cell taught me!
Don’t be hard on yourself pal these things happen especially when you’re a fun loving person. I once flew down a massive hill on my son’s little scooter and couldn’t stop. I ended up tumbling into the middle of the play area full of kids and adults like a cartwheel and smashed my head open ripped my jeans and wrecked my best coat. Pain and embarrassment followed and whenever I think about it i cringe! Get well soon ❤️
As long as you're not a 'fun loving criminal' ! 😁
If your wife is taking issues at your reviews, blink three times!
😂😂😂
Dude 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂👍
That made me laugh 😂
So funny. Will cheer him up. 😂
Strangers? We're your extended family from afar and we love ya, for all the joy n peace you share with us, be well and prosper king, wishing you a full and speedy recovery !
Ouch! Bless you! I’d get a scan just to check there’s no hidden damage. Sending hugs. Take it easy. We’ll still be here when you’re ready to come back.
How fortunate it wasn't any worse and that a good samaritan came along to assist. Just get better asap for yourself and your family - and let it hopefully be an 'internal' advisory not to 'repeat' - it cold have been so much worse in different circumstances. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Gareth, bless yer mate! Very big of you to tell your followers of your adventure with a hill. We have all done some dodgy things in our lives and we make sure they are never repeated when they hurt! We learn a lesson as you have. Apparently the council are looking for the culprit who damaged the road!! Get well soon, that could have been a lot worse. Get some rest. 😉👍
Thank goodness you made through and are alive. Three years back, i was thrown out of my RV by my ex after a night of drinking. In the high fall, my right knee was severely damaged. After a year of disability, i had surgery and rehab. I still have a torn ACL, but I'm 85% better. Long story short, I'm lucky to be alive. That was my wake-up call.
Mate, you've made my evening. I'm not alone! In my fifties and after a similar night out I went a over t through stinging nettles into a river. Never grow up. All the best!
I don't understand why anyone would want to be drunk they are unable to walk, are vulnerable enough to end up into a river or get run over. People do drown, as a woman I don't want to get drunk, I could get taken advantage off, get attacked, spiked, robbed. I like to have my wits about me for survival purposes. being drink means you are very vulnerable to anything. I just don't understand why getting drunk is fun, it doesn't sound fun to me at all.
@beaulieuc8910 no one says you have to, each to their own x
Good old Mum, God Bless her! ❤ XXX
This is something i'd expect from my 18 year old! Dave Myers would be proud..
Keep your head up high we all done things when we’re drunk wish you all best speedy recovery kind regards Steve
I remember doing the exact same thing a few years back, your not stupid mate, you've got a lot of friends here 🙂
Take care, hope you get well sooner . More info on tihis please ❤️
it is stupid
Gaz on behalf of all the TH-camrs who watch your channel get better mate , don't rush back and take it easy until your 100%. We don't want to see you back until you're SPOT ON.
That's not true i want to see how his black eye develops 😂
The Aldi man, known in the supermarket world as Don Corleone, got the boys round, to make you an offer you couldn't refuse.
Top 100% scores for Aldi pies, pasties, and sausages, from now on!
It was brave of you to actually reveal what happened and admit you may have had a few. Nothing wrong with that. Take care, drink plenty of water and rest. Hope you’re better soon 🏴
On the next food review... "Hospital Meals"
1 boiled potato and brown slime
That's what you get
That's easy! Hospital food is universally bad and I have no idea how somebody could possibly get better eating that stuff.
🤣
@@ryanjones8776 they aren’t bad in our local hospital and the restaurant attached
Privatisation = 5 star prices for a third world service.
I face planted on grass chasing my nephew when he was little. The rest of the family asked me if I was ok and when I said yes they all doubled over and started crying from laughter= Bankers!!!! lol
That's a bit of a shocker I just turned my phone to see what's new, and there you were. Take easy mate, we'll still be here when you're all sorted. Take it easy.
Yes got a shock
@@philipjones9458 I thought he'd been beaten up or mugged.
Don't use germolene too much, just the 1st day! It'll keep your wounds open, it's good initially to clean them. Use savlon or something like that! I used to be a barber I know about these things! Hope you have a speedy recovery 👍
How many people did you maim?
Aww how sweet that you went to your mum's for her to make you better. Hope you have a speedy recovery. It looks bad but I bet it feels even worse.
You should have seen the hill afterwards though!
Potholes like ramps
I was about to run down some elses face, chin up big fella, fair play to ya mam, am sure you'll be spot on , you'll be grand in a week, lease it's all innocence. And great man for been open and honest mate, we all LOVE YOU, CHIN UP !!!
If the Mrs is responsible…give me a signal! 😂
Next review = soup!
That must have been a real shock. Hope you're feeling better soon. Drink or no drink, sometimes 💩 just happens.
There are some good people out there, get yourself sorted, and checked over. All the best
I've done that to myself out running (as in "jogging" - totally sober) - very similar injuries. Take care and I hope you get lots of supporting getting on the wagon and staying there! You'll always have food for a passion when you ditch the booze. And don't beat yourself up too much about the fall. Some people look like that because they started a brawl and hurt people. You clearly didn't do that.
I've been there-twice! Once tripping and (with arms flailing) smashed (face first) into a concrete wall with the result that I looked like you do now - I needed stitches. Fortunately, an off-duty nurse helped me on my feet, I was trying to drag myself up on my car bonnet. Required hospital treatment. The second time (a couple of years later) I tripped in a Sainsbury's car park and it was identical to the one above, but with more blood and a busted nose. The store manager and staff were marvellous, put me in a wheelchair and got me to hospital. It was more or less like the previous fall. I was pushing eighty then. Anyway Gareth, might be a good idea to have a check-up with your GP. Get well soon.
Love this guy
Fair play lol
Hope you get well soon fella. Don't worry about it to much we have all done silly things when drinking, I'm 40 this year with 4 smashing kids and decided to give booze up now as don't find it fun anymore more to life I think.
Fair to say lesson learned mate, its a good job theres a bit of kindness left in this world
Absolutely
@@BaldFoodieGuy sounds like you had more than "a few pints" mate 😂 rest up and recover
I’ve never met you my friend. But I have battled the same demons as you, I am now 11yrs sober. You are WORTH EVRY BIT OF EFFORT YOU PUT INTO YOURSELF. I’ve never met you and I love you my brother. PLEASE KEEP DRIVING YOURSELF FORWARD, ITS WORTH ALL THE PAIN.
Cheers mate yes not easy is it
@@BaldFoodieGuy No it’s not, but I promise it’s worth every second of effort. I’m proud you’re trying. Head up, move forward. YOU’VE GOT THIS.
I did the same thing outside the N.E.C waiting to hear Rush. Apparently i did about ten steps then fell flat on my face at a weird angle coming of a very steep concrete hill. Smashed my face right up n I looked n felt awful for weeks after. The music of Rush lifted my spirits and I dealt with my wounds the next day. Lots of substances were involved to to cope with my pain.😋 Great gig. All the very best Gareth. I hope you start to feel much better very soon. At least their was no malice in what happened n just a mistake. Bless the bloke eho stopped n talked to you n helped. Good man. Take excellent care of yourself. You deserve beer, football, quiet moments and good food n sleep, bud.
Beer is the cause and solution to all of life's problems. We have all been there at some point, take it easy Gaz and see you when you're feeling better mate.
Is that a Homer Simpson quote?😆
@@TheMerlin672 Yes 😄
not at all. it ruins lives
@@beaulieuc8910 You missed out the word CAN. Alcohol doesn't ruin lives, excessive drinking does.
You got very lucky there! Lesson to all of us that drink
Drinking is O.K in moderation, just don't attempt running down a Hill.
@@nealgrimes4382 i think he's joking. He's been in a fight.
@@ceejless4589 they look the result of a fall not a fight....gaz seems too nice a guy to get involved in a fight
@@paulrichards6894 From the bottom of the chin to the upper side of the head? And only the passerby saw him?
@@ceejless4589 I don't think so those don't look like fight injuries, they look like scraping.
When you fall you generally use your hands and arms to protect yourself especially your head and face, but when a drunk gets obnoxious to the wrong person then he more likely looks like you this morning and covers up the whoopin he took with a I fell down story ... either way thou it's a learning experience to learn and grow from but weather or not you do is completely up to you 😉
just thinking the same exact thing 😭
Ouch! Hope you have a swift recovery.
Oh, no, Gareth!! Thank Heaven it was no worse. Perhaps this painful experience will turn out to be a blessing in disguise - something that makes you more cautious and thus helps you avoid something really serious down the road. Best wishes from across the pond that you're soon feeling a great deal better.
probably not
Sorry to see this bud. You did a fine job! As others have mentioned, monitor yourself over the next 48 hours or so, just to make sure you have not done any cranial damage. What a mess. Get well soon.
All the best to you Gaz, don't be too hard on yourself pal. Wishing you a speedy recovery, take care mate👍🏻
Gareth, how awful!
Lesson learned.
I will never forget blacking out whilst driving years ago as well as drinking in NYC, not knowing how on earth I got to Brooklyn, passed out on a subway bench, getting sick. A big wake up call!
I still drink, but very rarely, and usually never over what I can handle.
Concentrate on your recovery.
This gentleman is a bit old to be getting so drunk He can't even stand up, I was 16 when I last did that and since then I can't get drunk. Ofcourse I drink somtimes pretty heavy but still can ride a pushbike home 5 miles if need be. Last time I was drinking white, Gin, lager, Guiness. I had foid in My left hand that and cycled home with one hand.
Damn bro, glad you're good.
I'm surprised that you weren't taken to A&E if you had knocked yourself out, blimey fella. Speedy recovery and we will be here for you when you feeling up to it to announce that "You're spot on" take care Gareth.
God bless. Stay strong. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍
We all fall from grace mate. It's how you get back up and go again that matters. Good to see you getting looked after. Dave must of had his angels very busy that night. 🙏
Gravity is the undefeated champion.
Gravity does Not exist...
Gravity does Not pull Anything.
Mate, Been there, They said run fast, it will be fun, they said...
It is fun until you fall.
They lied 😒
Why you want to run at his age is a mystery. Drink must have been strong or plentiful.
Yep, my mates said "get in that supermarket trolley and let us push you down the hill"🤕
@@Norfolkbiker50 Sounds like a scene from Last Of The Summer Wine. Were you Compo?😂
Mum's are always there for us no matter how old we are get well soon and there is some good people out there ❤️👍
That's rough. All the best for your recovery.
Man! I did the same three weeks ago. I was found sleeping in a Rose Bed cut to shreds! I'm nearly 60!!! The girls dressed my wounds and put me to bed after undressing me and taking the thorns out with tweezers and love!
I was commando which was embarrassing the next day. They weren't fazed, thank God.
Medication and booze doesn't work well!
Give it a couple of weeks and you'll look normal again. Don't pick the scabs!
Boys never grow up
All the best mate Take care❤
Ouch.
I feel your pain.
Early last December I was up in Cumbria marshalling on a forest car rally the weekend of the big snow.
Whilst trying to push a stuck rally car, I slipped in the snow and headbutted Cumbria. It was frozen at the time, so it really, really hurt.
Ended up with the bestest shiner of ever, and might have fractured an eye socket, but even then I didn't look as banged up as you do.
Take your time healing up and don't feel under any pressure to be putting out videos until you're back to 100%.
Get well soon. All the best.
Headbuted Cumbria lol I've also done some stupid things on the booze 👍
@@StephenReid-hk8hs, unfortunately I was stone cold sober at the time, but I sorted that out with a fistful of painkillers, several pints, and quite a bit of whisky.
I am a pharmacist, and I tell you, you can mix painkillers and booze. - As long as you don't plan on driving, or operating heavy machinery. 😉
I did exactly the same thing developed a massive black eye and hematoma on my head luckily didnt fracture my skull. Its so dangerous . Glad you didnt come to serious harm. Take care of yourself buddy 👍
Gareth the thing is concrete is harder than any man i know from past painful experience with it 😊
Take it easy, pal. Health is more important.
Wishing you a speedy recovery! We all do things we come to regret, and I have had my fair share too and I don't even drink, I am just clumsy! At some point you'll look back at this and have a good chuckle at yourself! But until then, take it easy!
If you're not grown up by the time you are 30 you don't have too!!
I'm 66 and still haven't grown up! 🤣🤣
to, not too.
@@alastairgreen2077 Yeah somehow that slipped by me!
Many years ago blind drunk fell on my face directly on the tarmac, bust my Jaw, scraped all the skin off from eye to chin, stumbled home (5 miles) and went to bed...next MORNING...OH, the PAIN.
My toes are curled just reading that. Aaggghhhh.
Sore sore sore!
You landed spot on ,I bet you won’t be doing that in an hurry again
he probably will if he likes booze
Awh you poor bugger. Don’t be hard on yourself. Let yourself off this one and mind yourself. ❤❤❤
We human beans have been getting drunk and hurting ourselves for the entirety of recorded human history...we are never going to learn! 🤕
Get well soon Gareth. 👍
Human beans, are these Heinz or Aldi brand?
He drinks beer, eats pork, is chr1stian and engli$h. Winning 😃
not everyone, I don't drink and never got drunk.
There’s probably not many of us that can say we haven’t done anything daft after a few or more drinkies. Don’t beat yourself up about it. Hope you feel better very soon. ❤
I am very sorry that you got beaten up I’m very sorry mate I hope full recovery ❤️🩹 you take care mate ❤️🩹
This is why I drink at home
Same 😊
so people fall down stairs and beat up their partners
@@beaulieuc8910 lol, I live alone and live in a bungalow 😋 now what?
As my old man said to me when i was younger
When the drinks in the Brains out iv never forgotten those words its stopped me doing many stupid things in drink
Respect for sharing!! Most would just cover and hide, I've known a few other lads that have done this so nah worries and get better!!
If you’re doing silly things when drinking/drunk… it’s time to give up the drinking!
he has come to that conclusion, yes
Doing silly things when sober is worse.
Ah, sorry this happened. Rest up and take lots of water. It happens to the best of us. Hugs and blessings.
Few beers ? How many blimey hope you recover quickly stay safe
That's a 10 pint face at least!
@@DLC-sy7pp 😂
Gareth….now taste testing tarmac, gravel and pavement……get well soon you silly bastard 😂
We've all done things like this,your life and the rest of it is important.Make every minute counts because life is far to short.
I don't think you were foolish Gaz, you were just having innocent fun. Get well soon.
