Schoolboy error. The correct solution is to put the Scotch to one side, get on the bike, fall off, pick up the Scotch and cycle home. Unless you've been drinking, how likely is it that you'll fall off your bike twice in one day?

A man goes into a café in Liverpool run by a koala. He asks "Do you use locally-sourced ingredients?"
"Yes" says the koala. "Our water is taken straight from the River Mersey."
The man asks for a cup of tea, but pulls a face when he tastes it.
"There are koala hairs in my tea" he complains.
"Oh, don't you know?" says the koala. "The koala tea of Mersey is not strained."
