The tabloids are often full of boozy Brit stories: some poor chav emptying his half digested kebab in the face of an old lady; a footballer’s floozy flashing her lady garden to vaguely interested paparazzi; sensitive musicians planting a fist in the face of a star-struck fan. The list could go on.

The latest tabloid treat brings news of one Fat Boy making a drunken splash in Newquay, and being mistaken for the beast of Bodmin Moor! To clarify, this is not the Friday night antics of Brighton based Fat Boy Slim. No folks, this is Fat Boy the moorland pony whose alcoholic tendencies saw him plunge head first into the swimming pool of a startled 28 year old woman.

Fat Boy Swim as he is now known (here at Your Life anyway!) obviously hasn’t been practicing his surfing skills and had to be rescued by police and firemen in the early hours of the morning. It transpires that the pony had eaten hundreds of rotting apples, leaving him well truly over the drink-ride limit.
