First time ecstasy user, Arthur Hamilton, from Leeds, is feeling “stupid and sorry” today after it was reported that when handed his first ever pill in the club last night he stupidly let it fall on the floor after his mates told him to “drop it”.
Nineteen year old Arthur, a self proclaimed “god of booze” who once drank all the colours of WKD in one pint glass claims, “I was out on the town when my mates asked me if I was going to take some ecstasy pill tablets with them, so I thought why not?”
“It was my first time taking pills and I found the whole thing a bit confusing,” explained Arthur. “Firstly one of my mates starts acting a bit shifty, rummaging in his condom pocket for something. Then, without making eye contact with me he says, ‘here you go, have this, Gary’ and placed the pill in my hand.”
“I put the pill into my pocket, thanked him and then reminded him that my name was actually Arthur, not Gary.”
Arthur claims that after the pill-Gary confusion he kept the pill in his pocket to wait until his mates planned on taking theirs, “usually around the time when the support DJ finishes”.
“Later that night, as the support DJs set finished, everyone got out their ecstasy pill tablets,” continued Arthur. “We were all about to take them, when my mate nudged me and shouted over the music ‘Arthur, drop that pill lad.'”
“Without any thought I dropped the pill on the floor, and some guy in the crowd stood on it,” bemoaned Arthur. “All of my mates just stopped what they where doing and then my mate Kev just shouted ‘what are you doing you toilet?'”
“Having already been called Gary and now toilet, I was pretty pissed off at the situation and at my mate for telling me to ‘drop the pill,'” continued Arthur. “It was then that I found out that to “drop it” meant so take it. I felt like a right idiot, I shouldn’t have took things so literally.”
“After the whole fiasco, I went home and had a cannabis weed marijuana cigarette, and fell asleep,” concluded Arthur. “At least I’ll know next time that to drop it means to eat it in your mouth like a medicine sweet.”
