Channel 4 Chief Correspondent Gets Pissed On Free Wine And Tweets It All

Channel 4 Chief Correspondent Gets Pissed On Free Wine And Tweets It All

"Wil din Virgin for letting me full this ip with wine dog."

When you see someone who's usually extremely prim and proper getting into an unusual situation where they go streaking or puke up outside Wetherspoons, it kind of makes your day.

You're probably thinking of an example right now. Maybe your mum twerked at a summer BBQ? Actually, that image is absolutely not one that you need.

Anyway, this Channel 4 chief correspondent, Alex Thomson, got some free wine and had access to his Twitter account. I'm sure you can already see where this is going. Or did the headline give it away?

Our hero, Alex, was travelling to Glasgow on a Virgin east coast service when he was hit with some serious delays.

As a gesture of goodwill, Virgin started handing out free wine. I imagine this was just for first-class passengers as I have never, ever, ever received free wine for my train being late.

Alex went on a Kanye-esque outburst with his tweets.

I can just imagine someone sat next to him saying: 'Now, come on Alex. Stop Tweeting. You've had a lot to drink,' and Alex turning around with his tie round his head and red wine all down his once-pristine white shirt, screaming: 'DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM, IDGAF WHAT MY FOLLOWERS THINK. THIS IS ME. THE REAL ME.'

I choose to believe that image.

Anyway, check them out, they're hilarious...
















And at that point, it was radio silence. I can't really decide which tweet is my favourite. The one where he just wrote 'wine' or the one with 'shout shoutyness'.

If you're wondering how he is, he tweeted the next morning...

He seems okay! Albeit a tad hungover.

So I'm just going to say it. Alex Thomson is a lad.

Mate, if you're ever in Manchester - give TheLADbible a ring. We want to have a pint with you.
