 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Got invited to the launch party for the project I worked on at my previous contract last night in Brizzle. It was good fun, really enjoyed seeing the people I used to work with, they're a great crowd. S****y 20's themed do at the museum, wine, bubbly and G&Ts were flowing.
Theat wound up at midnight, so we were on to, well, Christ knows, somewhere near there, in a basement, that was open. More, many more, G&Ts
The conclusion of the evening was me, walking (wobbling) up Whiteladies Road back to the hotel, with a kebab. At 4am...
I think I'm dying.
have a beer.
it was probably the Kebab, right?
Have another kebab ya'lightweight.
Isn't this why electrolyte drinks were invented? Sod sports recovery its all to aid hangovers. That and fry ups.
Jason's Doner Van?
fry-up and then intervals later on
To be honest, I binned most of the kebab. As soon as I started eating it I thought "I don't even want this".
Thank god I wangled 'working' from home today...
I think this is what's known as a humblebrag. 🙂
Hydrate or die.
Fresh orange juice watered down, between 5 and 10 to 1.
Pinch of salt.
Torq is for hangovers
Last time I went out on a work social bender in Cambridge, I had the foresight to leave a water bottle beside my bed with an electrolyte tablet (Nuun type thing) in it.
Drank most of that and [s]wet the bed[/s] woke up with barely a hangover.
Alka Seltzer are good for a rough morning pick-me-up. Accompanied by a large buffet breakfast, preferably.
Not old enough to know when to stop drinking though?

With what's been going on in Bristol lately...... you may not have been far off 😯

Oh, I know when to stop drinking. Whether I [I]actually[/I] stop drinking at that point is a different matter.
Just found some rehydration tablets that came as a freebie from some event in the cupboard. Best before the end of March apparently, so we'll see how true that is.
Duvet day - bring it on.

What sort of event were you having in a cupboard?

Thats poor form... I've no sympathy
Out with the boys. In with the men.
MTFU... 😈

I think it was RideLondon100. It's a big cupboard.
Hair of the dog and a movie.
Gin is pure evil. Have you not seen those horrific depictions of Olde Time Gin houses?
Is this an image from last night?

If you realized that the kebab was a bad idea then you weren't nearly as smashed as you are claiming.

Could be, the chap bottom right is pretty much me today...
Sound like a job for an emergency case of Bru 🙂
Have a sherry, you'll be right.
I know where you're coming from. However, if you can type that many words before midday then you're not ruined enough!
Here is my favourite article on how to deal with the effects of a hangover, both physical and metaphysical...

This thread is just more fake news...
tell me more about these
rehydration tablets
When this happens, you are faced with only 2 options.
Option 1:

But with a bucket of full fat coke. An overload of sugar, salt and saturated fats. But you've missed your window on that one, I'm afraid. Which only leaves...
Option 2:[img]

Its a nice day. Go and sit in a beer garden and drink strong continental lager. Maybe shout at some buses, or start an argument and have a scuffle with a passer by
You'll feel better for it
You're welcome 😀
I went for Option 3 Binners:

And my boss has just rung me and it seems I have some actual work that needs to be done. Curses...
A wise choice! 😀
And does your boss know it's Friday afternoon? I'd be having a word
Out with the boys. In with the men.
I work with people who say this. Those who aren't being ironic are unanimously tossers of the highest order. Unless it's some sort of gaybrag.
But mcdonalds breakfast is only until 10:30 and if you can get out of bed and to mccdonalds before then, you are not really hungover.
A can of full fat coke and a couple of nurofen and you should be ready for a beer by lunchtime 😉
Caffeinated hydration drink (cola flavour preferred), something with eggs, normally an omlette with some bacon and some toast, and an espresso for breakfast.
Lunch is greasy chicken, KFC or the like. Chips, full fat coke, maybe a sugary dessert.
Mid afternoon, time to get back on the horse. Beer, mid strength, cold and fairly innocuous, Corona is the favourite. Couple of them and I'm back in the game.
This was me Saturday night...
Horribly drunk threw up in my mates sink and slept on his sofa (next to my mate) it was like being 17 again... Except the following day was much much worse than when I was 17.
I actually pulled as well but had a [s] few[/s] lot to many and [s]physically couldn't handle it [/s]had to politely declined the offer
Smash a whisky and an espresso and then go to work.
Amateurs.
Became pretty bloody good at working with horrendous hangovers with my time in the RAF.
Setting alarms when getting in, realising you've only got 2 hours before its breakfast time and another 12 hour shift is horrible. Big greasy breakfast, bucket of strong tea. Keep busy for a few hours, loads of water, nap. Then plan that evenings drinking in the afternoon. And repeat for 4 months. Needed a break after that one particular trip away.
Was out on Sunday night for 5 hours, stumbled home about 01:00, hammered.
Monday morning, bit of a headache, bit of a lurchy stomach. Thought I could veg it out. Nope, mid morning, hello RALPH.
Didn't eat anything until a cheese scone around 15:00. Still didn't feel 100% on Tuesday morning.
As the OP said
Im too old for this shit
Im 45.
Spliff and Bloody Mary.
MTFU
Trying to work out which club you were in - was it Doghouse?
I just did four days of free booze, 09:30 to 00:00/01:00/02:00/04:00.
Admittedly on the fifth day I collapsed with severe and acute chest pains, but I put that down to lack of practice.
Oop! 15mins to happy hour. TAXI! 😀

And lo, it does!
Looking at that Hogarth engraving, I didn't know he'd been hanging around the Llandogger Trow in That There Brissle?
This would never have happened if you'd stayed in Whaley Bridge. 😉
