I was just taking the proverbial wee wee.


Mines a JD please.

Where would one buy such a thing as a rehydration drink?


Can you put vodka in them?

I have tried the re-hydration solution we were shown as kids as an emergency treatment in case we were stranded somewhere and were struck down with diarrhea or food poisoning. (Why they taught us this stuff I have no idea) It is a spoonful of salt and a spoonful of sugar in a pint of water.


Anyway the old hungover brain has in the past gone through the thought process of. ?I?m horribly dehydrated, let me try that magic solution they showed us at school.?


Problem is it tastes foul and makes me want to vomit which kinda defeats the object.

All my grandparents lived well into their 90?s and my dad is currently pushing 80 with absolutely no sign of slowing down so I think the benchmark should be at least 4 score and ten.

I will therefore refrain from thinking of myself as middle aged until I am at least 45 and/or I have children who are old enough to be embarrassed of me.

I get the blackcurrant one. It's not nice by any stretch, but you casn keep it down.


Once or twice I have done a pre-emptive strike and taken one before bed, and woken up feeling right as rain, but usually I don't have the wits about me for all that, and just pass out.

When I lived in NZ a McD's cheeseburger and banana milkshake on the walk home used to sort me out. And then McD's for breakfast - "hot cakes and syrup"... a delicacy I don't think they offer in the UK, followed by a hash brown & hot chocolate. I was a really healthy specimen back then!

It really works though, its magic stuff!


I was dubious when my friend told me of its powers - she had been given it by an airport pharmacist and claimed she was right as rain in an hour. We were both suffering on the day I tried the remedy (to the point we had to send a cab to the airport to collect another friend since there was no way either of us could contemplate driving!) We had to share a sachet as that was all that was left and we were in Sweden at the time where it is not available to buy. Half a sachet and Pirates of the Carribean was all it took for a full recovery!


I always keep a box in the house now :-) DOnt think Resolve works the same way as Resolve Extra though!

Hope it works Anna.


I have purchased me some of the aforementioned Resolve Extra and the aforementioned rehydration salts. All ready for the weekend. I?m never normally this prepared for anything in my life. :-S


And now it looks like Saturday may be cancelled anyway.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
