Oh fekk, did I have an overhang on Friday morning


A handful of Ibruprofen/paracetamol with half and half flat water/san pellegrino, got me through the first bit


However, halfway during a rather full on meeting I thought I was going to keel over


Nailed it at lunch with a bowl of Pho


Finally nailed it with the 'hair of the dog' later that evening


Irn Bru aside, is there actually a cure tho ?

Actually I think Loz has got the best hangover cure solution! Irn bru still counts tho.


Hope all your old-fashioned hangovers have disappeared by now.


Four pounds I can't believe you made it to soft play with the kids. Willing to have an argument with you about this.


KK I don't think you can get a cure for that :p


Netts dear we missed you and your posh frock. Pho. Like your thinking. Extra chilli.

'The Fear'???


Do elaborate.

Basically a pervasive sense of your own mortality, usually coupled with the heebie jeebies (non specific paranoia and a sense of just missing things at the edges of your vision).


Apparently something to do with the low blood sugar, common or garden sleep deprivation and that alcohol can cause acute depression like symptoms in some chunk of your brain or other.


It's insidious and generally will last all day, long after the more physical symptoms have gone. Sleep is the only cure, though a modest hair of the dog can help alleviate it.


I'll usually get it if there has been more than one session within a few days, a 'compound hangover' if you will.

In this case I've had a couple of leaving drinks with different friends during the week and a fairly hefty one with my brother.


Add to that stress from moving and my little one had an operation a week ago and I'm vaguely amazed I haven't fallen apart at the seams.

I usually drink masses of water. Seems to do the trick, usually feel a bit better within 30 mins.


(Although if you have it san pelligrino seems to feel like its putting little bubbles of energy back into your system, its probably not, but it helps tingle the taste buds back into action).

Yep, necking a load of water before bed is the best way, but usually I can't be arsed and just dive in to oblivion.


I too get The Fear quite badly. Not as badly as I used to though, a few years back I'd be texting all my mates to make sure I hadn't upset anyone, and then get more worried when they didn't respond.


Of course they were all in bed hungover and ignoring their phones, but I never found that out until the following day.

In my pre-UK mad 20's I used to stumble to the bakery round the corner. A chicken and apricot pie and a cream filled iced bun, washed down with a full fat coke, hangover sorted. Other sure fire winner was KFC potato and gravy, sadly not available in this country.


And I wonder why I was fat...

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
