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...

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
