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...

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
