Normally I'd advise as much sleep as possible but if you don't have that option take four painkillers (your choice, the stronger the better in my opinion), wash down with a quadruple Kahlua topped up with milk in a pint glass. Down in one. Followed by a toasted bacon, cheese and tomato sandwich smothered in Sriracha hot chilli sauce. A jug of fresh coffee and some fresh orange juice. Take a long hot shower and you're ready to go again. The fresh air that hits as you leave the front door will also be beneficial to your sense of well being.


If travelling on public transport try not to engage with anyone. Do not make eye contact. They mean you harm. Wear shades. At work, keep your head down and get on with it. Oh, and take your shades off. You'll look a prat.

Water, painkillers/alka seltzer, a banana, 2 cups of tea. I'm normally a keen coffee drinker - 3 espressos to get me out the door in the morning, but I can't touch the stuff when hungover.


And a second sleep is absolutely vital, otherwise try to eat something with a bit of fat & carb - Jah's toastie and Sriracha is a great idea.

After big beers I neck 3x pints of water before crashing out, it's a ritual.

Take another pint of water to bed.

You get up to pee a bit.

Next morning plenty tea and full breakfast local cafe which is a sort of watershed - either I can face the day after that or it's back to bed, but I have to force it either way so I know where it is.

And there in lies the problem. Everyone is different, and a lot of the things suggested on here would make me instantly feel sick.

I KNOW!!


I reckon it defo had some illicit substance in it as it was magical how it worked so well.


No explanation. Just taken off the shelves.


You sometimes find a packet in independent stores. I found my stash in the 24/7 on Bellenden. I've been offered good money for it.

    • 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.
