A whitey is, in fact, an overdose of cannabis, leading to a pale complexion, mild sweating, inability to construct stable mental thoughts, slight paranoia and full body lethargy, usually brought about after I've told mrs beef 'half a cookie dear, half a cookie' and she scoffs four of the fuggers cos they're sooooo delicious. And overdose of caffeine, can result in similar symptoms, sweating and palpitations, mental confusion, mania, but I'm not sure if it has a common slang term yet. Too much coffee man? Write a comic book about it.

BBW - Carlsberg Special Brew, breakfast of champions - I think the only time I could get away with that was in the late 1980s at university - the only time in your life when you can do pretty much what you want for 3 years, and get away with it, drink and party in the day and get away with it and as long as you passed the exams, noone cared. Great days.


But the "breakfast of champions" line made me laugh.

Rosie, sorry I missed your hour of need. For future reference the antidote to too much coffee is non-caffinated fluids, carbs and waiting for it to wear off.

Caffeine is a diuretic and stimulates insulin production, so part of the tremulous sick feeling is dehydration and low blood sugar. The rest is just the direct action of the caffeine and has to wear off.

Moos, the tweet that said:


"2 large coffees without assaying strength. pale, dizzy, nauseous, intermittent sweats, tremor, the works. arse fine thus far."


Two peas in a pod. You're right, Rosie Goldacre - I like it!


Quids, to me a whitey was always a cannabis thing too (although there was never actual vomit) - it's just that my symptoms were comparable to bona fide old skool whiteys and that given that I'd only had coffee and cola, it took me rather by surprise.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
