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.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.

      We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]

      I want to try that and also the granary loaf. Used to get a good granary loaf from the bakery that was in Herne Hill a long time ago.  Think they are somewhere In the vicinity of Coulsdon now. They used to make the hamburger buns for the Meatwagon/Meatliquor people.
