Is wonderful stuff.

Is this the first posting to the forum from the bar at Geneva airport by the way?

    Hah - I wish! I work in the software industry with rail/road related products and as, in theory, I could be called into a depot/workshop at any time (it's yet to happen!!!) we have a zero tolerance policy re alcohol! Still, it means I stay awake all afternoon - other sites with drinking cultures often led to less than perfect code being written between the hours of 2:00pm and 5:15pm!

    beer at lunchtime makes me sleepy

    I've got the afternoon off tomorrow so it will be a rare opportunity for a lunch time pint. The problem will be that I'll probably fall asleep if I don't keep busy later on.

    I was also considering going for a cheeky pint or two tomorrow, but have since been invited for an ominous sonuding "little chat" in the afternoon with the director of studies and I think that turning up smelling of beer would be, er, what's the negative equivalent of "the icing on the cake"? :(

    In answer to y own post; "the nail in the coffin"
    However there is also the expression, "In for a penny, in for a pound". Hmmm, decisions... To beer or not to beer?

    That's the spirit! Aim for three pints in an hour to add a slight 'floaty' feeling to the afternoon... Be careful though, alcohol can be a bit moreish. :wink:

    Well, I'm in Val D'Isere now and managed to avoid lunchtime drinking today. God only knows why - I'm on holiday! I'll try harder tomorrow..
