    Cheers man. I've had myself a German hefe weissbier now being followed in the interests of balance, not that I 'work' for the BBC, by a Shepherd Neame Spitfire 😉


    (but lychee syrup...?)

    Shepherd Neame used to do some good ads for Spitfire.

    I’m out of most things drinkable so I’m experimenting with some Jack Daniels and Lychee liqueur for a bit of sweetness. Surprisingly it’s not very nice.
    Bleeutgh. Jack Daniels is fine straight from the bottle. Whilst wearing a top hat and having a ciggie hanging out the corner of your mouth, preferably with a raddled crack hooer on your arm. Think Slash from Guns and Roses circa 1988.

    This Wednesday's child is full of aches. Long and hard work day, physical stuff see, all you desk jockeys...

    I see your point, but being a middle man between German advisors and Japanese business guys, with the complexity and nuance of German tax law, and the Japanese hierarchy, and endless repetition of the same questions, makes for the brain to ache, and for the advisor's fees to be high. Not my cost centre, but if they'd just let go, we could deal with it.

    Cut out the middle man and tell them to deal direct, they should get on just fine. As long as nobody mentions Ze Var...
    If I wasn't the middle man, the advisors would, and do, take the absolute piss.

  • It's still technically Wednesday if you haven't managed to get to bed yet, innit?
    What a grueller of a day, then the OH asks if I can pick her up from work at midnight.
    Is it really only 4.5 hours until the alarm clock goes off and I start again?
    I'm starting to think she's trying to bump me off :lol:

    Its only cheating if you start a daily thread in the early hours before you've gone to bed. Mind you, some forumites get up so bloody early there's not a lot of difference...

    Suspect she's trying to give you an idea of how she feels when she does a grueller.

    Oh, I know that already.
    She never has a problem letting me know.
    Ever :lol:

    CB How tf do you work hard all day then be up most of the night with next to no sleep then carry on as usual? Are you on some Naughty Bertie C type enhancing substances? I'm still knackered after yesterday's hard day then today's only 1/2 as bad one. I could do with a booster!

    Call me naive but I haven't got a clue what Bertie C is, although thinking about it I could probably guess :lol:
    If I'm really bushed the OH has concoctions that will see me right, but tbh I shy away from any legal/illegal stimulants.
    The key for me is good sleep when I can and catnaps when I can't, plus daily exercise to release the endorphins. Both the OH and I are surviving on approx 5 hours sleep a day/night presently, usually about 4 hours straight and another hour of mini sleeps. Both of us have been doing it for years, the body does adapt over time.
    Is it good for us long-term? Probably not, but with C-19 cases rising for the OH and online shopping deliveries going through the roof for me we have little choice but to get on with it.
    I can sleep as long as I want when I'm dead!

    I thought that passing out after 2 gallons of scrumpy counted as going to bed?

    Is this that go anywhere from a start point for 24h with your very much fitter than you mate who probably hasn't got a back problem?

    Good luck BTW.
