Hangover club

Are you in work now?

How was last night? Was it a late one? Any excitment?

You need the obvious, very strong coffee, coke, lard and crisps with a larger shandy at lunch time.

Phew, you need some mints to start with, I can smell the toxic breath from here m'dear ?

4.30ish. Becoming the norm.

I stink of drink, apparently. And my eyes are very red.

4:30?? Yikes. You're doing well to be up and about.

along with the list above you need extra strong mouth wash. I think you need to go on a supplies trip.

How do you manage it? I would be asleep on my desk right now! I think you need some full fat coke, lard and of course a hair of the dog, olus some eyedrops, do you have them? ?

Poor Chook. I can't really suggest anything new. Keep away from people if you can and keep focused on something so you don't think about being hungover. Phoning people helps - I have a boss that will spend the day on the phone after a big night out because it keeps him awake!

I'll be fine soon I'm sure. It's just the trying to be sober until then that's a struggle. My cab last night tried to charge me £78. I think he thought he saw me coming. I gave him £30.

Do you have any dealings with external clients today or is it just internal stuff? If so, I'm sure your colleagues will be in a similar boat, so just keep your head down and go for the sympathy vote if challenged. I sometimes think that staying slightly tipsy is the way to go, if you can get away with it. Heaven forbid you sober up and start spewing. Get some berocca, ginseng and toast to pep you up and get out for a lunchtime beer. Nae bother dollface. ?

I am doing not too badly considering yesterday's mulled wine binge, which was followed by more mulled wine at winterfest (managed to avoid ice-skating and just watch some bands instead), dinner with my father (curry, copious red wine and a silly amount of lagavulin) and then, bizarrely, some cava in teh pub when I went to watch my mate DJ. Cava on a full stomach before bed = staying up half the night groaing and watching Animal Planet. (I would like a baby monkey and a badger for Christmas please Santa).

Good girl/ boy- you are showing the full spirit of Christmas and I am very proud of you!

I almost miss hungover at work days, there is a huge feeling of pride when you reach the end of the day without passing out/ throwing up over your desk (in the toilet is fine) being sacked.

Eat lots and drink lots of coke.

(Was it last Christmas, your thread like this turned into offering you advice as people thought you were an alcoholic?)

Oh yes, Penny Lane (who's busy working) saying "It's not big or clever" ??

? I don't know when that was. My drunkeness is for life, not just for Christmas.

I know I got some good advice on that thread and it was all well meant etc but it was pretty funny.

I remember that! It will be fine, just keep your head down (but don't fall asleep!)

Derailing a bit, but HH - I have sent the CD off today, just thought id let you know its Radio 1 Live Lounge 3. Is this the correct one?

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

Wasn't she one of the ones who told me off for being mean to teenagers too?

No external people Lou, luckily.

You're nothing but a mean drunk, Chook. ?

Whatever happened to Penny Lane? Was she one of the ones who disappeared with madame jodie and that twistedonwine mentalist after Gliderexposuregate?

Yes. she was mates with Madame Jodie ?

LM, you're an absolutely sweetheart. Thank you! ?

I think she was wasn't she? Does she still post on here? Haven't *seen* her around for a while..

Edited to add, no worries HH, enjoy!

? I try to keep my nose out of scraps but I have had a fair few.

It's OK though, you know you can always call on me for backup.

? Hello please may I join? Me is at me desk, but nothings gonna happen lol. Too much gin, but then OH's ex was hitting on him I think...... She's definitely being far too nice, I am suspicious.....

Stab her in the eye with a compass (the pointy trigonometry kind, not the hillwalking kind because that would be useless). (not really) ?

You could maybe send round chicken to kick her, once he sobers up.

Trouble is, she's being super nice and letting him see his daughter, and then texting him with how much she regrets splitting up with him, meh, she's also insane, so there you go lol. You could use a walking compass, if it were big enough it would leave one hell of a bruise.......

Arghh. <runs away screaming 'I was joking'> ?

That's out of order- I mean, you're entitled to let somebody know how you feel, but the fact that it seems to be linked to access visits seems to add a degree of conditionality to these visits. Maybe you should stab her in the eye after all. ?

I'm jealous of your at-work-pissedness. Honestly. We have our work do this afternoon and everyone is driving, because we work in the middle of fecking nowhere and no-one could agree on someone decent (i.e. near where I live) to hold it. Hence it's going to be a dismal lunch affair with sparkling water. Very festive, hmph.

Mind you, I'm even staying in tonight because I have to get up early tomorrow and do my Christmas shopping. Am I mad? The correct actions here would surely to go out, get trashed, and then buy everyone a magazine for Christmas from the One Stop next door.

I know you was joking lol, my condition has me slightly out of kilter, thank goodness for half days lol.

This lass is incredibly classy, he can only see her on condition of money (he never refused, but she called in the CSA anyway, all he wanted was his name on the BC, or some other recognition the bairn was actually his) and her hitting on him. It'll go the same way as it always does, when she realises she's on a hiding to nothing, he can kiss goodbye to his daughter...... At least now it's out in the open that he's the dad, before this he could only see the bairn by sneaking around so the ex's mum didn't find out. nEedless to stay he's never had her overnight!

We ended up in Reflex. I keep hearing 'yes sir, I can boogie' in my head.

I can boogie, boogie boogie, all night looooong.

Now it's in my head......
