I'm a bit like that mate, it works to get me to sleep but the sleep part is actually redundant. For that reason I don't bother any more but I'm fortunate enough to be able to sleep naturally, which a lot of people can't do.
I'm no doctor mate, I don't know what side effects your prescriptions are giving you so it's pointless making comparisons, but I'd bet the only reason you can't sleep is because your mind is in overdrive constantly. No human can be relaxed and active at the same time, so by default the body has to just do as the mind (the active part) wants, until the mind is controlled (that's how the booze gets you off). I had it the same when I was anxious all the time, every now and again the body seemed to be able to say '**** you I'm going to sleep' to the mind and it was bliss.
Trifle's require the alcohol to be burnt off too, If you're getting pissed off a trifle then it's been made wrong, all alcohol should either be cooked off either before, during or as it's served otherwise it's just food badly made.
You're also likely to be an incredibly bulbous looking individual aka a hungryass motherfucker! Never made one bud, I do like a good trifle though!
Can't stand them, it's the soggy biscuit at the bottom. But you're supposed to ignite your sherry or whatever you're using before you add it. I'm a hungry ass motherfucker, but not for trifles.
soggy biscuit, you mean them ladyfinger things? yeah they're not for eating man, that ****'s just weird. I don't really like fruit in them either I'm just into the custard and cream bit at the top. If you was in my ****-clean diet shoes though you'd understand, I'd happily eat a soggy ladyfinger for a bit of variation, I'd also happily finger a soggy lady, just in case any birds are reading this and hoped I'd said that, then got slightly disappointed when they re-read it.
Yep that's the stuff, but can get past it in a tiramisu if the sponge **** is soaked in tia maria though. Alcohol cooked off obviously.
http://homecooking.about.com/library/archive/blalcohol12.htm Chart on that link for how much alcohol is retained while cooking. I doubt any establishment cooks many things for 2 hours 30 minutes but even then its still 5% that's retained, and on a zero tolerance even that will be too much.
I dunno mate, I've had a few kebabs from town that taste like they've been cooked for a month. Interesting to see, would seem that the 'zero-tolerance' drink drive limit would be bound to fail. Although the worst drivers on the road for me are the ones who simply cannot drive, no matter how sober they are. The Jewish blokes in massive hats, the arabs in Burqas, the chavs sat way too low to see over the steering wheel, the grannies and grandads who can't control their bladders let alone the car, the make-up applying mini-driving sluts who are oblivious to road etiquette. These lot need sorting out as well, instant lifetime bans would suffice.
