i had to be up early once for a conference, never went to sleep as had to be up at 4am, got to 2am couldn't sleep so thought **** it no point now, not sure if i missed anything important at conference as i was drifting in and out of dopiness lol. its weird when you have to e up early, its like your brain goes into overdrive and you try and force yourself to sleep, yet come weekend and i know there is no urgency to get up, i am normally asleep quite early ie def by 11pm, fecking light weight lol.
I once did a two day conference at Nottm University where we were supplied onsight accommodation for the night with a free cooked breakfast and I knew nearly everyone there. We were in the onsite pub until about 2am and the second day (breakfast) started at 6am. Fair to say, most were like zombies on the second day. I remember looking around and half were asleep in their chair

It's NOT a ****ing Bosch She bottled it. Saved a paltry £60 and bought some ****. I don't even know what make it is. It'll probably last until the warranty's up and then ****ing fall apart
No. She told me. That's her department and it was her money, so she's paid it and taken her chance. Can't wait for "I told you so".
Don't agree that much on Jack LaLanne, despite him being American grin, but can see your point with the others. If women are always right then why are men constantly telling them "I told you so!" #notreallyrightatall
I do, because when it breaks, she'll have frittered her inheritance away and I'll have to but the proper (and more expensive) one
