dragons for supper!~

snorlax

just thought id post up some pics i have of the parade i was in 2weeks ago (im doing another charity/ performing arts gig next friday and am hopefully going to meet Graham Norton!).

can you spot me? blue wkd and heineken sponsored our float, so we got lots of free beer for helping out (ill post up pics of next fri/ when iget a chance)

Kevin_rc_ie

cool

snorlax

can you spot me?

the float was amazing because we had smoke coming out through the nostrils and bubbles coming out through the bum. it got complicated though cos the float was too big for thee truck so the people at the back had to lift he tail up really high which looked kinda funny, like a dog or something... !:D

Kevin_rc_ie

you're in the red?

snorlax

no, secound from the head, with the runners and jeans!

Kevin_rc_ie

i should have known, that's your trademark!

snorlax

well id hardly be wearing the shiny/ silver/ black trousers, im not that brave..;)!

here's another pic!

snorlax

oh my god iv gotta massive headache (any cures?!), did another gig last night and free bar, jameson/ tiger beer/ the works, all completely free.....:(

This is my hangover cure: Well obviously drink lots of water, eat salty like a fry up or cheese on crackers, eat a banana or kiwi, have a cup of tea/coffee and take a paracetamol.
Replaces salts, fluid. Caffeine and paracetamol reduce headache: hangover gone!

snorlax

thanks Apex! im a bleedin' disgrace, i only had 3 drinks, the jamesons finished me off, i cant drink liquors at all ( or wine for that matter;)!).....i think im getting old and my liver can't take it anymore.........:(

but would salty food not dehydrate you further? i think id puck up if someone tried to get me to eat rashers at the mo..
my backs also killing me cos a friend tried to throw me right up into the air when trying to hug me and didnt really succeed...moral of the drinking most definetly mucks you up for the next day and is a hazard...!

Not technically. Thing about drinking is you lose a lot of sodium and potassium because you are peeing more, same way you lose water. You know that kind of hungover fatigue, slow reflexes and muscle weakness? That's a lot to do with lack of potassium salt. As long as you drink water when eating these salty things you'll be better off. You want to have an isotonic balance as opposed to a hypotonic. (I used to love LC food studies)

Dioralyte. That stuff tastes disgusting, but it is fantastic for those really toxic, dehydrated-so-much-i-feel-like-an-egyptian-mummy hangovers.

snorlax

whats Dioralyte Cuckoo?

cuckoo

Oral rehydration salts. It's sold over the counter in pharmacies, in little sachets. It's for dehydration after diarrehea or extended vomiting. I discovered the wonder that is it after a few doses of food poisoning, and always keep some in stock for the morning after a mega night out. There's also some stuff, think it's called something like 'get up and go' that you drink before you go to sleep - it's also got electrolytes and stuff in it so helps with the dehydration. They don't sober you up any faster, but just help with the after effects of indulgence.

I always find the worst part of hangovers is the dehydration, the horrible wilting feeling and the fuzzy head. It's even worse than the post drink flashbacks (i said that? did what?!?! omg...)

Yeah give it to me baby!


Lucozade is like god-juice when you're hungover..

snorlax

am just in! still alive thank god and my back dosn't hurt me anymore...:)! i'm still very sober,but i also i don't know how anyone could drink fizzy drinks after being out on the tear, would plain old water not suffice?!

i did something very naughty tonight btw, i took a semi-puff of a cigarette! i stink of it now, and i actually hate those darn things... :eek: !

i also may aswell tell you that some wine is reduced to clear in M&S grafton street (bottles for eur3.99-5.50, if anyone needs some for a party)

Loser.

For smoking that is, not the you-think-that's-naughty thing

Kevin_rc_ie

ok since everyone else is giving hang over cures, here's mine

1st drink a pint of water.
2nd eat a quarter pounder and chips or part of
3rd go to the loo when you get home
4th wake up the next morning, after 12 hours sleep and have sex
5th go back to bed
6th repeat part 4 and maybe part 1-3 but not at the same time

snorlax

that's not the worst part...we got attacked by a humongous moth last night and ...... no men to protect us either, only a broom... :eek:

something like this one!

Kevin_rc_ie

save only creatures from the class Aves but not the from the order lepidoptera?

the hypocrisy of it all.

snorlax

we didnt kill it but we just had to get it out of the room, the broom being the best solution!;)

claireoby

that pic of that moth is scary!!..yucky. :eek:

Kevin_rc_ie

it's actual size too.

Now I'm not going to sleep tonight. Thank you.

snorlax

there was another moth attack reported in AH, i think they'r taking over...:(!

we also made good use of the broom stick for playing the Limbo afterwards...

Kevin_rc_ie

i love limbo, but i'm not as good as that guy in temple bar dressed in leopard print.

i don't know why people find moths so creepy, is it because they get a bit disorientated in artificla light and go crashing about the place.

No, it's because they're furry.

Kevin_rc_ie

oh right.

snorlax

greetings from Edinburgh all! am enjoying pints of Guinness here for betwen 1.50-2eur (people love the Guinness and the Irish)! visited a torture museam the other day, not very pleasent what they used to do to people either. Visited Scotts monument today after it was suggested to me..

280windy steps, and not designed very well for tall irish girls, very disorienting actually, still a little woozzy...

I'm going into JS Science despite what Apex says.

sleepingbeauty

when do we find out about subjects for js guys (Im aiming this one at kev and apex....)? i know i should know but tbh i dont i heard something about them sending us out letters which i thought was kinda weird, but maybe thats right....

is astro phy really popular? i thought it was one of the less popular ones.....(it is astro phy ur planning on doing innit?)

sleepingbeauty

yeah its actually pretty popular this year. im not worried about getting a place, im sure ill be fine, i was just wondering really

cuckoo

I think there's a letter, sent out at the same time as the one that's sent to people that are doing supps that has the 'what's left over for JS' list.

I'm aiming for EP, so although i scrapped through i'm not worried, as there's been places left in experimental physics for supps ppl for the past three years.

sleepingbeauty

ok thanks cuckoo some of my friends were asking me about it, for some reason they thought i would know :eek:

i think its more the class rep thing, but lol didnt see that one coming :rolleyes:

cuckoo

From page 2 of the 'Sophister Choice' booklet:

"Students will be notified by post of their proposed offer of a JS place by end of July 2005".

We should all know soon then.

Wow, there's a lot of ppl heading into JS science on boards - Kev, Apex, Sleepingbeauty, myself - have i left anyone out?
