...and to you and the team Eddie. I'm looking forward to it already.
Only 364 days to go...
"pseudoscholarship" Wonderful word, from an interesting article! Anyway, I really am determined to work "that" word into a letter or email today.
Ayway, if the expectation stated in the final paragraph of the following article were to materialise..? Well, I suspect seeing Holy Smoke would be the least of our problems...
"The Guardian and Radio 4 team up for a gruesome study of the Virgin Birth"
For those "suffering" celebration excesses this morning, on the iPM Blog, the ever helpful Chris Vallance has detailed where pain-killers might be found.
And, to save time this article might save some, time and money:
Happy New Year everyone. There are some plusses for not celebrating N.Y. When you arise everyone elses curtains are still drawn and you have no regrets about the excesses of the night before. However, it would have been preferable to being in bed with 'flu. Still there's always next year - God willing.
Piper @ 4, I once went to a talk being given by a biochemist who'd made a bit of a study of hangovers (can't think why, he only got drunk once during the weekend conference) and the effect of booze on the human being in general. He said in effect 'There is no cure for a hangover', but offered a few tips for things that may make it less severe. One is 'whether you want to or not drink about a pint of water before passing out; it will help against the dehydration.' Another was 'That old hair-of-the-dog thing does work for extreme overindulgence, because after a while your liver gets fed up with working at full revs and slows down while you still have alcohol in the system; giving it a very small amount of fresh alcohol kicks it back to work by making it start all over again.' And a third was 'for breakfast, marmite and brown toast washed down with orange juice helps a bit, because it contains the right vitimins. You'll still feel godawful, but you probably won't be sick.'
There was a lot of other very complicated stuff about metabolic rates and whatall else, but those three things might be some use to someone somewhere some time. :-)
