There once was a woman from Durbar,
Who claimed that no man could curb her,
Till a man from Khartoum
Knocked the top off her womb
Will a 15 inch kidney disturber.
Re: booze the following day. I said the same things for years, preferring to sweat it out but a fellow dr persuaded me to try it. Never looked back. You've got to fight fire with fire. Not necessary all the time but after a big one you can't crash land, you've got to bring it down gently.
I am a doctor and over the years have developed an effective hangover management system.
A hangover is combination of 3 things: dehydration, hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar caused by the alcohol) and alcohol withdrawal. Understand this and you know how best to handle it. Try this out next time...
Holiday reads: Papillion, Cloud Atlas, Azincourt, The Godfather
Also recommend anything by John Wyndham, Kurt Vonnegut, John Steinbeck.
Best book ever: The grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
Not an owner, no. But I am a dog lover and we always had dogs growing up. Now I'm a dad with young kids I object to (the minority) of dog owners who let their dogs run riot in small parks scaring small children and letting them crap everywhere without clearing it up.
All dogs should be DNA'd and registered on a database (costs about £120 and could be paid for by dog licence fee) Any dog turds found in public area like parks, streets and beaches could be analysed and the offending dog and registered owner identified. Someone then goes round and slaps them...
Anyone needing a bit or running motivation, try Zombies! Run or Run! Zombies app (something like that). headphones on plus bit of imagination - you're runner 5 in some post apocalyptic/zombie landscape, there's a commentator relaying the story inter spliced with tunes from your own iTunes...
A grey area. Perhaps sports make you breathless and games don't? (breathless through significant physical exertion whilst in reasonable physical shape, not from years of alcoholism and cigarette smoking as in the case of most darts players)
There's one easy way to distinguish between a sport and a game: If you can do something while smoking it's not a sport. Therefore darts, snooker and ten pin bowling are not sports, they're games.
