Ah excellent!!Originally posted by swamp View PostBanana gives you energy.
I read once that eating breakfast was worth 3% on a morning exam. An interview is just an exam of sorts, and maintaining your energy level is crucial.
With everything I plan to eat on the train, I should be a shoe in then!

Ha ha - yesOriginally posted by Sysman View PostDo you use your car as an extension of your handbag too? I have observed that a lot of ladies do.
My boot has a "gym bag" in it, full of every toiletry I could ever need.
And I have purfume and sun tan lotion in my glove compartment

Not quite, but nearly, and a number of times.Originally posted by SallyAnne View PostYou shat yourself from eating too many bananas?!!
It was eight very ripe bananas. I had come back from holiday and there were 3 still on my desk from before I went away, completely black. While scoffing them a colleague came in and asked if I liked them like that. I said I did so he gave me the 5 that were in his office's communal fruit bowl.
My normal journey home involved a black cab, then a train, then a lift in the car. About 90 minutes. That day it took me most of the evening; I had to use every pub and public loo on the way.
I started with the loo at my end of the corridor on the 8th floor. Then the one at the other end of the corridor. Then the one on the ground floor. Then the one at Reception at the other end of the building. Then the one in the pub across the road. Then the one in the pub at the end of the road. Then leap out of a taxi to use one in a pub on the way and more than once too. Then Euston until it was time for my train to leave. Then sat on the loo on the train all the way (a hideous experience), then the home station, then the Missus drove like a bat out of hell to get me home.
Although I am sure I experienced a few other loos on the way.
Talk about arse gravy. It would have passed through blotting paper.

Best dump story of the week!
I think it depends on the ripeness; unripe or just yellow bananas can give you constipation but very ripe or over ripe ones give you diarrhoea.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
