    You don't need to sit down and eat a huge breakfast. That's just a myth put about by cereal manufacturers.

    I just have a cup of instant coffee and grab a banana on the way out - After all, you only have to wait three hours or so until lunch time.

      What Coffee are you drinking

      I used to have occasional problems with feeling tired on the commute home.

      Eventually worked out that the large latte I'd have some afternoons actually made me more sleepy than awake.

        I only ever have an americano or something plain, I don't like all these milk based drinks masquerading as coffee. I'm not any coffee expert, and I'd rather not have more than one per day as it makes me a bit mental.

          Hair is a useless waste of time since the invention of the woolly hat. Just cut it so short it can't get messy and rinse your head in the mornings. Saves on shampoo too!

            I've cut out coffee at work altogether.

            Makes me feel a lot better.

            Green tea is sh!te, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

              Oh come on, is no-one going to bite on that one?

                    You should be a life coach. I'm not sure the skinhead look would suit me Mich.

                    What's the sock tip? Not that I wear them to work, like.
