    Where are the pedants today? Come on, this thread is an hour old an no-one has pointed out that 'not feeling knackered' is the same as feeling sprightly.

    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      As usual there were a couple of things that could have been pointed out. I guess it must be down to tiredness.
      Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

            It's that English language again. Pretty much anything written can be interpreted anyway you like, even the polar oppoiste of what was meant.

            "not feeling knackered" could include everything unrelated to the feeling of knackeredness.

              OP - try this:

              Cut down drinking as much as possible, especially during the week.

              Cut down on wheat intake for a while (as already suggested above).

              Cut down on seeing your friend Master Bates, at least for a while.

              And as for work, relax, get some sleep and don't force yourself up in the morning every day - so what if you go in late now and again?

                As a pirate or a Somerset farmer? Less 'R's for the farmer.

                The pronunciation is different too, a pirate would accentuate the R's whilst the farmer the 'A'. Both use inflection on the R's indicating good/bad/indifferent.

                  Well, MF does profess to being a "septic"...
