"He" does not live in a Labour constituency, so my voting Labour will actually have no affect on the political map.
I wasn't asking to be healthy, just to stay awake long enough to get through the day. Do you have any rum remedies, CP?

A whole pack of Ex-lax. Might not cure your drowsiness but you sure aren't going to let your eyes close when a potential bowel explosion is close at hand...

Amphetamine Sulphate it is then. Should make for an interesting project review meeting at 11.00. With any luck, I should get it wrapped up by 11:01.
Just tried the power nap option in trap 2. It wasn't very comfortable and way too smelly. Got a little worried when the bloke in trap one sat down and it sounded like the Niagra Falls was coming out of his @rse. Felt like shouting out "Dodgy curry?", but decided "Release the seals" was more diplomatic.

No, definitely not at the same time!Originally posted by FlubsterIs it worth doing this at the same time as No 2s? I fear if I did this now, I wouldn't wake up for a good couple of hours.
Don't worry, your subconcious will wake you up after 5 to 15 minutes, and you won't feel sleepy afterwards.
Tried and trusted from the old days at GEC.
