72 shooters? Surely I jest...
on: October 16, 2003, 05:57:15 am
OK, just in case any one was worried that I'd died I thought I'd relate to you the events of Tuesday night. I got obscenely drunk and tipped a pint of water in to the open side of my tower. The computer will not now switch on, so methinks I'm looking at a new mobo or summat... so there you go. Hopefully I'll be back up in a few days...

Oh, and prior to breaking the computer I got rugby tackled on to the edge of the bottom stair, and now my back's so FUBARed that I'm off work. Thus how I'm going to pay for these replacement bits is beyond me...

Now, who's comming to the pub?

this reminds me of a rather dirty joke, select to view:

Spoiler:

a guy walks up to his boss, and complains about a sore back. the boss replies: "if i ever have back problems, i let my wife give me a good blowjob, and it will all be over in notime."

the next day, the guy goes back to his boss. the boss asks:
"did it help?"
"no, but i sure like the way you live!"

now, if you'll pour hot black coffee on it, it'll be alright once it's sobered up:p

I suppose I shouldn't hide this from you guys anymore. I wouldn't wish what just happened to you on my worst enemy. :nod:

I'm suprised no-one else has brought this up but in my book, obscenely drunk does not make me jump for joy at pouring water into an electrical device, let alone my beloved computer.

It was that Davey boy wasn't it. are you being bullied in school. If so tell me or I shall have to come to the school myself and neither of us want that let me assure you.

I'm still shocked about that having a pint of water when you're obscenely drunk.

Its quite odd that I was drinking on Tuesday night. I do not remember anything of vivid detail, but I know Wednesday morning in the uni office was not fun. :nervous:

Yup...apparently hangovers are caused by the massive amounts of alchohaul still in your system essentially causing dehydration.  So drink water...but it'll need to be lots.

It doesn't work. You have to drink the water after each drink of alcohol for it to really work.

Yeah, as in about 4/5 pints. Depends how blasted you get, and what you're drinking. If you're drinking beer, then you wouldn't need as much as if you'd been drinking Jack Daniel's all night.

I know about the water trick. according to the "experts" (yes, we actually have lectures on drinking at my uni), it works if you drink a lot just before you go to bed. however, I don't really get hungover as in headache (that is caused by dehydration. I get headaches when I'm dehydrated because of heat etc though). today I had some throatache tho. nothing some water and a couple of mints couldn't cure.

but I wonder why my leg still hurts.

I'd LOVE to see the chat log of that. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

you know one way to prevent getting drunk/hung over is to drink milk vefore you drink, or eat lot's of brwon bread.

also, if tyou take a small drink in the morning i hear you prevent getting hung over all to bad.
