Was just thinking what a stupid product (after all, of you connect with the bastards they're toast, leccy or not). Then I saw the bit about walking through midges at night and hearing and seeing the extermination.

Suddenly looks like a must have.

Thought I might be lucky and got to bed at 10:45 last night. Still awake at 04:45. Finally got to sleep, waking up two hours later... :(

Before I forget and nod off (if only..........)

Does counting sheep help? Cos, I have found that it is so cold in that field, it really doesnt work!

Should I try counting something else?

Or should I just listen to Blue Monday?

Answers on a prescription please.

:shrug: Works for me, usually.

5:30 am and can't fall asleep again... :angry:

0 likes

Last night I went to bed at 11pm in the vain hope of falling asleep. It went like this:

23:20 - drunk arseholes out of the pub, playing footie with tin cans in the street and fighting. Got half dressed, went downstairs and told them to fuck off home (screamed actually) They were so surprised that they actually did. Well, very large, angry half naked man with a hunting knife... wouldn't you?

12:00 - dried off my feet, went back to bed

12:40 - ducks screaming while being killed by foxes (wouldn't you?)

01:15 - Crying outside. Human crying that is. And yelling. Got dressed. Went downstairs. Turns out a mum had gone out with son and daughter, got wrecked and fallen over in our front yard. Sorted them out, dried my feet again, went to bed.

02:00 - Can't sleep, but determined not to post

02:30 - Still can't sleep. Watch a rerun of 'One Foot In The Grave'

03:15 - Settle down to sleep. Then the foxes and ducks start again

03:30 - Put on headphones to listen to music. All I can get out of then is a scratching sound. F**king Orang Utans again.

04:00 - Manage to sort out headphones but hear a loud rustling outside.

04:15 - Still can't work out what it is, but must be f**king ginger.

04:30 - Lying there awake, far too hot for an hour.

04:45 - Manage to nod off.

05:30 - Knocking on my door. Get up, no one there.

06:00 - Manage to doze off again.

06:44 - Text received.

06:47 - Sigh, get up, make a cup of tea, start work.

:cry:

Answers on a prescription please.

Kath - 10mg Diazepam, one hour before bed every evening. May cause drowsiness. If affected, do not drive or operate machinery. If symptoms persist, consult your GP.

Or take double the dose and a large glass of whiskey... :nod:

That must absolutely suck. :nonono:

Orang Utans again?? Should I equip you with another sledgehammer, Chris? :viking:

Thanks Jen, but at this rate, I'd start hammering People rather than apes around these parts of f**king 'Sarf Lundawn Innit'

Besides, I've got plenty of weaponery. Just illegal to use it.

However, a can of Heinz tomato soup wrapped in a Tesco's 'bag for life' and swung with force into some f**kers face - I may get away with it:

'I was on my way home from shopping at the 24 hour place down the road officers and this cnut attacked me'

It's worked before - 'shopping' isn't counted as an offensive weapon, as long as it's not a knife, gun, baton, truncheon, tazer, :viking: or orang utan.

:smoking: ~~~> and what's anyone prepared to do about it? Eh?

Tried posting this before! Done that doesnt work, and wont go down that road again. There is a reason why soneone doesnt sleep/cant sleep. Tabs are not the long term answer.

Been entertained with good philosophical and theological debate by two very lovely and intelligent women. Gits the both of them. Now it's 05:15 and I'm still awake. I have ginger beer, I have Jaffa cakes... wait, GINGER beer??? :cry:

and now if you don't mind, chris:

"You will need........ 3.5x10^12 identical "quantumn pairs" 2xsub gamma ray scanning lasers 1x jaffa cake

simply one of each quantumn twin pair to the departure point and the other to the destination. Next use the scanning laser to compare in sequence, each particle in the pile of quantumn twins with a corresponding particle in the target jaffa cake. now transmit the result to the destination point and apply that to the reciprocal quantumn twins, et voila! a Jaffa cake will appear out of thin (or slightly pudgy air).

NOTE: owing to Hesienberg's uncertainty principle, one cannot know what a particle is doing and where it is at the same time. While this method largely avoids this by making direct comparison rather than quantitative measurement, there is still a non zero probability that any given jaffa cake transmission may be recived with a sub-optimal smashing orangey bit in the middle, or as a lemon and lime variant, as a small venezeulan river leech, or even a mass of expanding proto hydrogen (some people believe our universe was initially created by a jaffa cake relocation gone wrong) However, in payback for these paltry risks, you DO get 2 jaffa's from one (the energy to create the second one being fed in at the destination point)."

courtesy of the good doctor. many thanks. horribly plausible as promised :thumb:

Wouldn't it be easier to just go buy some more jaffa cakes???

I've got a headache after reading all that...

Thanks Becks... got Jaffa cakes now though. Steve - that really DOES sound like it's some horribly plausible sciencey thing.

Sorry Sam - I did sleep a bit in the end x
