OT Is there an anti coffee?

Drank so much caffeine to stay awake on the way back from London I now
can't sleep. Is there some way of making it wear off?

 

I'm tired. I've spent the last hour and a half lying down twiddling my
thumbs, [1] to no great effect so I'm obviously lacking in willpower.

Supposed to be in a seminar at 1pm, so my bet is the caffeine will
wear off around 12.30pm

[1] To the standard question, it might be.

 

How well you know us

 

A good screw or two always seems to help matters.

 

A bit late now, but the best solution (and Elly will vouch for the
effectiveness) is a *large* whisky. Exactly the opposite of trying to
sober a pissed person, in fact.

 

Tax returns.

 

Indeed, but the availability of such in the early hours of this
morning was a problem.

 

<eyes longrow whisky bottles>

Really?

<eeeny, meeny, miny, mo>

 

Oh poo, I have some of those as well.

Yes. The come down that I'm gritting my teeth through atm reminds me
of misspent nights which for me were always summed up by Pulp's Bar
Italia.

"That's what you get from clubbing it.
You can't go home and go to bed,
because it hasn't worn off yet,
and now it's morning.
There's only one place we can go.
It's around the corner in Soho,
where other broken people go.
Let's go."

 

Did them in September like the efficient bunny I am.

 

Gaydar.

 

Is no bloody use if I'm trying to get laid. Apart from knowing which
ones not to waste valuable chatting up time on.

 

At least you'd have a good natter.

 

<g> Very true. Plus, there's actually a chance of real emotional
insight. And hugs. And it not being about my tits.

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Work in progress

I can do that.

And that.

Ah.

Gay men

See that dangly thing between your legs? It suggests you get easily
distracted and can't.

<books breast reduction surgery>

 

I'd had loads, shifting boxes for a friend down one flight, then up
two flights.

Never been able to fall asleep reading, even really mind numbing
research papers don't do it..

Tried them.

So the trick is to up my intake? <puts kettle on>

I've had one caffeinated beverage today, to stave off the caffeine
withdrawal headache and I'm still wide awake and chirpy some 8 hours
later.

 

Even enumerating wooly jumpers ?
SWMBO swears by relaxing each muscle in sequence starting with the ones
in your feet and working up.

 

Yes. They pull faces at me, or wander off or I get distracted by the
clouds or want to know what's over the next hill.

Did that, do that every night, did it twice last night, didn't work.

 

Hmmm. An overactive imagination. Try the 'Midwich Cuckoos' approach
perhaps.
Nighty - night.
