Strange questions that sometimes need answering (or not asking in the first place really).

Double post, tell me off gently in this new world of advanced censorship...

Why does every episode of Midsummer Murders feature a old green volvo estate?
I have no dead bodies in the boot.
Tidied it out at the weekend.

On a separate note; why have Facebook’s birthday notifications become so ominous? I had this one this morning (it’s the top one):

This is someone I went to secondary school with, for context… what’s with the sudden ominous turn, Facebook?

You can, however, have a **** whilst snorting crack out of my butthole.

You swore we'd never speak about Southend!

Do hangovers get worse as you get older?

 

[rob666]

Yes, much.
Certain organs can only take so much damage.
I pretty much gave up drinking because the hangovers were lasting for days.

 

[John_P]

Yes, and there's no rhyme or reason to them.

Went out after the Liverpool game on Friday. Had a few pints, headache the next morning.

Saturday, go to a wedding. Drink much more. Wake up on Sunday completely fine.

Probably the biggest change is being made up leaving the club at 3am when it closed, whilst now its getting the bus home and getting in before midnight.

I had some whiskey (special reserve, two glasses containing three shots a glass plus a dash of water and coca cola) and it felt like my head had exploded.

I'm going to grow into the worlds most boring person come my thirties.

Not only do the hangovers get worse as you get over, the heart burn will more or less cripple you.

 

[rob666]

Now heartburn is one I managed to avoid.
Also the loo effect, once you are over fifty, every pint means another visit to the loo in the night.

I can still drink most people I know under the table. I can still pull an allnighter with a bottle of rum.
Used to be that I could put down the bottle, switch off Skype, and meet you lot at Thorpe a couple of hours later.
These days I need at least two days off to recover afterwards.

 

[rob666]

Some lucky people have the "my liver can recover quite nicely over time thank you" gene.

Some of us are less lucky, and end up with a simple mid life choice of drink less or die soon.

Fun conversation with the doctor about the above, I had forced myself to give up drinking because I could no longer face the longer and longer sickness post drinking, and went for my annual health check up six months after virtually stopping drinking...roughly down to a couple of beers a week...(mainly in Crevettes if possible).

"Well done Rob, you would have had another five years at most, now you could go another couple of decades."
Booze is a depressant as well.

 

[spotweld]

Dread to think what the doctor would say to me, bottle kicked down the road and all...

 

[Slugjc]

Someone once said to me.

You eat healthy, drink less, exercise more to add 3 years to ya life. In my family, the final 3 years are grim. Alzheimer's, heart disease etc. I'm alright just knowing I'm going to go at some point.

After my last experience overnight in hospital, I have absolutely no intention of dragging life out as long as possible, quality of life is everything.
I was the youngest in an elderly overnighter patient bed on a male side ward...
Most of the rest had zero quality of life and three months in hospital in constant suffering.
