red bull smells so awful i've never been able to drink it

( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 12:57, Reply)

I drink 2-3 cans of 'v' energy drink a day, which cost 99p each, so I thought I'd switch to red-bull at this price.

cost 99p each is why my guts are destroyed beyond recognition

Sorry Gonz, but I'm contractually obliged to point this out to you every now and again.

i like the neurosports drink. my PT gave it to me when i was dumb enough to skip food all day because of a massive court case and then promptly fainted after an hour of working out. worked like a charm.

It's called "sugar".
It costs about a quid a kilo and is soluble in tap water.

I don't think they have tap water in rswipe's bit of london.
At least, not unless the taps are gold. So I've heard.

gold?
how would that go with my tasteful grey/wood/chocolate brown suede/glass kitchen?

platinum darling.

dear lord, what would you make out of suede in a kitchen?
Anyone would think you'd had it decorated for looking good rather than for actually cooking in.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 13:17, Reply)

er, chairs??
it's quite big for a kitchen in a flat, about 15' by 15', so i have a glass dining table and suede chairs at one side.

is that ok?!

My missus bought suede chairs.
We have children. She's an idiot.

oh dear
i don't even own an child, and i still didn't get the pretty cream suede ones for this exact reason.

don't get me wrong, i don't believe all the shit about electrolytes and rehydrating
i just like the taste of it after 30 mins running for 37 cals and no diet coke.

but i haven't drunk anything other than evian since new year (apart from two cheeky vodkas). i'm so fucking bored of evian.

london tap water mings hard though
i happily drink tap water when i'm home in cheshire
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 13:08, Reply)

Cheshire mostly drinks welsh water which is also what goes into those 9 pence bottles of own-brand supermarket "still water".
But hey ... if you want to pay through the nose to drink half-filtered medieval frenchman's piss then you go right ahead.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 13:09, Reply)

it's still better than the unfiltered piss which is london tap water

( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 13:10, Reply)

tap water is better filtered than any mineral water on the market
except Dansai or whatever the fuck it's called, or tesco value mineral water, which are both tap water.

on this, my sweet,
as on so many other things, we must agree to disagree!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 13:20, Reply)

well, I wouldn't disagree over that
it's scientific fact. you can argue that bottled water tastes better, of course, but tap water is definitely better filtered.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 13:28, Reply)

oh
so what makes it taste better then - because it definitely does, you've lived in london!

No diggedy.
And Burger Kind is better than McDonalds. They're both still shit.

you got the shit bit right
that's the important bit
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 13:21, Reply)

because it contains a cuntload of sugar in liquid form.
coke would do. Tesco value lemonade would do.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 13:04, Reply)

it can't do, for 37 cals in 500 mls
must be aspartame or similar?

Carbinated cafinated drinks increase and speed up the effects of opiats, which is why I take them, as I take opiats 2-3 times a day.
that is the only reason and times I take them.

Did a man in a white coat tell you this?

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 13:06, Reply)

I learnt this myself through years of usage.
google about "caffine opiat effect", I'm not the only one who's found this.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 13:08, Reply)

it doesn't matter how many people on google say so
it's arse. You're talking psychosomatic effects at most. The only reason to mix caffiene and opiates is to try and stay awake when you overcook it.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 15 Feb 2012, 13:12, Reply)

I'm not even bothered, to tell you the truth. I take them because I like them and the effect they have on me. Phsycosymantic or not.
We all do things that aren't good for us, and life is a pretty pathetic existance if you don't.

I know it's bad for me, but it does have some possitive effects, if it only had negative ones then why would I do it? The doctor explained to me both why it was bad for me _and_ why it was having the effects I've described.

I don't mean to sound bad, but if you want someone to change their attitude towards something, dismissing everything they say as 100% twoddle is not the way to go about it, you'll only get their backs up to the wall.

Each one takes up 30% of my sugar intake, I'm not saying it's good, not at all, but it's not as bad as the others.
