I'm babysitting instead of doing Ebay shit tonight. I get my daughter to myself (albeit at her house), a baked potato and some beef stew. These are GOOD THINGS. But it means I now cannot go and see my GF afterwards. This is a BAD THING.
Is your evening going to be full of GOOD THINGS or BAD THINGS?

for the 8th day in a row, get me. but now my demon colleague is suggesting taking me to "fire and stone" and if you've never been there..... well, their international pizza menu is ridiculously fit. so i am weighing 2 hours of pain against options like these examples:
Cairo: Mozzarella, tomato sauce, roasted red & yellow
peppers, courgettes, aubergines, balsamic roasted
red onions, crumbled goat’s cheese and pine nuts
New York: Mozzarella, tomato sauce, crispy smoked bacon,
garlic & rosemary roast potatoes, caramelized onion
jam, topped with sour cream and smoked paprika
Jakarta: Satay sauce, mozzarella, satay chicken, spinach,
aubergine and red chilli, topped with slow roasted
tomato chutney, roasted peanuts and coriander

My dearest mother has transferred money to my mate to give to me so I can 'buy food' (spend it on booze and horse tranquillizer this evening), I met Sportscow this afternoon who is a fine upstanding gentleman and because today is the first time I've had a few beers for about two months, I'm currently rather merry.

so there won't be much pubbing and very little clubbing.
But they do know how to shop, so a good time should be had by all.
Assuming they can make it - they both have to get to Edinburgh to catch the train first, and I think Scotland is up to its collective tits in snow at the moment. We have literally none, and I feel very left out.

In the cold, your body gets rid of fluid, as it only has to keep it warm if it keeps it on board. You de-hydrate, similar to getting drunk, and this is a common reason for headaches.
