You don't do things in half do you!!!From nothing to 3 cups.. no wonder your ticker is doing over time!!

Go for a walk or some exercise and drink a lot of water. You'll feel better if you spend the energy!!

Ah yes, but i have plans you see.

Pike fishing trip We wen't down to a lake the other day and on the first cast with a crappy spinner we caught a jack, bout 3 lbs.

Apparently there's monsters in there, so we got the big boys tackle out and are going back.

Its a 6 mile walk there and back, So i gotta charge myself up.

Get there for about 10, fish till about 6, have a smoke to pass the time and relax

Since the omega blew up (again) i've been doing a fair bit of walking. I've found loads of fishing spots ready for the summer, and its nice to get to know the area better as i've only been here a while.

Also does the world of good for the old legs, Feeling much better in myself for walking so much

thats a good reason to drink more of it tbh

the coffee machine at work has a MUCH higher caffine rate in it cause when i first started i used to have a 2 coffees in the morning and another 2 at about 9ish and i noticed the caffine buzz then


although i no longer get that buzz anymore,,,,,,, maybe they changed the recipe

Main reason is I hate feeling controlled by something like the stuff I listed above. Couldnt stand the feeling that I needed to drink caffeine in the morning to get going. Hated having to get pissed up when I went out to get wild. So I quit.

hey im all for having mates that dont drink,,,,,,,,,, aslong as they have a licence otherwise whats the point


i get what you mean to a point but its not controlling though,,,,,, well not me as i choose to do it,,,,,,,,, but i think drinking is ALOT about peer pressure tbh and for that i honestly salute you,,,,,,, i for one couldnt go to the pub and stand there drinking cola,,,,,,,,, for that reason if im driving i drink alcahol free beer

Well I love my coffee but cannot drink granules!! Its Rank!!! Fresh brewed coffee everytime!!

Helen, if you can't have coffee but like the taste, buy a Senseo machine, and I'll get you some Carte noire Decaff pods next time we go to France. Have a cup every now and again... vry very nice!!

Oh and I have never understood the "if I go out, I need to get hammered" thing. Why do you have to go out and get drunk to have a good tiime? Especially if you can't remember a thing the following day....

nat think its the way people are brought up, i was brought up to drink and have a laugh and most of the best times of my life ive been pissed,,,,, but then most of the worst ive been pissed too ironically


i was commenting on going to the pub and being seen drinking coke,,,,,, just like i wont go to a pub and just drink 1 beer UNLESS im driving ect, i couldnt pop in my local for a quick one


but the missus says i got drinking problems as i always get messed up on a night out and then either throw up or fall fast asleep ( and its more than often the later one, even in clubs ect )


mmmmm may have to get one of them machines, i got a mini coffee maker like they got at starbucks but it dont seem to taste the same,,,,,, and you have to fill it with water and the foam dont come out right either

you would all love my job then

i drink normally 10 espresso's a day minimum .. all free too the wonders of working with coffee machines ..

as for soya milk .. yeah .. well look into the side effects of drinking alot of it long term

went to the dr's about 6 months ago and he asked if i drink alot of coffee i asked why and he mentioned my blood presure was a bit high told him what i do and he said was a little worried about my intake

senseo aint too bad but prefer nespresso coffee

if you really want a hit .. try drinking rocket fuel ... powdered coffee with gurana talk about tripping

have tried most coffee's on the market and prefer the smoothness of costa to be honest
