Yeah, I wouldn't be big into sci-fi, although I did really enjoy Star Trek TNG - I'm guessing the three references I made to in my post went right over your head?

"Night" and "Day" people are going to be such weird categories with different characteristics this sort of analysis is useless. Maybe "night" people tend to eat later in the day, or have less time in the morning etc. Either group can train themselves to not want to eat in the morning if they want to.

There are few enough pleasures in life to NOT WANT to eat. I've trained myself to eat morning, noon and night. I draw the line at Watermelon. If you ever spot me eating watermelon. Feel free to snap my neck as you will be encountering a body snatch invasion. I will be asleep in a room close by. Liberate me.

Although if anyone remembers the 2019 WC final drama-fest, you would have to funk for NZ."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Ironically I actually develop extreme shakes if I ever have to carry a hot drink and that incident mildly traumatized me. It's kind of impressive that SP went to the effort of orchestrating a whole kerfuffle about the company buying all the employees coffee or something and it was 100% done purely to get a picture of me holding some coffee.
At this point I'm going on the record to state that he also used to cheat at Werewolf by trying to trick me into revealing info to him in the canteen.

I've had a cup of coffee and a Fulfil bar for breakfast for maybe the last three months. At this stage it would feel odd to eat anything else. I suspect its the best possible breakfast. Lovely taste, 20g of protein to last you for a bit, and some vitamins to do whatever they do."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Been spending a lot of time on the Long Mile Road recently as there's loads of house related stuff there. Wandered into the Farmhouse Cafe the other day for the first time. A slightly ramshackle looking place on the outside but loads of traffic going in and out. Wow, what a lunch place. Had the Spanish stew there last week and the flavour was ridiculous. A breakfast bap on Monday and there's no competition its the best bap i ever had. They make all the bread on the site and seems to be their speciality. The bread that came with the Spanish stew, I've not quite seen anything as springy as it. That breakfast bap roll was amazing.
Judge it within its category of 'breakfast / lunch style workman's cafe, definitely, but its well up there. I'd nearly make a trip to eat there again. The reviews on google are outstanding. People literally salivating into their reviews."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

" there is less than ½ to 1 teaspoon of sugar per bar."
Your enjoying this because it's terrible for you. It's a processed sugar bar. You may as well just eat a bowel of Coco pops each morning and spend your spare time watching marvel films whilst your waist slowly expandsLast edited by Hectorjelly; 11-11-21, 01:05.

Reminds me of my favourite story.
Years ago, when I was about 19, every morning I called in to my best friend and both of us got the bus to work.
I had a great relationship with his aul lad, could say anything to him.
Called in one morning and my mate was late, upstairs getting ready.
I waited in the kitchen. His Da was sitting there eating his breakfast.
I remember being in a grumpy mood, just grunted hello to him and didn't chat.
He was watching telly while slurping this disgusting looking grey mush.
I said to him 'That looks like shite you're eating'
He didn't even look away from the telly, and quick as a flash said..
'Sure it will be soon enough'I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

On watermelons, I remember when I was 21, myself and two of my mates had just moved into our own apartment in Drumcondra so decided to throw a massive party.
Our contribution to it was 2 watermelons, 3 packets of jelly and 5 bottles of vodka. Over the course of a week before the party, I got a full bottle of vodka into each watermelon. I also used a ratio of one pack of jelly to one bottle of vodka to make vodka jelly.
The watermelon, while lethal, was actually quite tasty and everyone devoured it. The vodka jelly was not quite so tasty. Let's just say the ratio of one bottle of vodka to one pack of jelly is a little off.
My last memory of the party was me going around with a huge bowl of the jelly and a big spoon, practically force feeding it into people on the basis of one spoon for me and one spoon for you. Next thing I remember is waking up naked in bed with some totally random chick - She seemed pretty happy with whatever happened
End/ thinly veiled brag of getting the ride (before somebody else says it)

TL DR . Yesterday was a perfect day . Despite the below
SPOILERPlaying golf yesterday, approaching the T box (our T-off was 10.40) From behind came two men scurrying with their trollies rattling running late. We were about to t-off and they said, we had the 10.30 slot can we go ahead of you. The course was pretty free ahead of them and they were decked out in the latest equipment and with me being a fair weather occasional golfer I said, hey you lads go ahead you look like you mean business.
Big mistake, they were all over the shop resulting in my friend and I up their arses for 8 holes. They was nobody behind us so we treated ourselves to some extra holes (replaying etc). SO we played about 22 holes and were still waiting on the 17th T box for them to clear off. They didn’t once offer to let us play through . I don’t get bothered normally but my friend gets very antsy when he has to wait so I have to look at ways to distract him the way you would a child. Hey look at the different colours in the trees , mad that the rain kept off, St Pats have switched off in the league since they got to the FAI Final, etc etc wha wha … but he was getting grumpy. So the extra holes worked out a treat in that regard. Dunno why people get so worked up on a fine day.
Afterwards we went in for some grub where due to extreme starvation I abandoned my meat ban and ordered what I thought was a simple club sandwich. What came out was a work of art, I nom nom’d my way through it , drank a pint of guinness , then patted my swollen belly and thought, THIS is the fking life .
When I got home the 5 year old was in meltdown mode and needed to be taken out for a walk. Obviously seen as I had been out all day enjoying myself I got the nod to take him out when really all I wanted was a grandpa Simpson snore of the sofa. During the walk I was wondering who was harder to calm , my friend (50 yrs old) or a child. It seems the child.
Great day though, and I broke 90 which is excellent for a hacker on the Monty course. Low Point was on the Par 3 17th when my ball fell back into the deep bunker and my escape was a thinned SW into the Liffey.

A win for Science. Hopefully you recover in time to win all the loots in Vegas.
That late Autumn\early Winter surge is definitely happening all over Europe now. Germany just reported record case numbers again. Would hate to think what the hospitals would be like without the success of the vaccine programme."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Originally posted by Gimmeabreakgot myself a dose of the covid. Had incredibly mild symptoms, a very minor sore throat which I put down to the house being too stuffy. I wouldn't have got tested based off my symptoms alone but I'd been at a funeral, was out socialising and was also due to fly to Vegas so figured I'd get a test as I'd only to pop across the way to Citywest (which is a monument of pure efficiency btw). Anyway, positive test result. Praise be to science as if this is as bad as I feel from the disease, compared to prior horror stories from those who contracted the virus when pre-vaccine, then I'll be just fine.
If for some reason you're not vaccinated, go and get it.
