Contact lenses not sitting right in the eye, so fucking annoying

Was it in here people were giving out about materials costs? Interesting little video here about some elements of it. Starts off uninspiringly with a bubble tea example, but eventually gets onto lumber, computer chips, cars:

Midweek pint hangover. Please end this day already.

Midweek sessions? Over 35? Welcome to hell.

So fucking true. It's horrendous hot little I can drink now. I'm 43 and felt a hangover coming on WHILE I was having a can  :-[ Fucking bullshit man.

That was a bad can. I have 8 in the fridge just calling to me. However, we've had no power since 10 so I'll have to wait a little longer for them to cool down.

When you hit 40's unless you are a professional drinker it feels like hangovers last for 2 days and bring despair  beyond any experienced before.
I can only liken it to what I imagine the bends feel like.

I'm 45 and can confirm, middle-aged hangovers are a little death. I was a regular pub attendee pre-plague but wouldn't be able for it now. A couple of cans of an evening are grand but even when the pubs opened briefly last autumn, I went in once, had 5 or 6 pints and was useless the following day.

Female tennis players and their grunting and screaming. Shut the fuck up.

The only reprieve is that I could have lasted the night but opening hours curtailed that. I'm very glad of that.

I'm nearly 40 - few months to go - and for years I'd laugh when I heard fellas in work saying that hangovers were killing them. Not that I never got hangovers but usually only when I'd gone full tilt on the sauce and even then I could power through.

Case in point - I drank every single day of my 4 week honeymoon - and not a timid amount either - and every morning I got up and was pretty OK and back at the booze and cocktails by lunch - apart from one day when we went whale-watching but that was sea-sickness, I reckon.  :laugh:

The last 18 months or so - I have cut back a lot on the beer. I still drink - not enough to shithouse a session but a few nice ones - go to bed merry but not steamed up. Next morning - I am nearly always in a cruel condition for a few hours.

A few weeks ago, after 5 cans of beer the night before, I made it as far as the deck out the back and ate a whole share bag of Keogh's crisps followed by 5 out of a 6 pack of Hula Hoops (brown flavour) to try and cure myself.
