Keep it next to the Florida Water.

That's a shame. I quite like a lot of DR Harris stuff. Use their shaving soap as a matter of fact.

^ It was still possible to go into an independent chemist's shop in Britain in the 60s and ask him for something for a hangover. He'd grind 2 Daprosil in a pestle and mortar, slosh in soda water, pour it into a glass in front of you hand it over with pride in his skill for you to drink.

For a mild hangover I like a lot of cold cola and a big packet of strong, chilli-flavoured crisps. For something worse, I think that you can do worse than a full-bodied Bloody Mary but I recall that my father used to keep a stock of miniature bottles of very strong bitters, which he would drink straight with an awful grimace and then KBO.

Dark spirits? You don't need a hangover cure, you need an exorcism.

Lucozade use to be my favourite hang over cure, but after 8 or 9 pints of Stella Artois or Theakston's Old Perculier, you know you're going to feel bad all day.

I don't get hangovers now, as I've changed my drinking habits: never drink more than 2 cans or bottles of beer, if you intend to move onto wine, or spirits later. If you're sticking with beer, keep to 4 cans or bottles and no more, regardless of the alcohol content. Drink wine only with the meal and never more than two classes, or half a bottle if the mood suits. Stick to 2 or 3 large brandies or whiskies after the meal. And ensure you measure it out with a jigger. Following the above code, or near as damn it, you will be free of hangovers.

I hate to admit to this. I read the entire Hermes green wallet saga. It was humorous and described Foo and the rest of that bunch perfectly. I believe a woman was involved at some point and she attempted to describe the obsession with Hermes. It took me a couple of days to wade through all the personalities and comments but the laughs were worth the time.  Psychosis was apparent throughout. The entire thread could be used as a comedy routine or taught in a psychology course. Maybe I need some help for reading it.
