A home made saline.

1 pint of water
1 or 2 table spoons of salt
1 or 2 table spoons of sugar

Your brain is dehydrated and your body craving other things.

It won't taste nice but drink that and you'll start to feel better after an hour or so (depending on how much you drank/slept/age)

Dioralyte or the supermarket knockoff versions are a much easier and more palatable version.

Personally my hangover cure is take two paracetamol and a pint of water up to bed with me, the moment I wake up neck both (I find all drinking the water *before* bed does is make me wake up for a piss), then use cheap energy drinks to mop up the remainder.

Nothing touches my hangovers now which generally last well over 24 hours so I'm finding I'm drinking less and less. Last beer was 6 weeks ago and last whisky a couple of weeks back.

That’s the reaction I tend to get with the Mars thing but honestly I’m surprised I’ve never found anyone who made the same mistake. I guess I’ve just never had sufficient nougat in my life to realise the stuff in mars bars isn’t unique to mars bars.

I’m highly critical of XR but blocking the printing presses is a brilliant move and I only hope they can keep it up. If not, however, security around them will almost certainly be tighter making any future acts of disruption or sabotage more difficult.

What's everyone's favourite hangover cure, gimme

I'm late tot his, but all you need is a bottle of Irn-bru, and a breakfast roll of some sort.

My preference these days is square sausage and tatty scone on a soft roll with a little bit of ketchup, but it's very much dealers choice here.

A guy I knew once insisted nougat was the "la-di-da Mr French man" pronunciation, and it should instead by pronounced "nugget"

Nugget was the normal pronunciation at my primary schools tbh, I learned to keep my ladida noogah thoughts to myself.

That's how they pronounce it in the southern states at least.

Further proof that America was a mistake. Even if it produced my lovely partner. She agrees.

My controversial opinion is that hangovers are fine, embrace them. Spend an entire day in bed, have hamburgers for breakfast and milkshakes for lunch, watch embarrassingly poo poo TV, drink like 2 litres of fruit juice all in one, just completely lap up feeling really sorry for yourself & take it for all it's worth. Self care is praxis, & a hangover is as good an excuse as any.

(yes, I am in my mid 30s and know what a real hangover feels like, just lean into it, it's fine (I tell myself, burgerkingandyoutubeinbedishly))

Once in a while the Americans get it right. Nothing will excuse the way they pronounce buoy or clique, though.

My hangover cure today was;

Last night's potato dauphinoise left overs.
An effervescent multivitamin tablet in a pint of water.
Film4.

Might have a shower and go for a walk in a bit, the worst thing for me isn't really anything physical but the heightened sense of anxiety. I probably shouldn't drink at all.

I've heard both true crime and pro wrestling podcasts pronounce it "lar-nyx" so I assume it's a fairly widespread thing

Calling nougat nugget reminds me of the fact that until sometime in the 80s I think Nestle was pronounced “nessle” (to sound like “rustle”) even in ads for the company.

I quite like a hangover, a comedown all the more. Just sit around all day watching nature documentaries and crime shows, eating poo poo, then have a few beers and a takeaway in the evening. Magnificent.

My personal favourite trick is having a shower and then moisturising my face with nivea or what have you. Even talking about hangovers is making me want to drink two bottles of wine, though I have toothache at the moment so trying to avoid such nonsense.

I'm doing really badly at posting these on the first of the month, sorry. Goons continued to give generously in August and we love you all! Nevertheless, this has been another month where requests have (slightly) exceeded donations. Which means, on the very positive side, that we have once again helped several comrades stay afloat, alive, sane, etc in these parlous times. :unsmith:

The public record of activity is not up to date at the moment either. Will fix that when we update the accounting records tomorrow. (**edit** It is now up to date.)




Thanks, goons. Thoons.
