Unless you take them all the time they tend to have a horrible hangover effect where you spend the next day feeling groggy. And then if you do take them regularly they have diminishing returns so you have to take more. That's how the 'addicted to sleeping tablets' thing occurs. If Portugal is anything like the UK they are not happy to hand out sleeping pills. Prescribed sleeping pills are a high dose benzodiazepine (you know Valium) and taking tranqs isn't something you really want to go near unless you absolutely have to. I don't know what the drug company lobbying laws are in Canada but in America the pharmaceutical companies have run amok promoting things like sleeping pills as harmless and now shockingly created a large prescribed opiate addiction problem by also presenting them as harm free to gullible (or bent) medical personal. America consumes 99% of the all the worlds Vicodin (an opiate painkiller) on prescription!

When you run your own business you never stop working even if you're not physically there, theres always things to be thought about or sorted out. I always thought setting up our office systems in the study at home would make things worse but it's been quite the opposite. That led to then setting up being able to access them from anywhere where there's any sort of connectivity. It allows a lot of physical freedom if not mental. You can deal with things when they're on your mind and then put it down again rather than having to travel to a particular place. But I'm guessing from your posts you figured all that stuff out long long ago! Do normal employees have shorter hours?

A mere 9hrs away, well worth it Blimey he works long hours.

As I'd have to give up alcohol or sleep on the floor I might give that a miss

I might need his address

Just bought a new mattress. Buying a mattress is up there with my most hated purchases. The wild price differences, varying guarantees and warrantees that seem like they'd be impossible to enact, the well reviewed mattresses have just few scathing reviews that sound like they're correct n telling the truth and now everything has a memory foam top sewn in. Memory foam is lovely to begin with until it loses its memory. I learned this the hard way after assurances in the shop that the last super feckin expensive bed I bought would definitely not lose its memory but of course it did and now I'm sleeping in a damn dip I finally settled on the least awful option to then read the last three reviews saying the mattress they were delivered is nothing like the one they tried in the shop and is rock hard. Whining complete.

Of course it bloody is I'm back next Saturday

Mr Slowly just had a pair of Timberlands resoled, they sent them back to Timberland to do it. £70!

Just watching Shantaram (the true story it's based on is so very cool), the series is ok but not mind blowing and I confess I only started watching it cos on the promo pic I could see a tiny bit of a motorcycle grip Got one episode left of 'The English' which was said to be taking Westerns in a whole new direction that could reinvigorate the genre. Well I bloody hope not, it keeps threatening to be good and then not delivering, they're trying too hard to be arty n meaningful and that is simply BORING.

I heard cbd oil vapes are very good for folk who need help to drift off. I also read a surprising number do still contain psychoactive substances so I'd be careful where you got the stuff from

As soon as the Hendrix track cut in over the top I was sold!

I'm reading a book called 'Adventures of an Introvert' it may get better but currently his repressed boring approach of everything sends me to sleep within two pages. He's so snore inducing I resent the level of power this dull man I've never met holds over me so even when I'm having trouble getting to sleep and the solution is within arms reach I resist reading it

You live in Spain ya great jessie.

I have to say the thought of soup and wine sloshing about together isnt appealing

He was hoping he could have a quick wax before hand

Used a monitor with the first one for a long time and very quickly turned it off with the second, he's a very noisy sleeper

I seem to have one of the few that doesn't suffer condensation in the clocks. I was just a bit surprised a diver was using soapy water because there are much more effective dispersal spray films available. I would of let it dry out for a lot longer, run a dehumidifier and reassembled it in that low humidity room. Fingers crossed its done the trick. Oh and congratulations you've been about long enough for Pete to start bagging your bike. Lucky you

So is this the solution 'Wee Jaunt' used?

I used to sleep soundly for at least 8 hours but then I had kids and never slept soundly again. I think you stay semi alert, so you’ll hear if anything happens. When I’m in Spain I sleep well, deep relaxing sleep. I’m guessing it’s because the children aren’t there or associated with being there so I’m not unwittingly listening out. When I come back here I immediately revert back to poor sleep. I’m hoping now they’ve left the building I’ll get some Spanish sleep here too

A lot of relationships seem to have control or dominance issues going on. It’s almost expected one person “wears the trousers” rather than having equal status. I think it’s weird. Mr Slowly n I have always encouraged the other to do whatever makes them happy, it really isn’t up to the other person to say yes or no. Because I wouldn’t say anything without having good reason when I said do you think given your driving history it’s wise for you to get a motorbike? He listened and said probably not and then we found a way around it. It does get into difficult territory when someone you love is going to do something dangerous that could damage them. If you’re in one of those relationships where the other person says no just for the sake of it that’s not healthy. I have friends in those types of relationships and I find I completely avoid them now because watching one person subjugate another makes me want to shake them

Can't get no sleep No matter if you can't remember that 90's off your tits classic hit, if you can't sleep and are awake when you don't want to be post your inane night time thoughts here. Thinking the words uncle michael helicopter banana sound sensible? Post away! No need to declare new night meds later on, just enjoy the free pass lunacy

Yes n No If you'd experienced my other halves driving skills you'd say NO... GOD NOOOOOOOOO He was so awful he was once invited onto a Kilroy-Silk prog about bad drivers. The fleet insurance company we used refused to insure the company unless it was specified he would not be a driver. He wrote off more than one car a year for at least ten years! But he is an excellent rugby player And then eventually after I had a bike a while I relented and said How about a trike? This would I thought bypass some of the riskier aspects (feck me I did not know how expensive those things are ). So he had a Harley trike (it was stunning) and very quickly he started to ride it completely differently. To the extent I said how about a motorbike then? The weirdest part is on a bike he's good but he gets back in a car/van and is as awful as ever?!!

'Air Sea Battle' ?? I used to love that one.

What did you cut through it with? If I took an angle grinder to something like that it wouldn't be a nice clean cut like you have there, it would be a skittish mess

Is the bit it works on the important bit though? The bit thats not just the underside of your mudguard? If so it's doing an alright job I'd say
