Default 5min escape from the stress - Part 1.

Like most people on here the stress of waiting for my bloody visa is almost constant. But, help is at hand... To take your mind off it (for just a few minutes) try the following:

1. Rotate your right foot clockwise.
2. Try and draw a number 6 in the air with your right hand.

Anybody who can do it without starting to rotate their foot in the opposite direction can have a Bundy and coke - although you'll have to buy it yourself.

Any other suggestions?

Ok that wasn't too hard after a few false starts (where's the nearest bar selling Bundy? Oh that'll be on the other side of the world, curses). What's next? I know, I'll swap the hand/foot roles!
... oops, just fell off my chair.

I'm just wondering how many people read this and tried it? I know I did and like most, after a couple of false starts, I managed it. Luckily I'm alone in my office so no strange looks!!!

Newcastle eh? me too.

Drink lots of wine, crash for 10 hours everynight for 50 weeks time will pass quicker. Garaunteed. I know I've done it!!

They don't check liver function I think at medicals so have some fun

Done that trick a few times but makes you more stressed as you can't do it
