Fellatio's a liability and often played out of position anyway


We'll lose 1-2.


Don't mention the war(s) round here....

Fell asleep during the Mags' bore fest, forgot to record Stoke's triumph - WOY OUT! Now listening to Collydogger, his verdict:

'Hodgson thought he'd corned the turner...'

Polly, how much jet lag do you usually get flying this way? When coming back from Britain it takes me (standard one day/hr diff) 9 or 10 days to properly recover here.

I'm really maddening, as I don't get jetlag in either direction. I sleep pretty irregular hours anyway, which I reckon helps, plus as most of my shifts are nights I'm fairly nocturnal when in Aus - therefore I'm living pretty much on UK time anyway. My natural time clock is to sleep around 3-4am Aus time and wake up around 11am.
Even before I went onto nights though i didn't get jetlag really. I follow the advice I was given on the first trip I ever did - get onto the new timezone when boarding the plane. I usually fly to arrive early morning, so I sleep on the last let of the flight, land 5-7am ish, stay awake all day, collapse around 10-11pm, sleep for 8 hours, next day I'm adjusted to the new timezone and never look back. Maddening for everyone else but perfect for me as I don't lose any holiday, I just hit the ground running.

My first night in either place is usually pretty funny though - I last till around 10.30pm then I just fall asleep - on the spot. Bernie didn't believe me till he saw it in March this year, but I just glaze over, lose control of my words, and once I even fell asleep and fell off the stool in a pub This time is the first time I've avoided that, I nearly lost it the first night I got to London, but managed to fight through the sleep and till 3am somehow! I know I'm dea lucky, I really feel sorry for people that get it badly, must be hell losing holiday time cos your sleep pattern is up the swanny.
