• Inability to Sleep / Insomnia

  in Miscellaneous and Meaningless • 13 years, 5 months

  

  I had a lot of trouble sleeping and wasn't going to bed until like 7am and then slept for just a few hours, was always exhausted and powerless and all that, had a lot on my mind, worries, troubles and all. Not even working in a warehouse, doing physical work, helped. But now that I have an office job and have to put more thoughts into my work, I get so exhausted that I fall asleep between 9-10 in the evening and can't even keep my eyes open, if I try and stay awake longer. If I miss the gap, I can probably keep up till about 12, but with very little ability to do anything.

• Do you remember the riots

  in Miscellaneous and Meaningless • 13 years, 5 months

  

  Hey, doesn't this relate to nearly every country? I am not from the Kingdom originally, but I also fell off trees, played in the woords, drank from the tap and had a BMX and loads and loads more, like used to eat just bread with butter and honey and used to run around all day, playing hide-and-seek, and didn't even know anything about computer games or mobile phones... And I don't think any of us would've been thinking of riotting, we were too afraid to steal gum from a shop where nobody was guarding the display.

• Food

  I had quite an amazing brunch yesterday. We had tomatoes with mozzarella and cabbage salad with cucumber and mayonaise, all kinds of meats and bacons and ham and then creamy blue cheese, assorted vegetables and loads of jams and croissants with butter and then loads and loads of fruit. It's one of those brunches that you know you shouldn't eat so much, but just can't stop. :)

  We allow ourselves this kind of eating only on a Sunday, before a long walk or run. Otherwise, with all this sitting in the office, it's all salad for me. :)

• Architecture and interior design thread

  omg, I love this! This is so magical and impressive. And given my love for the mountains I'd say it's a safe bet.

  Is it real? My friends are betting it's photoshopped. I'd love for this to be my winter vacation home.

• Birmingham to Berlin

  in Birmingham • 13 years, 5 months

  

  Omg, how are you guys doing that? I can't seem to be able to cope with the sitting on the bike for so long and you can only stand so much.

  Berlin is quite rainy for the last week but it looks a bit better for the weekend, particularly Sunday. Hope you may reach the good weather, as they say it's been an 'atypical' season this year and it's been 18 degrees and raining (leaving the UK to come on vacation here does not seem the best idea atm).

  And congrats! I got maximum respect for you lot.

• Coffee Appreciation

  in Miscellaneous and Meaningless • 13 years, 5 months

  

  OMG, I'm so happy today, my colleague brought me one of those coffee makers that you put on the stove. I couldn't be bothered to give money for one and I've been getting up without coffee every morning, had just some instant ice-cappucino or sth - not good! Not helping me wake up and doesn't help my stomach in the morning either lol. But from tomorrow I'll be like a normal human being again. :)

• Looting and madness

  in Birmingham • 13 years, 5 months

  

  I'm happy the riotting didn't spread through to Coventry. Really proud.

  (it's probably cause the city is empty now with all the students gone and there is no one to take part lol)

  Excellent police work in preparation! I hope we can always be that way.

• In the news

  How did you transition from talking about the news to discussing how to acquire a gun and some bullets?

  Seems the situation is getting worse, as violence is spreading through the Midlands.

• What is fork stretch?

  in Mechanics & Fixin' • 13 years, 5 months

  

  I suppose if they've referred you to a bike shop which does drillings, it kinda means it's ok. They seem like they could hold it. I've never heard the fork stretch, though, sounds funny :)

• Buying a bike in Berlin... or Frankfurt, or D town, etc

  in Cycle Touring and Bikepacking • 13 years, 5 months

  

  You could get one from the flea market in Mauer Park, though my friend said they were all stolen :oops: My other friend bought his from there, though, so you might get a good deal :)

  Not an Ebay fan?
