Setting the Pace

Having commented to my mother last night about Gongshow's recent illness (which should still have him back in fighting form for this weekend's black magic) I remarked how long it has been since I have fallen ill - other than from the occasional morning side-effects of the favored vice, of course. But I should know better than to tempt fate, for last night was one of the most sleepless nights that alternated between shivers and sweating most unnatural. I trust it to be one of those 24 hour affairs, and if I can only spring myself loose from this computer - and will do as close to 5 as possible - it will immediately to bed.

For above all, you've got to early on adopt the right pace. On this we do have some experience, but it is never guaranteed. By all means we'll drink the day through, but not 6 at a time, for example. "Don't drink 6 beer at the same time?? Brilliant!" 3 nights, 3.5 days. It really is hours not days. And so I say again, Brilliant!
