    I was p*ssed. Took me 3 minutes longer than normal at 6.50am. Bedlam.

    If I choose to have eight Bloody Marys for breakfast that's between me and my fellow motorists.

    Ah wait to you have nippers and you'll be wide awake at 6 every morning!!

    I like to get in early and home early. Coming up to 4 bells and I'm packed up and ready to hit the road. I was doing a job recently 3 kms from the house...I was back home and showered by 4.15 every day!!

    I can't remember the last time I lay in bed to 8 a.m or later. We had a party here a couple of weeks ago and the last ones left at 3.45 in the morning. I went to bed at 4 and was sitting downstairs with a coffee and the paper at 7.30.

    That's where we'd differ. It would be rare to catch me awake after 10.30pm even at the weekend unless we're out.

    Oh I'm a hoor for the sleep. There's no nicer journey than heading to the scratcher at 10 bells!! I could sleep standing up!!

    Nah. Was like this since a small kid. Love my sleep. Once I hear the dulcet tones of Brian Dobson, I know it's time to start winding down.

    Definitely a post kids thing.

    Before I'd kids I was a very light sleeper and would have sat up watching tele to all hours. Now I could sleep through a bomb going off!!

    No payment system thingy in Ireland unfortunately.

    I went for the 38mm space grey with the black band. Couldn't justify the cost for the non-sport versions, they're an extra 200/300 quid.

    Will probably end up buying some third-party leather band for it.

    If you bet online (with PP) can you get odds on something not listed? It always says "more available on request" but I can't figure out where/how to request?

    Anytime I've done that online I've gone to their live chat in the contact us section.

    They will explain there what to do.

    Poor Hilary had to be carried into an ambulance / Van at the 9/11 ceremony. Things like this are how Trump ends up winning.

    I heard one of the most upsetting things I've ever heard about 911 today. The firefighters who entered the building were intending on trying to help people / fight fires on the 80th floors and above. With no elevators, carrying 50 KGs of equipment, through the smoke and with people coming down it was taking them over 2 minutes per floor, just under 30 hours to it to the crash area.

    So basically, apart from literally 2 or 3 of them who were distance runners in their spare time, none of them even got to crash zone before the buildings fell, and those that did didn't achieve anything once they arrived. 400 emergency respondents died in the Twin Towers, and it sounds like it was mostly for nothing.
