A whitey is, in fact, an overdose of cannabis, leading to a pale complexion, mild sweating, inability to construct stable mental thoughts, slight paranoia and full body lethargy, usually brought about after I've told mrs beef 'half a cookie dear, half a cookie' and she scoffs four of the fuggers cos they're sooooo delicious. And overdose of caffeine, can result in similar symptoms, sweating and palpitations, mental confusion, mania, but I'm not sure if it has a common slang term yet. Too much coffee man? Write a comic book about it.

BBW - Carlsberg Special Brew, breakfast of champions - I think the only time I could get away with that was in the late 1980s at university - the only time in your life when you can do pretty much what you want for 3 years, and get away with it, drink and party in the day and get away with it and as long as you passed the exams, noone cared. Great days.


But the "breakfast of champions" line made me laugh.

Rosie, sorry I missed your hour of need. For future reference the antidote to too much coffee is non-caffinated fluids, carbs and waiting for it to wear off.

Caffeine is a diuretic and stimulates insulin production, so part of the tremulous sick feeling is dehydration and low blood sugar. The rest is just the direct action of the caffeine and has to wear off.

Moos, the tweet that said:


"2 large coffees without assaying strength. pale, dizzy, nauseous, intermittent sweats, tremor, the works. arse fine thus far."


Two peas in a pod. You're right, Rosie Goldacre - I like it!


Quids, to me a whitey was always a cannabis thing too (although there was never actual vomit) - it's just that my symptoms were comparable to bona fide old skool whiteys and that given that I'd only had coffee and cola, it took me rather by surprise.

    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
