    I call her many things, The Punctured Hippo, The Zed Monster, The Growling Ogre etc... She knows full well how bad she snores, especially after a drink or two, and to be fair, I am just as bad.

    heh I have been known to wake myself up from a light sleep by snoring - I remember thinking 'who's that rude b@astard making all the noise' and then drifting off - only to have it happen again :-O

              I don't drink coffee, can't abide the stuff in fact, but being the one who pops the little paper cap on a jar of coffee is one of life's little pleasures. Also, being the first to use the loo at work after the cleaner has been in attendance. Getting a good night's sleep without the Great Snoring Beast From Kent keeping me awake all night is cool too. Waking up late and panicking before remembering that it is a Saturday, or putting on a jacket that hasn't been worn for a while and finding £10 in a pocket. These are all examples of LLP's. What else do you find gives you a momentary easing of the stresses and strains of your day?

              My relief comes in the form of a dump and the crossword. If I get the crossword done quickly I might have a go at the sudoku.

                        He has done well and proven his worth with this one. The bean is a cutie that I haven't heard of before... but it makes sense. Ever heard of the expression "Floating the Pork"?

                              Don't grind until you're ready to make the drink otherwise you can lose flavour.

                              Someone picks these things up, Nagy Vilmos is my 'nom de net' and Nagy certainly would be a surname; it is in fact very common in Hungary and means Big so I am Mr Big. Vilmos is just William, my name, in Hungarian.

                                That is where the name came from. When I was first out in Budapest my nickname was Big Willy and that morphed into Nagy Vilmos.

                                    I think I see your problem. Have you tried actual coffee rather than freeze dried coffee flavoured crumbs out of a jar? (but yeah - agree with the loo thing.)

                                        Haha, I live with a few guys that have some Irish blood in them. There was definitely a lot of music from The Pogues played this past summer when we had parties. Generally, it was towards the end of the night after all the normal (read: boring) people left. :laugh:

                                          I don't drink coffee, can't abide the stuff in fact, but being the one who pops the little paper cap on a jar of coffee is one of life's little pleasures. Also, being the first to use the loo at work after the cleaner has been in attendance. Getting a good night's sleep without the Great Snoring Beast From Kent keeping me awake all night is cool too. Waking up late and panicking before remembering that it is a Saturday, or putting on a jacket that hasn't been worn for a while and finding £10 in a pocket. These are all examples of LLP's. What else do you find gives you a momentary easing of the stresses and strains of your day?
