Surfing Waves

I'm currently on 30.5 hours and counting and still full of beans

Had an assignment to write, its not due in till next wednesday but i'm away at Brents all next week so i had to hand it in today. It took literally all night, came into uni at about 7.30 this morning, only for a friend to offer to hand it in for me if i emailed it to her next week. Didnt know whether to laugh or cry (so i ate some chocolate; always a good compromise)

Anyways, i reckons some of you guys and gals might have had some fairly epic clubbingfests (yes i'm talking to you Broosta), thesisfests, drugfests/ surfests/workfests etc

So whats the longest you have managed?

Go to bed woman - I've got lots of housework for you to do in the next few days - and the lawn needs mowing...

This is great... we got a propper forum couple now ;)

Moi?





























3 days... I think, can't remember clearly... Sleep depravation messes up your head just as much as any tablets you can find to eat, erm especially when you already ate the tablets...













Remember kids its not big and its not clever.
I haven't done that sort of thing for 10yrs now!
At the moment I go without sleep due to bloody night shifts!













Know your enemy.

YUM YUM......what lovely looking sweeties!

A couple of years ago was doing a night shift cabbing in London; after my shift I had to fly to Dublin, pick up a rental car to go to my Grandma's funeral an hour away, stayed for one drink at the wake (how rude), drove back to Dublin, had an argument with check in because they wanted to charge me 100 euros for my little 6'2, (they didnt charge me in the end), flew to Madrid to catch a connecting flight to Barcelona to meet my girlfriend. (I was living there at the time and driving a cab in London!)

My board wasnt there in Barcelona, so I had to fill in loads of forms. It was 2am and we were catching a 7am flight to Tenerife.

After realising my board was 'lost' and being told they would send it to the hotel in Tenerife, I went to my girlfriend's house for what I thought would be a couple of hours sleep. She hadnt packed her board and wanted advice on what bikinis to bring (for a week's holiday??). That was the last thing I needed after nearly 40 hours of no sleep (I cant sleep on planes)

Anyway....got to Tenerife and slept for 3 days and the board arrived the day before we left!! And then I split up with my girlfriend after 8 years together!!

January 2002 - 76 hours - spent the whole time playing about on the laptop (know it was this long cos I had dial up at the time and the counter told me how long i'd been online). Then slept for 2 days solid, woke up not knowing what day it was.

The only time I bothered getting up off the sofa was to go to the loo or warm up a can of soup lol

39 hours - then slept solidly for 22

30ish hours not really sure on any exact times...due to long parties or similar type school projects.

Made it to about 40 hours and then went to bed at about 10pm because i felt like i should, didn't even feel that tired.

Woke up this morning 7ish with a splitting headache though....

Brent- You're having visions of grandeur (sp ) - you dont have a lawn remember

About 3 days.


Know your enemy...!




p.s love the picture broosta, but it's missing the classic - double doves. Possibly the most famous ever.

3 days as well for me

double doves wernt any thing special the pink champain and china whites on the other hand were the best id ever done, also tulips that i had in amsterdam in 2001 were really potent. wont touch the crap anymore though

3 days with no sleep at all is my record as well, i was at a festival and wanted to get my moneys worth, with the help of a few substances along the way it was easily done!

bad idea tho because i was helping my old school with there gold duke of edinburgh expeditions the day after and my old teahers were not impressed when they had to stop the minibus for me to be sick!

About 3 days at a festival or just the odd weekend packed full of partys

Jennie, the odds of you being who I think you are are pretty remote, but did you used to have a best friend called Kirsty....? You're from Virginia Water?

hmmmm i did have a good mate called kirsty.... but she wasnt from virginia water tho...so im sure maybe i am who you think i am, maybe im not!

do you poi? Did you ever go to bagleys wearing big furry boots?

Your mate Kirsty's dad is/was a policeman?

hehe as much as i want to say yes that...unfortunately i havent and didnt i think you are thinking of someone else, sorry!

hope you find who your looking for!

I'm not looking for her, it was just that something you said really reminded me of an ex girlfriends best friend, and the name and location fitted.

Whereabouts in London are you anyway? And doesn't it suck living so far from decent surf?!!?!?!!?

Holey moley it sucks living away from decent surf! it was my last chance to go down to bournemouth today but yet again its flat...im living just south of london at the moment in Surrey, how about you?

West London. Staines way, but I'm planning on moving a little further into town shortly - Kingston, Twickenham way.

By south, do you mean out by Gatwick?

I hear the surf on the south coast sucks! It's only a 2.5 hr drive from here to Croyde / Saunton...
