right. Going to try and see if I can get some sleep in between bouts of hacky coughing fits. Then if all goes well, I want to spend some proper time on GTAO tomorrow afternoon.

Night chaps!

EDIT: After I've finished perving over Chris Fawkes on the BBC weather report, of course...

Dammit, and now there's a very interesting document on bbc news about gay culture in Israel.

@ZuluHero

Welcome to the lurgee club mate!

Seriously though, hope you get better soon. Full on food poisoning is a horrible thing.

Sorry to hear that mate, rather you than me ;-)

Hopefully you are on the mend. As you can clearly see, us night owls are a highly intellectual bunch...

Heh thanks guys. normally i have no trouble sleeping, but my stomach is currently doing backflips. at least i can read and type tonight, but gaming is out of the question atm. just lying here on the sofa waching tv. at keast there are plenty of channels these days..even on bog standard freeview. i still remember the days of being up all night with only 4. those were even more hellish!

Dale you sit there perving at late night telly ;-)

I contemplate playing my Guitar, reading, writing a sonnet or two...and end up perving at the semi clad stunners in various music videos ;-)

Oh, I do other stuff as well, like writing, reading, and sometimes even baking.

But now I really am going to bed, otherwise my body clock really will be screwed for tomorrow (today?)

@BeardedGamerUK
But for a boy growing up the little red triangle programs were always worth a watch ;-)

I also loved Brookie for the first few years, at least until I found out girls have bumps at the front

Countdown, Brookside, Home and Away are what I remember from day one. Totally forgot about the red triangle films O.O The thing I liked about Channel 4 when it first started was that it was all new and it had a novelty value.

There has been a lot of really good stuff on Channel 4 and they have cancelled every last thing that I like, which seems a little vindictive on their part! All the good sport has gone and all the fun little programmes they used to show ages ago. House of Rock was a favourite

Had one of those "go to bed early ish, sleep fine till 4 and then spend two hours wide awake, then nod off just before the alarm goes off" nights.

Fucking annoying

I had one of those as well, only it wasn't voluntary, just fell asleep early and woke up about 4am

almost 3 days in a row now. I can understand the saturday night as I was wankered and all over the place, but Sunday and Monday too - it's just taking the piss

Nearly 4am and I'm still awake. For once I didn't fall asleep yesterday and wake up 5 hours or so later. The reason is I started playing Borderlands again the other day. Finished my most recent session about half an hour ago and played for getting onto 3 hours

Definitely going to bed now after some internet stuff.

I fell asleep about 9:30pm last night and woke at 3am. I'm up now until tonight, have an early morning appointment to attend as well. Time to fire up GTAV and finish off those Epsilon missions me thinks...

Sounds like a plan. ;-)

I have been awake since 2am, full of cold :-(

Up since 4am (and many times in between) with a restless baby. Was due to get up at 5.30am anyway, so thought I'd get up and head into work early. I'll be in the office before 8am,not bad from the Isle of Wight!

Up since 4am here. Got a half hour meeting in paris at 11:30. Spending most of the day travelling. Feel your pain with the restless baby dougs. Mine's been teething (for what seems like) 6 months or more!

Usually up at 5am. 6 if we're lucky!

Aye, teething here too I reckon. It's only really now that my 3 year old is starting to not get up early too (6.45 is a definite improvement on 5am!). Even then he wakes during the night with nightmares. Gah!

Edit: Paris for 30 mins, now that was made for a phone/video conference!
