Vodka

Or were you after something more constructive? If you were, I'd suggest vacuuming behind the telly. Come on, you know it needs doing.

I always find that finding something interesting to do helps.

Is this in the office or at home?

few ideas for the office:

Make whole squadrons of paper aeroplanes

Make a little man out of bluetack, and enact adventures for him. (eg. scaling the lofty heights of the computer)

Plan a gratiously complex escape plan to get you out of the office and too the nearest pub

starting to notice a pattern involving

I do have 2 bottles of pina colada next to me...

You could devise a plan to conquer the world with two bottles of pina colada...

I'm surprised you even had to ask.

I'm on the Stella tonight. I have the house to myself, so I thought I'd get some beers in.

hmmmmmmmmmm interesting

I was on the Stella, but have now moved on to a recently discovered bottle of Bells. Doesn't bode well for the morning.

I'm not bored, but have realised that I've become addicted to H2G2 over the weekend. Bye bye social life.

come on then every1 wats ur favourite

When in the pub:

Lager: Stella, 1664 if Stella not available. I'm not stupid enough to pay for bottled beer in a pub.
Spirits: JD & coke, Tequila (for those special nights), Pimms in the garden during the summer.

When relaxing at home:

Stella, cheap whiskey.

Is it just me or has (the Belgian) Stella become the English national drink?

Recite 'The Hunting of The Snark' from memory.

Get a matchstick, put it on the desk, to the right of the keyboard. Then, stand up and hop for a minute. Take the matchstick, in your left hand, between your thumb and forefinger, and hold it above your head and then fall to your knees. Then put the matchstick on the otherside of teh keybaord.Repeat as required til men in white oats arrive and eat the sardines.

Put a kipper in the air filter of your neighbour's car.

OK, I've been doing the matchstick thing for half an hour now, and the men in white oats haven't arrived yet, and I have sore knees. Oddly, my sardines have gone missing. Have one of you nicked 'em in place of a kipper?

You did remember to wear the sheepskin rug whilst doing it didn't you? Oh dear, myf fault, I rink I forgot to mention the sheepskin rug... knowing me I probably forgot to mention the pertunias as well <doh.

Even better if you use Swan Vestas
