Have you heard of, or indeed ever tried, any bizarre ideas to give you energy?

On Saturday morning, Vernon Kay suggested "hugging trees". It seems if you do this, you will be totally energised. I've had a smash at it this morning.... and.... NOTHING! hmmmm.

[MK Chris]

Haha I now have an image of you going round attempting to hug random trees.

I find if I sleep (or even just rest in general), I get quite a bit of energy! You should try it, it's mad.

[Vivienne]

Just you to "pounce" on a new thread. You're always first in, aren't you.

[Console]

Haven't you accused me of that before? Both cannot be true.

As for 'bizarre' ways of getting energy, there are some people that get energy (or at least some sort of sugar solution) through an IV, although this isn't so much 'bizarre' as it is rare, and it's usually because of medical reasons.

[Vivienne]

OK then, you are tophs are the worst!! Joint first.
And you are both classified "thread wreckers".

[Yudster]

I had a can of Red Bull once.

[Vivienne]

Red Bull is the stuff. I was buzzing with a can of that.

[Yudster]

It just gave me a headache.

[MK Chris]

I wouldn't say drinking an energy drink is a bizarre way to get energy.

What about eating, apparently when you eat, your body gets energy from food, I mean how crazy can you get.

[Yudster]

It was a bizarre way to get a headache though. But I guess that wasn't the question.

Sarcasm is not becoming.

[Yudster]

It possibly could be construed as bizarre that one of the best ways to energise yourself is to exercise. I know beyond a shadow of doubt that however grotty and tired I feel, I will feel a hundred times better after a run. Knowing it is one thing though.......

[Vivienne]

Baths can work wonders, because the water causes endorphines to be released into the bod. That, and squeezing and punching my water hippo.

[foot-loose]

I have found that going for a shower tends to waken me up. That and having something to eat. Red bull wakens me up but its not properly awake. Its like being awake because you can't sleep - thats not safe when driving.

That, and squeezing and punching my water hippo.

Is that a euphemism?

[Vivienne]

No, foots, it's not a euphemism. It's a little water toy I've got - you fill it's little body with water, then start squeezing.

[foot-loose]

[Vivienne]

O. you're thinking of "sex toys".... it's not one of those. I have done "carrot in water" scenario though.

[Yudster]

Is it not time for some kind of disclaimer on this discussion?

[Vivienne]

sorry, I have a pink face now.

[Console]

I find it amusing that Viv thinks me and Topher are 'thread wreckers' despite us staying on topic, and yet, on the same page, it has arrived at this nonsense.

I think the clue is in the thread title.

[Vivienne]

It's about time you lightened up... that's half your problem.

[Vivienne]

Sorry, foots, that one's for Console.

[Yudster]

Do you have a weight problem then Console?

[Vivienne]

He has too heavy a brain. There's no light, fluffy side which he needs to get. Sometimes it's good to be a bit mad.
