My ex used to reply on Pro Plus to get him out of bed for lectures. The method is thus: keep a mug of strong coffee and two Pro Plus by your bed, and set your alarm for half an hour earlier than you really need. When it goes off, immediately down the coffee and swallow the Pro Plus, then go back to sleep. Half an hour later, you awake in the grip of a massive caffeine rush.

Wouldn't the coffee have gone cold by then?

That's a new one!
I find that putting the alarm the other side of the room does the trick for me. Once I'm up and have turned it off I try and tell myself that the worst bit is over now. Somehow, I can sleep through fire alarms, but my phone alarm wakes me up instantly.

My feet have to be on the floor with me stood up, preferably In another room for me to be awake. I can hold a perfectly normal (for me) conversation with someone and still be asleep.

The predictable spunking over the new ipod shuffle by the media. It's shit. You can't use your own headphones with it as they've moved the controls onto the ones that come with it (apple in forcing people to use their proprietary hardware shocker.) and why, for the love of all that's holy, do you need it to announce what you're listening to - I KNOW WHAT I'M LISTENING TO, I CAN * HEAR IT.

Just customers today. Far too many of them and many are annoying. I've just spent 13mins on the phone to a woman with the most grating Southern American voice who questioned and whined about everything and by the end of the call I was losing the will to live. And when I finally get a moment's peace to grab something to eat I find that my sandwich has cucumber on it which I hate. Grr.

Cheese and cucumber sandwiches were my choice all through uni. I still eat them today (just not for a good while now).

That sounds so good. I love cucumbers. They're so fresh and crisp. I can't stand mushrooms or eggplant yet nearly every vegetarian meal is comprised of them. Nasty, slimy buggers. Blegh.

I don't quite get why people would not like Mushrooms, they don't really have a strong enough taste to dislike to me.

Goats cheese is the stuff scraped from between the toes of the Devil. Mushrooms are lovely, but I hated them as a child. Aubergine (come on Sunny, eggplant??!) is ok as a filler ingredient as long as you don't overdo it, but its not my favourite thing.

I'm not keen on mushrooms, but I will eat them. Cheese from any animal is brilliant, the stronger the better.

Exchange the Brie from some runny French goats cheese and I'm with you all the way.

Goats cheese is wrong, it just tastes the same as goats smell!
