Social Distancing Killed Santa's Office Party .... |
As this post is written with the bars still under the cold dead hand of the social distancing rules of Tier2 and Tier3, its possible that there will be no Christmas office parties, or after 'works, do's' .... such is the party killing impact of the new rules.
On the other hand, maybe the news that the social distancing nonsense has finally got an end in sight (albeit several months away), with a vaccine approved, means soon we are going to be like the English in 1660 ....
We'll Party Like 'tis 1660 Again ..... |
..... after puritan rule was removed with the coronation of Charles II, Ready To Party!!
However although this future hope is a truly good sign, one fact will remain hard and fast as ever .... despite the pub closures, the Christmas holiday season hangovers will still be a feature of the next two to three weeks in many peoples lives.
So, in a spirit of goodwill to all drinkers, and those who have to wake up with them, here is a scientifically proven hangover cure. It comes in the form of a cocktail .... of plant extracts which was developed by a team at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Germany ... vorsprung durch alkohol indeed!
You need to mix up a combination of :
- Barbados Cherry,
- Prickly Pear,
- Ginkgo Bilboa,
- Willow and
- Ginger
Those who could arsed to bother with this cure, reported a
- 34 per cent drop in headache intensity,
- 42 per cent drop in the feelings of nausea, and
- 41 per cent drop in 'restlessness'
As this is purely subjective reporting by the trial participants, and the fruit cocktail cure is expensive to create, even if you can find all the ingredients, I suspect that unless someone bottles and sells it, this 'cure' will stay strictly in the lab.
Happy Holiday Season .... and pass the aspirin!
I have borrowed the office party picture. Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThat's fine ...I made it from a couple of images and my imagination, so I'm happy for it to fly the nest.
DeleteHappy Christmas / New Year to you as well.
