I just reread that one! "Straight"!
Love it. I love Dick Francis, even if I can never remember which I've read and which I haven't.
Now I want McDonald's for lunch, and I want it now.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cocaine is definitely the drug I'm tempermentally susceptible to being addicted to.
Huh. For me it'd be downers. Or maybe painkillers. I think. (As I haven't had much of the good stuff from either category.)

Speaking of, gossip in the office today is that cokehead!boss got barred from the hotel bar where most of the staff is living at the moment, for 'spending too much time in the toilet'...
Oh dear.

Cocaine can increase focus, and allow you to work through pain, so I think it could be useful in sports. It's basically a super upper, no? (Cocaine is definitely the drug I'm tempermentally susceptible to being addicted to.)
Go with Red Bull. Cheaper, and less likely to end your tennis career.

Haven't Tour de France cyclists been busted for meth use? (Many years ago.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I have a feeling a co-worker uses coke as a maintenance drug, but I have no proof. Well, other than the manic mood swings.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I've seen enough people on coke to think that I can reliably tell whether or not someone is doing it. I wish I could take all y'all up to the bar, point out a couple of people and say "Here, this is what it looks like."

Once a bunch of people (myself included) suspected a friend of doing cocaine, as he was constantly going out, despite working two jobs (and he was always out of money) and he had the mood swings thing too. Turned out he wasn't on coke. Oops. (eta: some folks did the intervention thing)
and... post 10000 crept up on me - hadn't noticed we were that close....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
No more Natter 54, but Natter 55 is right there, dammit:
