I had lunch with two of my ex-colleagues today. The conversation they had made me feel a very odd mixture of amusement and despair. I hardly participated, I just kept ordering alcohol instead. I am just so tired of the massive overuse of "hateful" and "offensive". And the waiter was offensively slow with my drinks. Hateful bastard.

That's a common thing in Iceland. People meet at someone's place before going out and get hammered on the duty free alcohol which they buy at the airport whenever they fly back to Iceland. And then they go out, which is usually around 2am when all the nightlife starts in Reykjavik. Alcohol is prohibitively expensive there.

It's a common thing here too.  People get smashed at home then go out to the bars.  Only difference here is the bars close at 2am.  So they drink at home until about 10pm or 11pm then go to the bar or club and stay 'till closing.  Then go back home or back to the friend's house to drink more and play Xbox.   Xbox is so much more fun after a few drinks.

Ha! not much.  Alcohol makes everything fun until the morning after.

And a nice fry-up is the best remedy for the morning after for me.

Bacon and eggs over easy.  Big tall glass of tomato juice with tobassco sauce.  Hang over cure.
