Don't Panic; it's Happy Towel Day....

grace
Think GNHQ have been having their own little panic .......... maybe not the best of days to ask for one though!!

We need a Don't Panic emoticon!
By the way, what is it with anniversaries in May? We had Star Wars day on 4/5 and now this

Barley wine gave us the best entertainment we ever had from my MiL. She thought it was an innocent tipple. Was she wrong....! evil

Don't Panic! DON'T PANIC!!? [manic grin emoticon]

Think I'd better find a Happy Towel for it's calming qualities.

(In Hitchhiker world it can have any quality I ascribe to it, can't it?).

Blasts and fogs! GN keeps logging me out! The cheek!

Nope. I've got a good imagination. Don't need the experience.

Not something to put on your bucket list, Bags!

Never had a hangover [smug]

Oh yes! I remember barley wine hangovers......

Oh man; you'll have me a pill popping alcoholic by the end of the day ! I know that stuff you take for toothache should never be combined with alcohol [metronidazole?] but, ever since being told by my doctor that, if I did I'd wish I'd never been born I somehow keep wondering how anything could be that bad......not as bad as a barley wine hangover, surely, which I can still remember forty year later after a night of hanging my head out of my flat window thinking that someone was hitting me over the head with a hammer....

oops, gotta check some burgers....!

Yes, I understand about the enhancing effects (central nervous system depressants, etc). I was extremely careful at first until I found out what the actual effect, if any, was on me. Like most advice, one treats it with respect . I expect that's why I'm still here to tell the tale.

According to the gospel that is wikipedia, someone who has their towel with them is in control and is highly respected within the hitchiking community. It also has a lot of uses and it's easier to carry a towel around for a day rather than wearing a dressing gown, which would look odd in some professions [some?].

It enhances the effects with some! Makes you very I'll with others.

I know you're not supposed to take pills with alcohol ...so I take mine with water, then have the alcohol!!

But ...often it makes the medication stronger ...rather than preventing it from working ...or is that just wishful thinking?

Pymms! What a god idea!

Oh mine do preclude alcohol but I've ignored the preclusions for decades without it being a problem. One just needs to be aware and careful.

After lunch, a nice cold Pymms to the memory of Douglas Adams will go down very nicely. Am taking such a lot of tablets, but have looked at instructions and don't think any of them precludes alcohol. Cheers!

Ok crimson ...I get the dressing gown reference but not the towel ...why towel day? There are so many other good links to the stories

Not addicted to either.

Oh s*d the codeine! I take it too but I still drink . Cheers, crimson.

Something about it first being celebrated two weeks after his death and has continued to do since then. Why did I know nothing about this till now? Parades in Edinburgh with people carrying towels and wearing dressing gowns etc. Why all this fuss about the Jubilee and something as important as this has been overlooked? Definately a party next year. And, if I wasn't on the codeine for my leg I'd raise a glass to him today; I know, I'll just take an extra tablet to celebrate. Not that it's addictive .....

The answer to your question Bags is '42'!!
