A mate of mine got up for work after putting the clock forward 1 hour when he should have put it back clocked in at 4.00 am instead of 6.00 oh how we pissed ourselves

Twas Wed, 8 Sep 2004 07:29:55 +0100 when "Andy.Smalley" put finger to keyboard producing:

I was once working 12 hour shifts, I was knackered at one time and went to bed only to wake up about 20 minutes later and look at the clock "s*1t I'm late!" it was winter so dark outside so I thought nothing of it, the land rover had just demisted as I reached the first roundabout 5 miles away and I noticed (I don't recall how) that I had not overslept but had only been in bed for 20 minutes...

luckily it was such an unearthly hour no-one saw me.

I enjoyed being a student. I bought my first Land Rover (with my wages from my placement year) and played Bass Guitar in a band. It was an ace time ..... apart from all that studying stuff they made us do.

My final year project had to be handed in by 15:30 on a Tuesday. I went to bed on Saturday night but was up by 8am on Sunday and stayed up until 4pm on the Tuesday after handing in the project (which had a year's worth of work condensed into about 6 weeks.) At 4pm I crawled into bed and fell asleep.

A few hours later I woke up and glanced at the radio alarm clock. It was 7:05. Excellent! Just in time for The Archers, so I switched on the radio.... and heard the Today programme. It was Wednesday morning. Apparently my housemates did try to wake me up for our "end of project" beer session but I wouldn't stir.

I think most students do that!. I've never slept so well as i did after i handed my final years project in! I slept for just over 24 hours too :)

Didn't sleep properly for about 48 hours after my finals - too much Coke and Pro Plus.

OTOH I managed 18 hours of oblivion after last years MENCAP National Rally. I must be getting on!

Was it worth going home for an extra cuppa? I managed the trick of turning up an hour early (on purpose) last winter, to realise that I had forgotten the building key. Home was 20 minutes' drive away, so it was almost exactly not worth going home, and I had to sit in an icy car park and wait for the other keyholder to arrive. To make matters worse, the work I had come in early to do was inside the building, soi I couldn't even get on with it in the car. Arse.
