  • My father caught my smoking weed at the back of the house at 16 after I had finished a shift at 0300 glass collecting in a local nightclub. He looked pissed and said we’ll talk in the morning. The next morning he sat me down and said he smoked weed until I was three years old.
    His advice was.
    “smoking weed is fun and can help you relax but you must always remember that there’s more to life and weed may stop you from seeing that, stop you from doing the important things in life, so don’t let it become your entire personality.”


  • I’ve always been a night person. Absolutly useless first thing in the morning. Then I got a job working nights and it just seemed so natural.
    Then as I got older I got a job working offshore, working nights. So I get to wake up at 1400, have a cup of tea, go to the gym, do some other stuff before starting shift at 1830 - 0630. Then go straight to bed, and not have any disturbances until I wake up.
    Yeah, the first night it a bit tough having traveled to work through the day then staying up all night and when I get home turning around to regular life can take a couple days but melatonin helps a lot with that.
    I have a friend who works as a night porter in a hotel and has to sleep at home with his family doing stuff during the day, he always looks tired and I don’t think it’s healthy for him to continue that long term. I think some people are wired for days and some for nights but they still need to get proper rest whenever it is that suits them.
    I read a book by the author of fight club called “Rant” where society was split into dayshift and nightshift due to overpopulation, doesn’t seem like such a bad idea to me.
    Also, if you work nights make sure to take vitamin d supplements.

    You’ve missed out the Scottish snow badger. Like the regular European badger but about a third larger and completely white to blend into their (now disappearing) snowy highland habitats.
    They are the sole reason hard plastic shell ski boots were invented after it was found that snow badgers have no problem biting through the old leather ski boots we used to use.
    They hibernate through the summer months and only come out to hunt during the winter so it’s very hard to get a photo of them.






  • I gave my wife a ring made out of coconut. Cost me $2 and she instantly dropped it off the balcony if the resturaunt we were at. The Thai owner of the place climbed off the balcony into the boulder field underneath and spent 20 minutes looking for it. Even after I explained that it was only a cheap coconut ring. He said the price isn’t the point, it’s the memories!
    He found it, what a legend.
