After 24 hours, when I'd got through all the 'trigger points' in the day when I'd normally spark up, like waking up, walking to the station, coffee breaks, post-prandial, etc.

that quickly?

I've heard that the body can give up pretty quickly - it's the brain that tells you you want one.....
Maybe that's why it was not a problem for RR..........

Very amusing!

Did somehting strange just happen - one minute I looked and all the times said 11 something - and then they went back to 10 something - or is it me?????

Have you had something to drink already this morning?

that real ale's real tasty you know...

I hate to point this out to someone who works in the travel industry, but Shanghai is in a different time zone.........

Nope! It just means that Plum's morning is Rory's late afternoon / evening, so he may well have had a little tipple.

but I think Rory's problem was that it went from 11 something to 10 something. Hardly possible in the early evening...?

Blimey, this is getting confusing!

I think that Plum was inferring that Rory may have been imagining things, due to a possible intake of alcohol. Plum also thought it was a little early to have had a drink, it being morning.

I was pointing out that it wasn't morning in Shanghai, so it would have been OK for Rory to have had a drink. Whether or not this putative drink might have affected his (Rory's) perception of the passage (forwards or, more unlikely, backwards) of time is another matter entirely.

OK?

Phew.....

Is it time for a beer yet??

Oh, and it's the forum clock which was causing confusion. Even when observed from Shanghai, the clock shows BST or GMT, I would think. Probably.....
