There was a programme on TV when I was a kid about this boy (can't remember his name).

He had a Torch that was Magic, and I'm not talking Rabbits out of Hats either.

Was a massive insomniac for 4/5 years and this stuff kept me awake, now have the unusual ability to survive off less than 4 hours sleep per night for over a week as my body is now used to sleep deprevation.

All good fun and means staying up to all hours doesn't affect my work!!!

I like Tho the first couple of years almost drove me insane


Surely if you were an insomniac taking Proplus ain't gonna hepl????


Kept me awake at work and got see all the pretty colours swirling round the office, surprising enough I did some of my best work whilst in that state...... go figure

tuttle.
I often choose forum names from characters/things from books or films that I find interesting. I'm a big Terry Gilliam fan. Tuttle was a character (a kind of sewage terrorist) from his most excellent & dark '80s film Brazil.

Cos I'm a girl and I like fast aeroplanes (fighter jets and Concorde!) and I was hiding on an aviation forum (didn't want to use the name that most know me by), decided to use the callsign for British Airways , ie Speedbird, but it was taken so modified it slightly and it became Speedchick.

Mine, incase you wondered, is a colloquial term for oxy acetylene cutting equipment, which I love using. (Or just melting things for the crack )
