What provisions have you got in to see you through till 4.30 a.m??

I'll kick things off.....

I've decided to go the sophisticated route tonight. I've invested in two bottles of Chardonnay.......not just any Chardonnay.....Marks and Spencers 'Gold Label' Chardonnay if you please.

My thinking is that sipping away on wine instead of guzzling beers like I normally do will help me to avoid conking out before Khan puts a hurting on MM in the early hours. The problem with drinking beer at home is I just keep downing them without thinking and then suddenly I'll be drunk enough to think ''I'll just grab 40 winks before the Khan fight''......then the next thing you know you've woken up cold on the sofa at 5.45 a.m and you've even forgotten to Sky plus it. No, sipping fine wine over the space of the evening is a better strategy, I'm convinced of it. :hey

Food wise, I'm still not sure. I'm still trying to formulate the right crisp/dip combinations that will keep me interested over a 10 hour period. I'll let you know when I get back from Sainsburys.

 

ive got loads of botttle in the fridge and a pizza for the oven and some crisps

ive had a couple red bulls and feel ready , the pizza may get a wide birth though and i may plump for a take way

 

my mum is making me meat balls :good

i got some beers but as ive had a few already I wana try sober up for Abit

i got some of those brown cans, the red bull wana-be energy drinks, to keep me awake, just in case

got loads of nibbles, cant wait :happy

 

See, I think pizza is a dangerous strategy. Get's you all bagged-up, then you get tired, then it's lights out. :-(

Chinese take-away is the answer. They never seem to fill you up anyway. You'll still have the pizza in reserve to have around 4 a.m if you need to. If you've lasted till then the adrenalin will have kicked in and there'll be no danger of nodding off.

 

See, it's 17.50 and you're already half cut!

Get on to water/juice now before you go too far. :yep

 

an oven thin crust pizza theres no danger of that but if orderd one then yes i could be looking at an early bath

i think ill keep myself peckish all night by steady eating nibbles than have the pizza around 12 , im uo for this so theres not much danger of dropping off

 

I usually for go a sleep and have the alarm on 30mins before the fight, then have some cereal or a sandwich after the fight.

 

I've invited Ricky hatton round for the night. Should esily make it through the night lol

 

im on the beer early aswell , but ill stay steady untill the action starts atleast

 

not quite half cut but not drinking til bout 8 half 8 now. ill only have a few 2nite anyway, try to stat sober for the boxing. i had to have a few pints today as rough as **** from last night

 

Iv been up since 5 this morning did some overtime time at work dont think il make it far, saying that I got loads of mates coming to mine so il probly wake up with no eyebrows.

Just goin to pick the ****s up now then to the shop and get the drink in I live near a kebab house so thats going be the food sorted lokking forward to it!

 

Beware the fine wine. It has habit of sneaking up on you. If the fights are lively , i think you'll struggle to just sip it and you could be done for.

 

I had to watch the repeat of Pac-Margo the next day for that very reason

 

i agree scotty i dont drink wine but the problem i always see with it is you drink it far too quick without even noticing then you goosed

 

There's an old trick I employ that I learned from our continental cousins.

I try to drink a glass of water with every glass of wine. Slows me down, keeps me more alert and, oddly, I seem to appreciate the wine more. Maybe because it helps to keep clearing my palate or something.

Jilly Goolden, eat your heart out.



(having said all that, I'm already pouring my third glass atsch)
