Random Irritations

This particular can (Monster Ultra) has 150mg of caffeine apparently. Is that a lot? I have no idea. It can't be that different to other people drinking 2 or 3 cups of coffee can it?
Not an expert but a quick google suggests that is equivalent to 2 x an average cup of coffee. Depends how many you have. The intensity is not great, gets the heart working a bit too much. 2 coffees spread out or 1 energy drink in one go? It helps that it is sugar free but they are still best avoided.

Nah mate, I'd be asleep on the desk. (I can't stand coffee so don't touch it.) It's not like I bomb the whole can in one go, it typically takes me 2 hours to sip through it. :D
 
For a change I listened to R5 on the way into work. There were two young people on talking about cultural appropriation. Two more self important people you will never hear. Complete garbage from start to finish. A group in society does not own a type of music, a hairstyle, a type of fashion. They are open to all. The listeners universally hammered them but they still were not interested. Muppets creating division in society when there is no need.

That must have been them in the phone in, I’ve never heard so much disrespect from a studio guest in all my years of listening to R5. I wanted to punch the car stereo at one point 😡😂
 
National BBC News, and some newspapers saying SNP leader is meeting with Prime Minister to discuss Brexit.
It is the same as saying the Scottish First Minister is meeting with the leader of the Tory party.
They are so out of touch and disrespectful that they would never report it using the correct format.

I would look at your diet and lifestyle if you need a can of monster or similar to keep you awake. I am caffeine free on tea and coffee, i use caffeine as a training tool. i used to drink way too much coffee, but knocked it on the head! Decaf all the way! My resting heart rate has dropped by 10bpm since doing it.

It's not really a mystery, I only sleep about 5.5 to 6 hours a night. If I go to bed any earlier I don't fall asleep anyway.

If my RHR dropped by 10BPM I'd probably be catatonic. It's only at 40 now!!! Looks like I need more coffee.
 
The Kent meet battled through gale force winds, sleet, rain, freezing temperatures for Sunday to yesterday. I live 30 miles away and this morning there's barely a breeze, sunny and mildish 😣😣😣😣

you are obviously very fit! Miguel Indurain (TDF winner) had a Resting heart rate of 29! Thats the lowest i have heard of. 40 is exceptionally low!!

I wish. I have a minor condition called Bradycardia. Results in a very low RHR. I have had it down at the mid 30's when ultra relaxed.
 
Carol on the BBC telling me its 9 deg up here... more like one or two at Most, i might have to even put the heating on at this rate, most def not shorts weather;)

That is ridiculously low. UFC Fighter Michael Bisping is famed for being one of the most physically fit mixed martial artists of all-time and his RHR got as low as 34, I thought that was impressive, 29 is crazyness.

Don’t drink caffeine too late on an evening and there’s no issue. Caffeine is essential to human life and the occasional boost to the system isn’t a major issue. Don’t believe the scaremongers. If you’re drinking one sugar free Monster a day, you’re fine. Nothing to see here.

Yeah I don't - just the one can in the morning at work.

You’ll be fine then, unless you’ve got some underlying health problems you aren’t sharing.

Caffeine can give us a good boost of physical or mental energy with no detriment afterwards.
