Can you get a hangover from films?

I’m still recovering from my movie marathon madness. I made it through the full 24hours, but not without incident. Buttock cramp set in midway and kept coming back intermittently. It’s hard to enjoy the remake of ‘Psycho’ when you feel like someone’s been kicking you in the arse for a fortnight. I got really tired early evening so I decided to ramp up my coffee intake, completely ignoring the fact that I’ve always been very sensitive to caffeine. From then on, my toilet breaks ended up about 10minutes apart, and I started hallucinating at about 8pm.
Oh well, it’s done now.

I’m under pressure from work to shave. I explained that I was trying to grow a beard for the first time, and that these things can’t be rushed, and that the best kinds of foliage are the ones that are left un-trimmed and allowed to grow naturally. I also pointed out that I don’t have face-to-face contact with customers so it doesn’t really matter what I look like, but they don’t share my opinion. Tom’s strange beliefs probably include a hatred of beards on sanitary grounds, so I may have to give in. To be honest, it has started to get incredibly itchy, and my stubble keeps getting caught on my zip, so I’ll be glad to be shot of it. But I’m reminded of a pearl of wisdom from my uncle – “Once you’ve had a beard, clean-shaven feels weird.”
Actually, it may have been my aunt.
