My extensive research of hangovers has led me to the conclusion that only two things can save you: 1) A small glass of port; 2) Sex. Both remedies are out of the question today because I drank all the port in the flat last night and I haven't had sex for 325 days."Sarah Sargeant has been single for three years and nine months.
