I need the shower first thing. Only then am I properly awake. And yet my gf has her shower the last thing before going out, to be "totally clean before I face the world". Weird eh?

Shower first, no question about it. Well, on weekdays at least that I have to get up and go out and get to work.

At the weekends, lie in, coffee and chocolate croissants in bed, and try to hit the shower at least by noon.

I don't have a shower, cuz I live in an old apt. building, so I have my breakfast in the bath.

Make coffee, shower and then breakfast if there is time.

shower first, ask questions later. I am completely more useless than normal without a shower.

If I could be bothered to get up five minutes earlier, then I'd have coffee before shower. But I'm lazy and hit snooze, so I end up having to grab coffee while I make breakfast. :-(

Shower after breakfast. If I don't have half an hour with tea, toast and John Humphrys I move *really* slowly in the bathroom and I end up being late for work. Added bonus: if you shower after breakfast, you can clean your teeth in the same bathroom visit.

Breakfast? What's that?

Dom OTM.

Don't you know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yadda yadda?

― Citizen Kate (kate), Thursday, 6 November 2003 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Thats why I make the coffee, shower and drink it afterwords.

First you plant the seed, then you grow the seed, and then you sow the seed and then you end up with an army of Neils.

Life's too short. Eat breakfast first.

y'know what's awesome if you don't have time to EAT a proper breakfast?
those yogurt tubes. they're fun (cuz they come in a tube) and they're slightly sweetened (cuz they're for kiddies, who always need MORE energy).
Yogurt tubes are the best! You can even eat them IN THE SHOWER!!!

I mean, technically, you can't really go to Greggs for a steak bake and then have a shower now, can you?

steak bake?

― Annouschka (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 6 November 2003 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Erk yogurt tubes. They were handing out free samples of 'em at Victoria station a while ago and I got a couple. All I could taste was the plastic.

Do not speak to me before I've had my shower or you might die horribly.

Is that because of your morning grumpiness or your bodacious body odor?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 6 November 2003 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I suppose it also depends on how early I get up, and if HSA is up before me. (Which happens very rarely indeed, I might assure you.) Because if he nabs the shower before I do, then I'll have breakfast first.

― Citizen Kate (kate), Thursday, 6 November 2003 15:38 (twenty-one years ago)

shower first. i eat breakfast either at or on the way to work.

Bah, shower together to save time!

Though it rarely works that way.

Wake up, then sleep some more, then leave without enough time for shower or breakfast.

― A Nairn (moretap), Thursday, 6 November 2003 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

shower first, 4:30am. Its the only way for me to effectively wake up.

― Chris Hungus (Chris V), Thursday, 6 November 2003 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Varies. During weekdays, a roll and a glass of OJ, then a shower. Weekends, shower first by all means, then go out and get breakfast.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 November 2003 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread is, in a sense, merely a variation on the age-old theme of "Do you prefer to shit before or after a meal?". Unless people are going to work with dirty bums.

During the week it has to be shower first (i eat breakfast at work) & at the weekends it's usually the other way round.

Careful Dan, I might not have showered yet...

*hums*

― j0e (j0e), Thursday, 6 November 2003 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I like to take a hot bath on a rainy morning like today.

I tend to eat breakfast at my desk during the work week, so I'm always clean at that point.

Christopher Isherwood says having a shower and getting dressed before breakfast is the only cure for laziness.

Dom, you still haven't answered the steak bake question. We demand answers!

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Thursday, 6 November 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Greggs- nationwide British bakery chain. Steak bake- perennial favourite of students, office workers, and builders, being as it is a hunk of pastry, and all the bits of the cow that McDonalds didn't want, coated in some brown water that they call gravy. Can be served in one of two ways by the staff, either stone cold, or so hot that it tears the skin off the roof of your mouth and you can't taste anything for the next two days. Classic.

set the percolator, take the shower, drink the coffee while dressing up, with brakfast as a hidden bonus track
