Peedrenaline

I’ve created a new, groundbreaking scientific theory today.
Peedrenaline.
I’d imagine most people know about adrenaline. It’s the fight or flight reflex that makes your reactions quicken and you can feel stronger and more alert. Peedrenaline does the same thing, as I discovered on the way home today.
I decided it would be a good idea to drink about 4 pints of water at work today, and not pee, and just wait till I got home. Just after I got my bike unchained, the water suddenly kicked in, and I cycled the fastest I think I ever have, and my body didn’t hurt or burn (well, except for my bladder, which seemed to be saying in a Scottish accent “Cap’n, we can’t take much more of this!”).
So basically, if you need to exert yourself physically or mentally, drink loads of water and don’t go for a pee first. It’ll make you into some bizarro Superman whose kryptonite is releasing your bladder.
Now that I’ve pioneered this scientific discovery, I predict peedrenaline junkies, who will hold as much urine in as possible, just for the rush (hopefully mental rather than liquid), although, it seems, Neil Costley has been doing this for a fair while already.

Admittedly Mike, everytime I see you I am desperate for a pee, but you have to understand that I drink up to 4 LITRES of water a day at work, which predetermines highly regular toilet breaks!
I do understand that.
However, you just seem to be justifying your carefree life of danger as a peedrenaline junkie, and I, for one, think you should be ashamed.
I will confess that I too consume a ridiculous amount of water. The last 30 seconds before you HAVE to go to the loo are filled with the clearest though-making processes and the quickest typing in the world.
gotta go…..
