Those extra 20min in the lounge could of been another bacon roll and more booze.....
More booze at 7am? Proud of you!

As a rule, I'd watch the monitors in the lounge and not get up until it says "Flight Boarding" in green alongside your flight. Before then, nothing's happening. Even if there were some super-speedy boarding by everyone else, you're usually safe until at least 10 minutes before the departure time.
