I'm so close to the end of my task, your jibes can't hurt me now karter. I'm basking in the moral superiority of sobriety.

Have to go out with a friend tonight in gypsy hill and he's the sort who is more interested in food than drink so we have to go for a curry...:(


I prefer to keep my stomach empty to squeeze in as much beer as possible. I'll have a popadom and a table full of Cobra.

Will your period of abstinence run alongside a self-imposed forum exile for the same time frame (on the basis that the forum is at its best/bearable and funniest/less irritating with a stiff livener on the inside)? Or will the forum become your substitute for a post-rush hour whisky and splash?

After this weekend the idea of No-drink-vember is starting to appeal...


I think it might usefully be twinned with a self-imposed temporary forum exile - none of this disappearing and popping up again like Huge and Quids though, the suspense is too much - just a calmly stated intent to forego posting for a fixed period... to see which part of you cracks first.

No-drink-vember starts tomorrow (oh, 73 btw) and I think I may take a stab at it.


Anyone else? Anyone for temporary exile? An edf sabbatical without the comfort of a hot toddy?


We could have a contest - like a tontine but whoever cracks before November 30th loses (loses/wins... nothing but pride in the knowledge one has mastered (a couple of-) one's appetites.


Did I say 73?


ETA: well you might consider it KT616 if only to give Mick Mack's short-term-memory-loss syndrome time to kick in...

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
