Quids - may I remind you that this is a Friday Night Dad's club - not an AA meeting. Goodness gracious.


To be honest I should think the same, but for me the recommended units is too low to achieve, or even want to achieve. I think you can drink more than is recommended but as you say with big drinking in the past you have to be careful of your overall health. Fortunatley I have never been a smoker and I think smoking and drinking is a very a bad combo.

Yeah, you've youth on your side Keef, so you can go back on the razz when the kids are older ;-)


To be honest getting up with babies with a hangover is only doable once every so often for me nowadays, but I was still putting away a fair bit just by drinking a few cans everynight, so now I'm only drinking weekends or if I go out in the week, which is pretty rare nowadays but I'm not deliberately avoiding it if you see what I mean. So, I went to football the other day and had a few beers but Mon-Thursday if i'm at home...niente!

Sorry Keef - did not know you were "in the house" - I know you like a ciggy, but the above post was not aimed at anyone. Having become a dad again this week, it makes me think of my own Dad and it was the ciggies that were the end of him i'm afraid. He stayed clear of booze as there is a bit of it in our family history, but the ciggies are really worth giving up (imo).

I'm afraid I think Fosters nowadays seems very watery. About 10 years ago I stopped buying stella and switched to Carling as the beer I would have in the fridge generally - think that was a good move as after 2/3 cans of stella you would actually feel it having a significant effect, so tend to avoid it.


Friday night dad's club I'm usually Carling - tonight I feel I deserve a large whisky (even the midwife said so, so its medically prescribed, so to speak.)

I was on Grolsch and Gaymers last night, 3 of each. Plus a joint. Feeling fuzzy today! I'm actually buying an xbox in the hope that it'll stop me sitting watching crap on telly and just drinking for the sake of it. I am a youngish dad at 31, but I'm not feeling like it!

Is there anybody there ?


If you are quick - you will get the opening sequence of trainspotting on Film4 - with intro from danny boyle....play it loud.


I think I'll watch it until Archie scores that goal and try to focus on the goal and not Kelly Macdonald

    • ecde, what do you mean by outdoor water?   An outside tap?  If so, where's it being fed from?  Presumably from somewhere within the building; maybe somewhere you don't have control of or access to?   Is it meant to be for drinking?
    • You have an opportunity to set up a scheme to buy people's books,do you mean? And you will pay someone a huge amount to be allowed to set up the scheme? I don't understand. Is your final sentence unfinished? I buy a lot of books secondhand. If there's a particular book I want I always google to see if I can get it secondhand first. Quite often the book I get looks virtually new and unread, but much cheaper than if I had bought it new, even at a reduced new price. There are loads of places online with a huge selection of secondhand books. At least one of the websites  sells them via a number of different secondhand booksellers who all apparently  gain potential customers via their search online for a particular book. But I also give away a lot of books, either to friends or to charity shops (especially the Oxfam book shop in Herne Hill).  It would be a huge hassle to send them somewhere like you are suggesting, especially if you have to put in the details first. I suppose at least these days you can easily google to find out if any of them are worth anything. When my dad died, on behalf of the family  I took a carload of his books to Hay on Wye (I lived not far from there at the time) plus some of my old childhood books. They cherrypicked the ones they wanted and wouldn't take most of them, and I strongly suspect I wasn't given anything like they were worth. 
    • Slightly different but the second hand bookshop on Adys road / close to the corner with Maxted might be interested? https://www.books-peckham.com/
    • Thanks for posting, it reminded me of all the interesting survey work I used to do with these people
