I believe I speak for every red-blooded male when I say in response to this story

THe worst is yet to come as the house needs to be resolved. However, thus far it has been great fun.

Glad you're well, Pedro. Good luck with the rest of the project. :thumbup:

It's really odd, because it's 18 months now since I quit and I haven't missed it for a second. It's bizarre. A bloke offered me a drag the other day and I had no interest in it at all. :shrug: I don't understand.

I do miss my cats, ever so slightly.

I saw a Scottish Springsteen tribute act a couple of weeks ago. Not great.....

Springsteen in a kilt. Clarence on bagpipes. Nice.

Or worse still it's an attempt to win Peter back and when it fails the real shítstorm commences - woman scorned and all that :-(

It took me years of having given up before I finally reached that stage. As you know, I could always be tempted by other people's (your) cigarettes for several years after having knocked the habit on the head.

These days, the idea fills me with disgust.

Oh, god! She's going to turn up at his door in thigh-high boots and a miniskirt. :-(

I used to work with a slightly mental married lady who lost a lot of weight and started dressing like this and flirting outrageously.


I had sex with her, obviously. :-(

Bruce is a fine scotch name, to be fair.

Springsteen not so much.

16 years since I quit and I could still murder one of the little ****s. Would be mortified with myself if I did though

I still have the occasional puff on my vape, but there's no nicotine involved, so I still enjoy the flavour of tobacco. i just don't fancy the idea of smoke.

Been 2 months, total cold turkey, 95% of the time I don't miss it, just once or twice a day I'd like one. It does seem far easier this time than previously
