    Still, 6 months off the booze is pretty good, eh?

    EDIT any Toby "you're a sad fat ginger pussy-whipped etc" comments will be deleted.

    That is good going, Jip. <badger>

    It's been fours years and a month for me, and I don't miss the stuff one bit.

    I was spending between £70-£100 five nights a week and I nearly killed myself on numerous occasions.

    Now I can spend more on crack.

    BTW, how do you not miss it? How long did it take before you stopped missing it?

    I'd had enough, Jip. You get that watershed moment in your life when you realise it's the bottle or your kids, your marriage and your livelihood.

    I had that moment and I never want to relive it, so the memory of being so close to losing it all keeps me sober.

    The only time I miss a drink is when I need to speak to a crowd, but luckily those occasions are few and far between.

    I'm a happy hermit for the most part.

    I've had that moment, POE. Skint, catching a bus into town and going from bar to bar nicking people's drinks before chucked out. Then walking ten miles home in the rain. That was supposed to be my wake-up call. But half a year later and I feel invincible again. Ah well, if I do end up getting thrown out, I'll have more time to write my opus! I'll win my wife back with the millions I earn. Or I'll spend it all on whores and booze. Either way, Jip wins <ok>

    Yeah, but she's not a Torsten Fink. And they're more submissive, apparently.

    It's like that internet meme, it shows a gorgeous bird, with a caption saying, "no matter how hot you think this girl is, there will be a man, somewhere, who is sick of her shit".

    Give it six months.

    Mind you, you are a Newcastle fan, so you're probably used to suffering <whistle>

    As men we are programmed to reproduce , you and i have both done this.
    My ex used to hate me and i would cry like a bitch because she stopped me from seeing my kids, as soon as i found another woman we are now good friends.
    Women are odd men are predictable fat ****s.
