    That they are. Massively, every year too, the fuking idiots <laugh>


    Apple iPhone use walks into a bar and asks for the same drink he bought last year and pays double
    .. Basically.

    My android allows me to download fully paid apks of apps like Spotify premium, YouTube premium and various others that iPhone will make you pay for. All for free.

    Yet people still buy that ****.... Make it make sense<doh>

    It's just a marketing gimmick, cult following and keep the price high because they will pay it. Can't blame Apple tbph, but what I do blame the company for is some of their less than savoury technical glitches they cause so users have to update. I think they benefited from the early days of grabbing more than their fair share of the market and because there products are all compatible and exclusive the brand survived and thrives. Android has moved on massively now though and Apple isn't the power it once was and it's no surprise the Americans will try and slander the Chinese in anyway possible.

    Morning.

    Looking forward to a day of zero beer.

    Got Swansea v Luton to endure, so will be tough!

    Haven’t touched a drop over Xmas. In fact I’ve pretty much knocked booze on the head completely.

    I’ll have a drink when I next go up to Dartmoor with the lads. But I can’t say I’m missing it at all.

    I wouldn't say I've woken up at any point with regret.
    It's not been getting pissed boozy, it's just been one thing after another steady. Like it is over Christmas, basically.

    I like a wine, no doubt, but at the moment can take or leave a beer as there aren't enough places around sell decent stuff.

    Even yesterday, played golf and had a couple of pints of a local brewery beer (Gower) and it just wasn't that great. At least the price was reasonable.

    Going the match today, not drinking their beer.

    This has been a few months coming for me. I’ve just been drinking less and less as even a few beers was leaving me feeling jaded the next day.

    I was having a few beers on a Saturday night after market, just to unwind play some tunes and relax, but it got to the point where I was just doing it out of habit.

    I’d say I feel mentally refreshed and physically alert, but I’m still shaking this horribly lurgy so can’t even claim that lol

    Had something like that yesterday - youngest was out to 2am so no drink for me until after I got her home (pissed as a fart to boot) ... a very drinkable vanilla rum before climbing into bed ...

    On the no drinking tangen; if you're into cider, Waitrose do the best 'non-alcohol' I've had (include beers in that) - it's own brand and is actually 0.1% ...and when nicely chilled tastes very much like the real thing rather than just fizzy apple juice like many others ...
