I gave up twenty years ago. My heaviest use was twenty a day during the week (in the days when you could smoke in the office) and forty a day at weekends. I can't really offer advice as I stopped whilst I was travelling in Indonesia, I was ill one day and after that I just didn't want to smoke for some reason. Since then, I've occasionally cadged a ciggie from someone else, and three times I've actually bought a pack of ten and chainsmoked them, but apart from that I'm not tempted even when drinking. I do think it helps that my current partner and most of my friends don't smoke, though, plus the no-smoking law in pubs etc. means I'm less likely to smell cigarette smoke.

Are there any open mic/acoustic nights around? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you're into folk-influenced music, we have monthly nights Upstairs at the Mag (at The Magnolia on Lordship Lane) on a Friday when we have floorsingers/musicians. It's not open mic as there isn't a mic :)) You can check us out on our website www.thegooseisout.com The next one is on Friday 10 September. If you want to sing/play, come down when the doors open at 8pm and put your name down. Depending on the number of people who want a spot, you will get at least one song and possibly more. The acoustics are great, and it's a nice supportive audience. :)-D

Yeh mine was very small, with a little brown leather cover, and an earpiece on a string :)) So not too hard not to wake M & D :) Was great when Radio Caroline and Radio Atlanta (?) came along though, not to mention the Perfumed Garden and Mr Peel, I was able to desert Horace Bachelor (sp?) for ever :))

Marvellous. xxxxxxxxxx I so so didn't want to know that - oh please, someone, bring back a retro pub with real ales, darts and a juke box ..... Don't care about the pool cos I'm crap at it :))

I can't be arsed to read all this, but I don't give a f**k if anybody quotes anything I've ever posted on this forum, I don't hide behind some made-up name and a load of ED people know who I am anyway :) I stand by everything I've ever posted. Out and proud! :)-D

This was the spray I used: Water-based moth spray It kills any adult moths and larvae on contact, but it also remains effective on where you spray it for a fortnight (or more, I can't remember) so any eggs hatching out during that time will also be zapped. You are advised to wash any clothes after this time before you wear them again, though I think that's probably being ultra-cautious. It appears to be a relatively safe chemical, but I used the gloves and mask provided anyway :))

giggirl Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- >when I gave up on it I think I > understood it more. xxxxxxx Yeh, like life :)

I gave a link on the other forum thread, but here it is again. Pest Control Supermarket If you phone them and explain your exact problem, they will advise on what to use, but there is full info on their website so best to look at that first. You may need something different from me. I used their water-based spray becuase it was suitable to use on my wallhangings, but there are other options. I also bought some paper sheets from them to put amongst my jumpers etc.. These do not smell as nice as lavender and cedarwood sachets (they don't smell at all!), but unlike the scented sachets I haven't found any moths crawling over them apparently quite happily :)) Touch wood I have seen no moths - male (flying) or female (crawling) - for some time now. I would have preferred not to use a chemical, but enough was enough. Hopefully I have now eradicated the problem.

It had a jukebox, a dartboard xxxxxxx I so wish you hadn't told me all that ...... That would have been my evenings taken care of for ever - assuming the jukebox had decent music, of course :)

The same thing has happened to some of my tee shirts, and I have had a big problem with moths eating cushion covers, wall hangings and clothes. I also at first thought the holes in the tee shirts were due to some other cause, but now I'm pretty sure it's moths. See this thread I spent a fortune on Colibri moth repellent sachets in John Lewis, and they did not work. Pheromone sticky traps did not work for me either. By all means try these things, but the only thing which has worked for me is chemicals, I'm afraid. Be aware that it only takes one moth to escape to cause a whole new infestation.

So was everyone else who worked there, in my experience.

Hoopers always has a range of real ale, which seems to be properly kept :)
