Why not do as you have been told, and give up alcohol whilst on drugs. Are you an alky(?):)-D You should be grateful someone has taken the trouble to prescribe them in the first place, giving up the booze for a few days sounds like it will do you a lot of good. You are going to a lot of trouble to persevere, perhaps if you took the same amount of energy to cease, you would be the better for it.

I came here from Derby and it's rugged countryside, via a two year stop over in Birmingham. When I arrived I moved into a rooming house, shared of course because of the cost and never looked back. I suffered a few miserable lonely years of lots of work, and not enough pay, and then I went into a partnership, which was all work. I suffered enough to know that you make money easier in London, than anywhere else on this island. I like it's anonymity it has a big city feel about it, where as Birmingham felt like a big Derby, not a small London. The problem with moving out is, the people are so provincial, and I always return now with a sigh of relief. The more remote you live the harder it is to scratch out a living. I have known many move out and most after a few years, yearn to be away from somewhere that the locals believe their's is the best, or only way of doing something. The sting is trying to get back. You find the property has risen so much you can only get an allotment shed, for the price of your palace in the country. You unwittingly burnt your boats, chasing your dream palace and garden in the sticks. My eldest daughter went to Epsom to do her degree and she is very grateful that I originally moved to London, she really missed it and after her second year away moved back and travelled to uni only when forced. I do not mind visiting the 'burbs' but I am a one hundred per cent townie, and if anyone thinks I'm upping and leaving this place, having made sacrifices to get in, not a chance;-) London is the place to be if you are over 21 and single.

Is 'tinker' a derogatory term these days, because that is what Frank Bruno referred to Barry Mcguigan on some award ceremony some years ago. It created a huge laugh when Mc guigan half took his coat off and looked menacingly at Bruno, Barry obviously took offence at the term 'little tinker' used to describe him.

The term gippo's or didicoys, pikey's and 'travellers', all replacements for the word gypsy, from as far back as I can remember. It is probably offensive to the Guardian reading fraternity, and of course to the politically correct crowd too. It was not the case when I was being raised as it was commonly used by family, friends, and neighbours. I do not feel a racist when I use these terms, just victimised because of my great age;-)

If they sound like they're talking about sex when they're saying six, they're kiwi. And if they are talking about sheep when they are having sex.......................... The ones I have employed have all been excellent workers, the only disadvantage is, they 'go walkabout' after a year or so, and you can't find a comparable replacement. I generally ask where there accent is from, to avoid calling a kiwi an ozzie. I have found them straight forward and good value.

I am sure they will fit with a squeeze

When I lived in herne hill a character sat next to the cash point outside LLoyds bank. I learned that he had his own flat and car and was 'known' to the police. He had been sitting outside until about midnight every day for weeks and then he disappeared. I was told he was arrested. I never gave him anything as I was not a user of that bank, cashpoint, or beggar.
