Actually, I'm tea-total. Seriously though, I had a very good friend who died because of their 'drink problem' and the temptation of all the bars, off-licences, pubs, shops and supermarkets in East Dulwich, where alcohol could be so easily purchased, was like a magnet. This was a person who was a 'social drinker' and "did not have a problem".
Hmmm...I've seen it happen too. I went to AA a couple of times back in the 80s when I was having serious problems with my drinking (eight attacks of acute pancreatitus in six years due to my excesses) and they certainly helped me out and helped me to stay off the sauce for quite a while longer than I thought I'd be able to manage but I just couldn't get with the programme and the higher power thing, then again I have a friend recently out of rehab and it's helping him and another who's been off the sauce for 22 years and it's certainly helped him too.

Bloody hell it seems hard enough to me. I just can't switch my brain off. The only thing that does that is beer.


In fact I find most things boring until I've had a drink.


Seriously though if you have any suggestions on how to zone out while you run they would be most appreciated.

    • Naaah, it's rubbish - it would be a change of use so would need planning. https://www.planningdirect.co.uk/planningappeals/affordable-planning-applications/change-of-use/commercial-to-takeaway-change-of-use There's not enough footfall for a McDonalds, anyway, and they're quite picky about their sites 
    • So let's never do anything that might improve an area, because it will just be dragged down to the level of what's presently there? Is that what you are saying? I don't have the time or the inclination to do the research, but I'm pretty sure that I have read  that when people who had lived in a very run down area  were given  nice surroundings, they appreciated and looked after them.
    • Someone has tried to kneecap his political career.
    • No, it's the AA. https://www.nationalworld.com/arts-and-culture/these-are-the-uks-best-outdoor-pools-and-lidos-new-lido-league-reveals-top-swimming-spots-5218853  "Experts from The AA analysed 164 lidos and outdoor pools for the average monthly Google search volumes, average Google review scores, Instagram tags, entry and parking fees, as well as the average maximum temperature and hours of summer sunlight at each location, to determine the very best swimming spots across the UK."
