I'm so close to the end of my task, your jibes can't hurt me now karter. I'm basking in the moral superiority of sobriety.

25 days and back on the beer this weekend [although bent the rules slightly and weekend started last night!] :)-D

40th birthday tonight and friends for dinner tomorrow night - should be back to normal shortly.

[karter]

Nice to see you walking straight though last night, Mick.:))

[????]

Will we see an improvemnt in your posting Mick?

[Narnia]

I knew it Mick...........your 1am posting elsewhere last night was the clue.

[????]

Does it mean PGC and Declan get their drinks? You're getting a rep up there with Bluerevolution for welshing on your bets Mick

[Mick Mac]

I have survived another year despite 11 months of too many beers, so its time to consider the 2011 verion.

I'm doing 31 October to the 25th.....(26 days) anyone else?

[????]

Mick is presumably going to be drinking himself senseless most of the weekend

[Otta]

I should give this a go, but why set myself up for failure, it will only make me hate myself.

[wee quinnie]

Otta - tbh I think you'd be better off doing this after Xmas - since everyone is too skint/too post-Xmasy for going out etc.,

Why not Mid Jan for 28 days?

[maxxi]

The 31st to the 25th seems a bit arbitrary - what will you do for 'something warming in a flask' come Bonfire Night? Take soup?

Have to go out with a friend tonight in gypsy hill and he's the sort who is more interested in food than drink so we have to go for a curry...:(

I prefer to keep my stomach empty to squeeze in as much beer as possible. I'll have a popadom and a table full of Cobra.

Will your period of abstinence run alongside a self-imposed forum exile for the same time frame (on the basis that the forum is at its best/bearable and funniest/less irritating with a stiff livener on the inside)? Or will the forum become your substitute for a post-rush hour whisky and splash?

[katie1997]

Mick Mac was only really witty whenever Narnia and Quids were around. Oh...

[Mick Mac]

What are you getting at Katie. (6)

[katie1997]

You weren't meant to see that until after you'd drank all those beers tonight. Then I thought you'd be more in a sort of jovial, more forgiving mood.

[Alan Medic]

He must have been stood up katie. I'd go to DEFCON 3 NOW. It's only going to get worse.

[katie1997]

You're right Alan. Probably best steer clear of his posts in No-drink-vember....

[maxxi]

After this weekend the idea of No-drink-vember is starting to appeal...

I think it might usefully be twinned with a self-imposed temporary forum exile - none of this disappearing and popping up again like Huge and Quids though, the suspense is too much - just a calmly stated intent to forego posting for a fixed period... to see which part of you cracks first.

[katie1997]

After this weekend the idea of No-drink-vember is starting to appeal..

Me too maxxi, me too. Very appealing in fact.

Anyway, I suspect it'll be easier to achieve than a self-imposed exile. When will you be back? Oh, you can't say.

[maxxi]

No-drink-vember starts tomorrow (oh, 73 btw) and I think I may take a stab at it.

Anyone else? Anyone for temporary exile? An edf sabbatical without the comfort of a hot toddy?

We could have a contest - like a tontine but whoever cracks before November 30th loses (loses/wins... nothing but pride in the knowledge one has mastered (a couple of-) one's appetites.

Did I say 73?

ETA: well you might consider it KT616 if only to give Mick Mack's short-term-memory-loss syndrome time to kick in...

[Mick Mac]

Started today so one day down but can't stay off forum as well. We need some fun.

[maxxi]

I'm thinking of Nov 1st to 30th so last drink tonight and next on Dec 1st. I know what you mean about fun but I feel I need the extra self discipline so exile starts tonight at midnight.

No other takers?
