If she smoked or was on patches/gum, they quite possibly did (the nicotine, at least)

A decent shag, preferably a sprinkling of Golden Virginia, works for me...

Drinking first thing in the morning is in deed a pleasure. Been to the Market Porter once, usually go to Smithfields but last Xmas I think that they were down to only two pubs open early morning.

Biggest issue is knocking back too many, they go down surprisingly easy!

If you're missing your mothers breasts , mine are of reasonable size, "everyone needs a bosom for a pillow" no shag though, I've given it up.

When I worked on The Sporting Life back in the day and we were based at the old Mirror building on Holborn Circus a colleague of mine would lie to his wife and tell her he had to be in the office early so he could go drinking in a pub at six in the morning by Smithfield Market. Half a dozen large De Kuyper's (Dutch gin, for that was his tipple) later and he'd stagger into the office at 9am all bright and breezy by half ten he'd be banging on the door of "The Stab" downstairs to be let in for round two. They usually obliged, for he was a good customer. There were a few Daily Mirror journalists who were known to do the same. I've done it myself after a mad night out back in the day. But the real breakfast of champions is a big fat line of cocaine washed down with a healthy swig of Jack Daniel's and a spliff to take the edge off. Been there and done that too. It ain't big and it ain't clever.

Also going back to the first morning gasper - when the body has been asleep for seven hours of so without a cigarette the body is craving for that first nicotine hit of the day and what a pleasure it is to the confirmed smoker.

When I saw the title of this post I assumed there would be hoards of tedious comments damning smokers like they have issues with morality

Actually pleased to see the responses!

binks, if there's a chance of a bit of smut and/or tales of debauchery, you can always rely on the EDf to rise to the occasion...

I love Jah's reminiscing. Cocaine breakfasts, oh gawd to those were daze - Ha ha!

Some parts of our lives seem like someone else lived them, I can remember smoking a fags in the shower once upon a time. Like fekk sake, the nights before were that heavy, it took the edge off the morning.

['bout now]

There was a "club" of old print reps that used to meet in The Hope in Smithfield. It was called the 11 before 11, yep 11 pints before 11 am. Most succeeded but then most are dead now.

Breakfast of Champions? we used to call it a Supermodel Breakfast (definately no food ;-)
