Sorry to hear about your Dad Mick Mac. Was the cancer related to smoking? I have a similar story. When my dad got cancer and had one of his kidneys removed he was told to stop immediately. He said: "It's a bit late now," and carried on. Miraculously, he beat cancer, heart disease too. Strokes got him in the end (aged 80) after a two year struggle after his first one.

I should probably stop smoking too. I'm hopelessly addicted (over 30 a day) but enjoy it and quite frankly couldn't give a toss if it kills me. If I stop enjoying it. I'll quit. So, good luck to anyone who tries. I hope you're successful.

A little late to qualify as a new year's resolution and despite my fairly recent and staunch defence of the delightful habit I am afraid something terrible/wonderful has happened over the last week or so... I have stopped. Stopped drawing on my favourite weed that is. I am in the process now - and I fear it is irreversible - of becoming a non-smoker. Okay it has only been 10 days so far and I still miss a smoke like a man with scabies misses a scratch but I do believe this is it.


I am posting as feel the need for ridicule and accusations of hypocrisy (okay Nette I know, I know) to accompany my regular blasts of ... http://www.google.co.uk/url?source=imglanding&ct=img&q=http://cached.imagescaler.hbpl.co.uk/resize/scaleToFit/393/263/?sURL=http://offlinehbpl.hbpl.co.uk/news/2MM/DD50BA76-BF64-46A1-2EB817380D58DF45.jpg&sa=X&ei=jjqAT6fxEsL48QP5z-2JBg&ved=0CAwQ8wc&usg=AFQjCNFPhegwMzKpNDIoKidpCpe9OZ5HSg...


so why am I giving up? for the same reason I started as a kid - I thought it might be cool.



Lordy loo


I'm not that mean


(am I?)


Well done maxxi and to anybody giving up. Horrid a bitch as I can be, i've a great deal of compassion in my bones for those who try to kick any habit


Lord knows, i've booted a few into touch in my time. However, don't see this as a pat on the back so you can fall of the wagon without any come back


No, no, no indeed, expect a swift kick (with a size 9 sling-back) in the Niag's maxxi, should I catch you

    • I’ve been happily with them for donkeys years but my recent experience has been a bit shocking. Clinical staff have been great (if you can get an appointment) but apparently the Practice has a ‘new system’ in place. You can’t phone for an appointment, you have to go ‘on the app’ and request one. GP will review the request at some unspecified point and decide whether to offer you an appointment . My experience of using the app hasn’t been good and I’m a bit horrified that folk can no longer arrange appointments by phone or by walking in. I’ve also had them lose referral forms, and had to chase them multiple times over a simple GP letter. This has never been my experience in the past so it’s alarming. Anyway, I’ve asked to be included in the Patient Participation Panel, so I’m interested in the experience of others, good & bad? Feel free to PM me, if you prefer!
    • I miss milkmen. It was the sign of a good night out if you met one on the way home. But could quality produce, in 100% recyclable packaging and home-delivered by zero emission electric vehicles really catch on these days? They should bring back the Corona pop man, as well.  
    • Based on what I’ve seen, you can get yogurt in small glass jars from milkman now if you miss those.  Butter and bread is also available.  One of the dairies has fresh bread from a bakery in Brockley, but that bakery also do their own deliveries which I had been thinking of trying.
    • Of course you also had lot's of local diaries. My grandmother had a job as a milkmaid in Camberwell when she was young!
