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

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
