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 can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
