Petanque at Brockwell PArk, today at 10.30 / 11:00. Triples tournament, ?5 per team, prize for the winners, all welcome.


I've given up booze as well, since 1st June. The pub was very boring at first and more expensive to drink non-alcoholic beers / interesting 'posh' soft drinks than to drink ales.(6) but vaguely amusing watching my friends get drunker and drunker.


I feel better for it,fresher, sleeping better and have lost a little girth as well.


Having said all that, I'm off to France and Spain next week so am going to get right on it as a reward to myself for being so good :)-D

I find moderation very hard, if I go to the pub early, I will be there til closing, so I try to think about getting there an hour later, so I start drinking later. If I'm having a drink indoors, I will again empty the fridge, so just have to buy a few, which is annoying, is it's cheaper to buy in bulk, but if it's there, I will drink it.

Especially with a slug of vodka

I really should give up drinking... I sure as hell don't need the calories and it would be nice not waking up with a headache on Sunday morning.... but I really can't see it happening somehow. It's only fun if no one else is drinking too. The odd night out 3I've had on antibiotics with enforced sobrietry were kind of tedious.


I have been known to drink G&Ts and slip in a straight tonic water when it's come to my round... but that's more to save myself from getting to the vomity stage than anything else. At least I can keep booze in the house without drinking it - chocolate is a different matter....

I'm pretty poor at moderation too, so absinth seems to be the only way to stop the pain of remembering my shit-faced antics the morning after!

You forgot the "My name is Keef..." at the front of that sentence.;-)

    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967  
    • For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500.  (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted.  Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me.  Usually get a decent reduction.  Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal.  Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.      
    • The drivers generally have the same set area to cover every day, so they're fairly easy to follow - quite often on bike. They organise their drops to maximise how many they can do within a given time - there's actually software at the depot to do this before they set off - so they tend to follow the same route. Certain addresses are delivery hotspots, some have two or three drops a day from the various couriers. It all adds up doorstep deliveries being incredibly easy to target. I suspect Vladi's neighbour hasn't had their fake parcel nicked, not because of their security, but because the thief simply wouldn't have seen the driver stop there, so there's nothing to steal. The losses are factored in, driving prices up for everyone, and the drivers are treated abysmally. It's a dreadful business. It needs regulating.   Sorry, cross post with Angelina and Alec1
