Quids - may I remind you that this is a Friday Night Dad's club - not an AA meeting. Goodness gracious.


To be honest I should think the same, but for me the recommended units is too low to achieve, or even want to achieve. I think you can drink more than is recommended but as you say with big drinking in the past you have to be careful of your overall health. Fortunatley I have never been a smoker and I think smoking and drinking is a very a bad combo.

Yeah, you've youth on your side Keef, so you can go back on the razz when the kids are older ;-)


To be honest getting up with babies with a hangover is only doable once every so often for me nowadays, but I was still putting away a fair bit just by drinking a few cans everynight, so now I'm only drinking weekends or if I go out in the week, which is pretty rare nowadays but I'm not deliberately avoiding it if you see what I mean. So, I went to football the other day and had a few beers but Mon-Thursday if i'm at home...niente!

Sorry Keef - did not know you were "in the house" - I know you like a ciggy, but the above post was not aimed at anyone. Having become a dad again this week, it makes me think of my own Dad and it was the ciggies that were the end of him i'm afraid. He stayed clear of booze as there is a bit of it in our family history, but the ciggies are really worth giving up (imo).

I'm afraid I think Fosters nowadays seems very watery. About 10 years ago I stopped buying stella and switched to Carling as the beer I would have in the fridge generally - think that was a good move as after 2/3 cans of stella you would actually feel it having a significant effect, so tend to avoid it.


Friday night dad's club I'm usually Carling - tonight I feel I deserve a large whisky (even the midwife said so, so its medically prescribed, so to speak.)

I was on Grolsch and Gaymers last night, 3 of each. Plus a joint. Feeling fuzzy today! I'm actually buying an xbox in the hope that it'll stop me sitting watching crap on telly and just drinking for the sake of it. I am a youngish dad at 31, but I'm not feeling like it!

Is there anybody there ?


If you are quick - you will get the opening sequence of trainspotting on Film4 - with intro from danny boyle....play it loud.


I think I'll watch it until Archie scores that goal and try to focus on the goal and not Kelly Macdonald

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
