gcreptile 10,804 Posted January 21, 2020 So I watched "The Circle" on Netflix and Miranda reminded me of Leah Bracknell. That made me sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes no odds if you've got squat to your name; you're starting from jack shit wherever you are. If you do have a pot to piss in, though, and you're not entirely fond of the idea of losing it and starting from jack shit again, it's more difficult, unless you have a vast pissing cauldron. I'm not about to throw away my financial soundness just for the sake of getting out ASAFP. I'm just hopeful, much like everyone else pissed off with the country to this degree, that the opportunity to get out arises before my pissing pot diminishes. As far as the US is concerned, I'd frankly rather live in Syria. I gave a up a good job with good pay to go and work in a fucking hotel while the missus did waitressing and bar work. We scrimped enough to pay for our daughter to have extra lessons to try and get her up to some sort of speed with the language. We sold up, bought a van and threw our lives into it to drive across Europe into complete uncertainty. We survived and the experience was invaluable. You either have the gumption to do it or you don't. You talk a load of shit, you always have. Comment when you have actually DONE something apart from commuting up and down the fucking A12 5 days a week, or whatever you actually do. I tell you now, 97% of those that were so fucking irate and adamant that they were going to leave the country and live in the EU have not done so and never will. FACT. All mouth and no fucking action. You either talk it or you do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has saved me a fortune and, honestly, I have better breathing and all that. Do not, however, believe the bullshit that ' food tastes better' when you stop. It tastes no different! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I picked the date I was going to stop, so I was prepared. The first 3 days are the worst. Just tell yourself "I gone for 3 days without one, what's another day". It gets easier after a week. Well done again and good luck with staying off them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just been searching this forum for 'lung cancer' which has sort of helped in a cathartic way. I gave up nearly a year ago for financial reasons. I just stopped buying them. If I don't have any, I can't smoke them. I do not feel any better for it and have gained weight. The house smells weird as without the smoke screen there are underlying niffs which previously went unnoticed. Saved a fortune though, as LFN says. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only voters were the 100 or so in the crowd, apparently. You could kind of tell who was getting voted out by the songs they were given to sing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As all commentators have been saying for the last week or so. When you know who it is (despite Jonathan Ross and the US guy's attempts to convince us otherwise) quite a bit of the fun went out of it. Don't know whose idea it was for hedgehog to sing the little mix song in the final but it probably cost him victory. Cheryl Cole was a ridiculous call for Queen Bee, everyone in the UK knows she can barely hold a tune and hasn't sung live in years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
