No idea how you can play down a heart attack and still convince yourself its ok to smoke !

Mind you i was smoking 20 a day when my Mum first got diagnosed with cancer  - it didnt stop me either.

You have the forums support  First step - smoke your last cig & throw away the rest of the packet ....

Day one starts tomorrow !

Fascinating - it really has given me a few ideas 

Actually got a busy couple of weeks but will start playing around with some ideas over the coming weeks and maybe drop them on here for a bit of critique before i go live to the world ....

Closely guarded secret - its the forum Stig 

Despite a bit of research there isn't a clear indication of how much you can drink before you can drive as there are many factors taken in to account like what it is you are drinking versus your weight.

Roughly (and pauses to create caveat - there is only one way to prevent drink driving - DON'T DRINK & DRIVE, you spill it anyway  )

.... I was told years ago that its approx 1 1/2 pints you can drink to keep under the limit but that is VERY rough guesstimate - that means our chappy above had somewhere around 18 pints before getting behind the wheel !!! 

Personally i admit to having 1 pint and still drive and always ensure i stop drinking at a reasonable hour if i'm driving the next day 

Be safe out there peeps, its not always you, its the other muppets on the road !

Thought the last coke i had tasted a bit funny 

Was just reading about Black Friday on the News ....

Couple of facts not mentioned above -

It all started as the biggest shopping day in 2001 (in USA)

Four people have died and 56 injured in Black Friday incidents since 2006

One more .....

£36bn was spent in the USA in 2012 on Black Friday 

Phew - was panicking then 

Now about the Tooth Fairy ..... 

Oh thats just too good 

Did get me at first until i realised it was a spoof lol

what do you mean he isnt real - someone please tell me Centric is joking 

I didnt know reindeer couldn't bite - but they are smelly creatures so i wouldn't have got too close to find out!

I'm sure this will rumble on & on up until Christmas. 

Guessing the fees are so high because of the association with the "celebrity" designer and the cost has to be recouped somewhere.

Very good and frank post as always 

My favorites are the cold calls as i tend to get to the phone first.

Can i speak to the person who looks after xyz - usual response err that'll be me then (irrespective of whether it is or not)

Recent call went something like

"Oh hi my name is Donut from BT- who is responsible for your phones"

"That will be me" i say in a reserved tone

"i'm calling from BT - do you have a BT line?"

"If you really were from BT you'd surely know?" -( heckles are rising)

"Ah well i'm not actually calling from BT im ringing on behalf of them - so how much do you pay for your line rental"

"Again - if you are ringing on behalf of them, you would know" (quite bored tone comes out)

"Well we can't actually see how much you pay as we don't have that system - we are in your area tomorrow can we call in and see you to discuss your phone and show you how much we can save you?"

"Not interested thanks" (point of putting phone down)

"oh so your not interested in saving money for your business?"

"No i'm not " -( ok by now im really peeved - if he carries on theres gona be blood shed!)

Click at the other end - awww what a shame i was looking forward to a chat

Im all for companies calling trying to sell stuff but dont sell at me, try talking to me and take a hint if im not really engaging in the call !!
