Mark Albrighton Posted October 13, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2023 I keep the ketchup in the fridge. It’s nothing to do with preserving it, I just prefer it chilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bickster Posted October 13, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2023 Day off, I took it off to clean the patio/courtyard. It’s pissing it down so I can't do it. Oh well Listening to albums, sitting on the sofa and reading / internet it is then. No one else in the flat, volume up Bacon sarnie (obvs no butter) made and eaten, coffee on the go, lunch decided upon (tempura batter chicken strips and sriracha mayo on a bread baton from the local artisan bakery… snacks aplenty… And the missus wonders why I don’t take the same days off as her! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money down but eh it’s Friday and I’m now in the gym with all day to do as I please . For me today it's an unexpected half day, when you're roofing but the rain is pouring so hard at midday that the boss declares an early end to the day. Like you said, money down, but on the flip side Friday to do with as I please. Unlike you I ended up testing the odd Guinness down the local boozer and I'm nicely drunk. Not wrecked, not sober, just nicely drunk. But, without being overly sentimental, or without wanting to be rubbing temptation in your face as it were (talking about post-work beers n that) I just thought I'd say that as I left the pub and walked up the lane I thought of you in as much as I was well proud of your post last week about leaving your colleagues mid session when you did. Much respect. It aint easy. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much respect. It aint easy. Thinking about what I’d be doing now say if I got in the pub for 11-12. I’d be 8/9 pints deep now and almost certainly I’d have had a line or two of coke. Would have fell out with the missus by this point but it wouldn’t bother me because I’m living for the moment. Everything is working right now and we’d be having the craic, but it wouldn’t be too many more hours where I start blacking out and being a prick. I’d end up at my mums tonight then days of depression follow . Instead I went straight gym , helped missus with house work , had the shag , watched some horse racing , about to have a bath before kids get back , then go to a meeting tonight. Get back from there about 10.15 feeling good and chill for bit before going to bed and looking forward to the weekend. No brainer really is it? If only it was that easy. First drink does the most damage for some of us. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First drink does the most damage for some of us. I've run out of likes again but as an ex publican I've seen the drink up close and it effects people differently. One of my dearest friends is a really horrible drunk - the kind where everything is really fun until - click - switch flipped, eyes are gone, just horrible to everything and everyone around him. He confronted it years ago and even had those pills off the doctor that make you wretch when he touched a drop of it and was reformed for many years. 2 of his closest friends and his mum died in quick succession and that christmas his brother in law got mown down in a car accident. He inevitably hit the bottle again and I don't condemn him for it or even judge him harshly, I kind of understand. But it's so sad seeing him back where he once was. But like you say, the first one.... Stick with it man, life is so much more than a few lagers. But also don't give yourself too hard a time if you falter, just get back on the bike as they say. I've never been an exercisey person at all, but Ive recently started doing a bit of training on a saturday morning. Gym life would scare the life out of me but luckily round here it's a bit more agricultural. Flipping tractor tyres and the like Although if I'm totally honest it's the skipping that kills me. just being able to time it right is a start but cardio wise Ive never known anything like it! But yeah, I'm kinda getting into it and even looking forward to it tomorrow in a weird way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Me and a few pals meet up in the local every Friday around 1800, but we are always back home about 2100. Gone are the days we were out on the lash from 1700 till 1200, although I have to say, if they stopped out, I would probably stay out with them. One of my other pals has a club up town (used to run legs eleven, remember that place) and is always saying I should come up, an can have one of the VIP booths for free, but I just know it'll end up getting out of hand and end up being a regular thing, so I have been putting that off, not sure how long I can do it for though.

We went on a lads holiday to Tenerife when I was around 20. We went for 2 weeks and every night was a mess, but it was good fun, although two weeks was pushing it a bit . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
