Well I quit drinking and smoking at the same time.....

I do drink now every once in a great while.:eek:

Dont use drugs except nerve pills now and then

prescribed for my anxiety.

Other than that I feel great...

So stop drinking and drugs and spend your money on other stuff.....

Well I am and it’s absolutely brilliant. I spent the money I hadn’t smoked for a year on a fabulous amplifier that I would never have been able to justify buying.

Sat here now it’s a no-brainer. Would I rather have a new amp and empty pockets or a bad smell, a weaker chest, a desire to smoke and the same empty pockets.?

That’s sort of ‘cos you asked the question that way though.

In reality even if they made fags free most of us wouldn’t take up the habit again because I don't think the money isn't the major issue.

Relish all those extra things you can now justify..!! :D

Hmmm, I might be missing the point here, but couldn't you actually save your money???

I mean nobody making you spend on alcohol - LOL

However, maybe thats the point, if your not wasting your cash on fags you can spend Io on whatever the hell you want:D:D:D

yeay

Interesting response to Sandie today, someone who has admitted to having both alcohol and cocaine problems. We've gone from Sigmund Freud to Krusty the clown. Does your talent know no bounds...

Really...try to show a little sympathy or just leave him alone why don't you.

Are you calling me a clown?

Surely insults of this nature are against forum rules?

Always the hero with the ladies aren't you mojo....quite a few of them let me know what they really thought though...never quite saw you the same after that...

Kindergarten...me? How's mumsy today stuey??

My Mum, as far as I know, is still not smoking and is coming to stay with me for Christmas... will be the first time I've seen her since Easter.

Do you really have nothing better to do than attempt to pick an argument with anyone and everyone on an internet forum? Have you not figured yet that noone is going to bite? Have you not yet figured why?

Come back when you're as smart as you think you are.

To be fair you have a reasonable point, Carl. I shall give you that.

However, without your constant whinging and sniping towards anyone and everyone - there would be nothing for me to respond to.

(and by the way, my idea of "biting" is getting annoyed - or at least irritated which seems slightly different to yours. I am actually finding your behaviour over the last few days strangely intrigueing... even entertaining in a way. I am waiting with great anticipation to see if there is a point to it all - perhaps a grand finale, or whether you really think that what you are doing right now is actually bugging anyone)

Anyway - fun as this is, I am orf to do some work.

Look you're the expert Ophelia.....you know the drill. I'm actually performing a valuable service here. I'm not joking..well not really anyway.

Every group needs it's enemy, right? Re-inforces group bonds, creates a sense of common purpose, allows other members, who might annoy the shit out each other, to form alliances blah blah blah.

WELL....that's me!!!!!! You should all be grateful. This place hasn't been this active in months.

Also, just 'casue I'm an arsehole doesn't mean I'm always wrong.

I could but I won't...now there...you should all consider that moment of kindness.

dont hold back on my account. it would only be kind if you thought you were saving my feelings by not insulting me, and in order to upset me you would have to assume i cared for your opinion!

im glad to see you realise you are an arsehole though. they say the first step in resolving the problem is to admit there is one.

Glad to see my humble offerings have re-invigorated you.

For someone who cares not a jot for what I post you do seem to follow me around don't you. Wouldn't be the first admirer to do that though.

lol you do make me laugh. if you took your head out of your own arse for long enough, you might be able to enjoy the views that dreamland offers.

Oh my, how I laughed.

1. Never claimed to be the expert. Your statement not mine.

2. Every Group needs a common enemy. Am I mistaken, or missing the point, but i thought this forum already had one - Smoking. And that our goal of stopping is what unites us.

3. Nice to see you have a high level of self awareness.

4. Yes you are an arsehole. Do not mistake that statement as an insult, I am merely agreeing with your opinion. Also, being one doesn't make you always right either.

5. I'm not sure you are performing an valuable service here. I think that may be self delusional. But hey, we all need a bit of that to get us through the day.

6. Personally I think you get far more out of being an antagonist as you believe it individualizes you as the protagonist of each thread. You may be of this opinion, but be under no illusion, we are not.

7. As for the place not being this active in months, surely as the constant here, you can not believe that to be of credit to you. As the new addition here bringing my games, wouldn't that be a of a more credit worthy thought? Not that I seek that affirmation, I merely thought i could contribute something positive to the forum. Something, some of us are serious lacking in.

and finally

8. laughing at you, is not the same as laughing with you, the first being no basis for a friendship.
