It’s been all Scandinavian «snus», which is infamously difficult to stop. I’m sure the book could still be helpful, but I’m kind of determined to grind through this. I’m going to do it. It’ll be hard, but I’ll do it. Been three and a half days, and I’m not f***ing turning back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Just now, Xela said: Cars with those fizz bang pop exhausts. **** off pal, its a 1.0 litre Corsa. And the gasping rasping turbo. They’ve paid extra money to make it sound like it doesn’t work properly. Have you noticed the boy driving them is always a runt? That’s not a typo, whenever there’s a Corsa or an old Honda or anything like that wheezing and banging it’s way up the street sounding like 95mph, doing 25mph, the driver is only ever visible from the nose up, peering over the dash board. I guess they must also have paid extra for some weird skinny plastic race seat screwed directly to the floor? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to sellotape bits of GoCat pet biscuits box on the frame of my bike by the back wheel to make it sound just like a motorbike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this five years ago after using 'snus'' for 25 years. 3,5 days, that is the hell part but you get over it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. It is kind of hellish, really struggling with my temper, which is very much out of character. But I will get through it. No question. Always nice to hear others who have been able to quit, too, appreciate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having met you at Wembley, you seemed like a very easy going, chilled out guy, so it must be really messing with your head. Good luck with the cold turkey, and hope it ends soon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 My 58 year old cousin just died of liver failure. He was an alcoholic. I idolized him when I was a little kid. He was always a wild child. Did well for a while as a builder. Built his own house and got married. But the booze destroyed everything in the end. His siblings are spreading his ashes tomorrow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '**** scene' was good though. The Wire was never going to age well. Superior show at the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The amount of releases of certain Lps. I'm starting to catalogue and value my music collection using Discogs and what a long winded job it can be. I've even had to add versions of stuff that wasn't even on the Discogs database. Pain in the arse. Been doing this on and off for about 9 months, still only just hit the letter "F". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She used the "Allen Carr How To Stop Smoking" book, and it worked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
