Won't be able to make it for drinks on the 1st.
Work is nuts this week and it looks like I'm going to be down south from Wednesday.
It's been a stressful week or so, but so far I haven't caved... Well done to all those still off the smoke, or still trying to get off.
Have a great time on Thursday, guys!

Morgs, that's unbelievably crap news, dude...
Khani, cheers for the offer!
I'm not sure where I'll be and when, but it's possible I'll be close to yours on Thursday/Friday. If so, I'll try to PM you!

Blimey! Sounds like an eventful week all round. After my lapse, I'm backon course and satsuma'd (is that a word?) up to teh MAX!!
Tell you what chaps and chapesses. Why don't we leave the night out this Thursday. Rumour has it that the legendary Mr DD, aka: Bravisimo is up in the North tin the next couple of weeks
Why don't we all get together then for christmas drinkees and Bratwurst at the Christmas markets. If you haven't had a fag for a while, then you deserve a big sausage at the very least

It's time I threw my hat in the ring on this thread.
I have taken the plunge and asked the doctor for Champix to help me kick the habit. Two days in (and some interesting dreams last night) I'm getting ready to quit on Monday next week.
Wish me luck.

No beer
NO BEER!!!
OMG!!! No fags..no beer..the only way it could get worse is if your knob fell off!..there is no god..!! Posted 6 months ago # -
Dear God Morgs!!!! How can you possibly keep your sanity. What have you done to deserve this?!! NO BEER?
Mulled wine?
Posted 6 months ago # -
anything with wheat / gluten in and it's a no-no. Apparently you can get gluten-free beer, but, apart from the £5 per 330ml bottle price tag, it tastes like an alcoholic glaswegian's wee
not looking forward to that one
Posted 6 months ago # -
Morgs, apparently...
A number of premium and craft brewers now produce specialty grain gluten-free beers using non-gluten ingredients such as buckwheat, sorghum, rice, corn, etc. Not all the beers listed below use specialty grains, and some of them have had the gluten removed using special filters and/or enzymes, and in such cases they may not be 100% gluten-free (although each claims to test below 20 PPM gluten).
Against the Grain, World Top Brewery (United Kingdom)
Bards Tale Dragons Gold, Bard's Tale Beer Company (USA)
BeerUp Glutenfrei, Grieskirchen (Austria)
Birra 76 Bi-Aglut, Heineken Italy (Italy)
Blonde (also Ginger and Apple Beers), Billabong Brewing (Australia)
Daura, Estrella Damm (Spain)
G-Free, St. Peter's Brewery (United Kingdom)
Green's Endeavour Dubble, Green's (United Kingdom)
Koff I, Sinebrychoff (Finland)
Lammsbräu, Neumarkter (Germany)
Messagère, Les bières de la Nouvelle-France (Canada)
Mongozo's exotic flavorded pilsners (The Netherlands)
New Grist, Lakefront Brewery (USA)
Nodogoshi, Kirin (Japan)
O'Brien Brown Ale, O'Brien Brewery (Australia)
Passover Honey Beer, Ramapo Valley (USA)
RedBridge, Anheuser-Busch (USA)
Residenz Bio-Reis-Gold Dunkel, Liebharts (Germany)
Schnitzer Bräu (Germany)
Sorghum Molasses Brown, Outer Banks (USA)
Toleration, Hambleton (United Kingdom)
Tread Lightly Ale and 3R Raspberry Ale, New Planet (USA)
Tumma Kukko, Laitilan (Finland)I don't know if that makes a difference, but there could still be beer on your horizon!
EDIT: Just seen your post :
the £5 per 330ml bottle price tag, it tastes like an alcoholic glaswegian's wee

cheers camo - I'll defo have a look at them.
still got to have tests, but seeing as dad and sis are and the initial tests are +ve (even thought I need more to firm up the diagnosis) it looks like my gluten days are numbered
Posted 6 months ago # -
Morgs - this is crap news indeed.
On a personal note, I haven't had a beer in 15 years and I don't really miss it that much. A major alcohol spree between the ages of 14 (!) and 19 screwed up my stomach for ages and I couldn't get a sip of beer down without chucking it back up again - shame, because I was following a special Kronenbourg liquid diet at the time.
Now, it's wine, port or nowt.
Nothing to do with your situation, I know, but I thought I'd mention it.

Like binners I was more of a K / pils snakebite man. Quite a kick, I seem to recall...
I fact, K was my first serious booze crush. Used to get ratted on K whilst eating dodgy curry many, many moons ago.

Doing better today thanks camo, seem to be keeping a level of equilibrium...For now
Blimey, K and lowenbrau take me back....I do miss Tennants Extra a lot!
Posted 6 months ago # -
Tennants extra! God there's a blast from the past..
Literally... even when I was a yoof and a big drinker that stuff sent me daft(er)...
Posted 6 months ago # -
We used to mix tennants super, diamond white and port, we called it 'Snakebosh'
Posted 6 months ago # -
haha! It definately had magic properties
One of those beers that HAD to be drunk draught, out of the can just wasnt the same. I remember when I worked in the City as a spotty 16/17 year old regularly (3x per week) shift 3 or 4 pints of that stuff at lunchtime then going back to work totally off me nut...Couldnt do that now
ah happy days

*feel slightly nauseous*
Good effort tho, was it drinkable or so thick you had to spoon it out?
Posted 6 months ago # -
It's pretty sad to think that the only constant in my life from my snakebite days has been smoking. I've lost the goth spike hair - which was once my pride and joy.
I've lost my ability to throw back pint after pint with nonchalant elan. But the smokes stayed and I have no idea why...Aaaaaaaah - the 3 pint midweek lunch. Happy days indeed
Sounds about right!
Posted 6 months ago # -
Maybe as compensation for the Tennants?
Posted 6 months ago # -
There's no compensation, though, is there?
They were carefree days, those...
* gets seriously misty-eyed and sighs heavily *
I haven't woken up in a pool of my own puke for at least 15 years...
Posted 6 months ago # -
Camo, might be cos nicotine is more addictive than alcocrackcrystalmethcaine that the smokes have stayed with us all.
*reminisces about leaning against the bar, sipping Tennants Extra whilst stoking that plastic black, back-lit "T" and Smurkin a tab indoors!*
edit - I never actually stroked the "T"...That sounds all wrong

Maybe that's something we should all aim for on our night out. A trip down memory lane
Posted 6 months ago # -
So, who's succumbed then, and who's managed to keep it going?
And how are people's bowels? All tickety-boo?

Deal - I'm such a lightweight these days it's almost inevitable!
So, who's succumbed then, and who's managed to keep it going?
Still going, elf... what's that? almost a month now (more than £150 in cash terms)
And how are people's bowels? All tickety-boo?
Swift, precise, satisfying. Thanks for asking.
