Gawd I could do with a holiday.

The funny thing is with the daughter the higher up the scale in her bar job the less she drinks. When she was a humble barmaid she was hammered most nights of the week. Now she's in management (dog I love saying that......braggity brag brag) she very rarely drinks. She's running the opening of a re-vamped bar tonight and is soooooooooo excited.

KT, consider yourself suitably chastised........:b&d:

Spuds as been duly texted and I await her reply.

Well the daughter went to the doctors and got an armful of blood taken, they don't think it's her heart at all. Poor lass is suffering massive panic attacks and sobbed all over me last night.
She had one while she was here and I had to sit with her like a she was a little girl helping with her breathing 'til it passed. Needless to say I'm worried witless.

Probably grown up a bit JC and seeing things from behind the other side of the counter is probably a big eye opener.
Never been to Turkey Pops, did get ten miles off of the coast but dont think that counts. You sound great btw.

Hello again! First off, I have to agree with Mario about how great it is being able to come on here and share. I know for me-I would never have made it these last few months. :l Things are not perfect (are they ever for ANYBODY!) but being sober has helped so much dealing with my problems. UK Blonde made a comment on another thread awhile back that "you may still lose your house or whatever but at least if you are sober you'll be better able to deal with it and find a solution" well, something like that-those were not her exact words! But it's so true!

Hi KTAB and any others who might be lurking around. It's so nice being able to catch up on the posts. Now that I'm usually at work all day, I only have early morning or evening. And when my daughter is home from school she wants to be on Facebook-so it's a fight for computer time. KTAB if you are still around can you bring up the song "Where's me jumper?" it's an old song by a Cork band---The Sultans....or something like that. I can't get that song out of my head. Brings back memories (Good ones:H!).

Thanks KTAB! You're the best! I'm going to listen to them in a sec. I have a weird story. My daughter is named after a song by "The Nipple Erectors" Shane McGowen's old band. Well, one Saturday night we had watched a documentary on his life so decided the next morning to go to Temple Bar and find the record "Gabrielle". And who should we see stumbling across O'Connell bridge? Yep, good ol' Shane! He was drunk as a skunk but quite friendly!:H

Yeh, nice one. I read his autobiography many years ago and there is a picture in it of his flat in London in the early days. You cant see the carpet for empty bottles and cans littered everywhere. Quite sad really.

Army Thread 8 October 2010

I agree-it is sad. He is such a talented individual. I think he finally got his teeth fixed. Maybe he's starting to take better care of himself? I really don't know.
