More than likely. Have to say how anyone can afford to drink in bars these days in Noocastle is beyond me. Mr JC was just on the Hight Street on Friday and it's ?4 a pint.

There's one bar in town that they say if you haven't been chucked out of or beaten up in you can't be a real alkie............it's a right dive.

January is an awful month for 'navel gazing' isn't it ?
Everyone is broke & confined to barracks with nothing to do but investigate body issues :H.
Feels like the body been battered by winter & Christmas and needs an overhaul.

I dunno --- for starters --- the really bad ones kept vomiting and starting over again which can be done --- and when I listen to the young'un at work (no longer drinking) talking about how they used to do shots at the end of the night --- they'd order a pint and a double shot at each round - and if there were 10 of them in the round --- they'd have 10 of them ---- and that was at the END of a night --- I dunno bout ye --- but that is feckin SCARY stuff - back in my 20's and 30's when we went out -- you might consume the equivalent of a bottle of wine or 4-5 pints --- but that was it --- and that was only 1-2 nights a week at most --- and THAT was a lot ---- my liver didn't get 'compromised' till I hit 50 -- and that was after mebbe 3-4 yrs of abusive drinking -- they must have a problem with that so early on surely???

My friend used to be able to do the vomit then carry on thing, we were in our early 20s..........back in the day I used admire her persistence.

Oh Molls, the liver problems here are atrocious among the young.

God JC - they really must be. What Molls describes is what I used to do in my day. Mild really.
Yeah saw a thing the other day - he was 26 and pure YELLOW - was almost dead according to the doctor.

Yeah that was it !

It's so good the mods make it a sticky so it sticks at the top of every forum.

Must go have a gander ---- not a CHANCE I'd put up a photo --- don't think in my whole Life I've ever seen a photo of myself that I thought looked nice!!!!

Any word how the young fella has settled in back in Oz Benj?

See comment re wedding photos.

Young Satz - has gone quiet - just the odd text - normal for him - and sure he could tell us anything and we'd have to believe him.
He's up in GF place - so hope he behaves Molls.
If the GF dumps him I'll KNOW there is a huge issue. They were mad about each other - and I believe only AL would be the thing to mess it up.
I try not to think too much about it - it's worrying - but I can't do anything about it tbh.
