          Stumpy - gonna keep those two words in my head tonight "stay strong!"

          Gee i got the see-saw of angel and the devil going on. It's not even 8pm, but the angel's wnting to curl up under the warm duvets with a movie, or book, or the tinternet... meanwhile, the devil (in all it's finery, and the de'il does wear some fashionable finery!) is saying, COME OAN! IT'S A FECKING GIG, HAE A FECKING DRINK, YA GRUMPY WEE BASTARD (it's a scottish devil, by the way).

          Fingers crossed...

            RC, lol My husband is Scottish and Irish lol...I think it was K9lover who put the thought in my head that a crave is just a wave, once I say that to myself the crave is gone within a minute or so, that's when I come on here, you should do the same. Even if I don't post, I read. Stay Strong tonight!

                  It's passed. Phew. But i left well early. I would have stayed if i could have done the following: a) danced (nae self-respecting 20yr old indie kid was gonna be seen dancing before their 4th pint, so there was little chance of this 30-something kicking his skinny wee legs aboot) b) Been more awake (this 30-something is feeling that there is only so much partying he can do in one weekend) c) drank...

                  I realised while i was listening to the first band that sometimes I'd come to these gigs to support - not necessarily because i wanted to be there per se. And on these occasions i would calculate how long i had to be there by how many drinks i could have.

                  Tonight would normally have been a 3 pint affair (and then home to 4 cans)... Instead it was lemsip and fresh orange juice, and home to tea and toast.

                  A crave is just a wave. True - will mind that one Stumpy!

                        "A Crave is just is just a Wave"
                        Love it!
                        Maybe we should start a Quotes of October Sober thread.
                        RC will definitely need to share a wee bit o' Scottish wisdom from the homeland.

                          Here's a bit of wisdom from the great Ivor Cutler:

                          "If your breasts are too big, you will fall over... unless you wear a rucksack"

                          (PLEASE don't take offense! - go look up Mr Cutler on google. Kinda like Scotland's Spike Milligan)
