Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Last week I said one of the reasons I enjoyed pie and Bovril was the lack of empathy.
The replies to [mention=57058]Amarillo Bairn[/mention] are absolutely superb and another reason that this message board is fantastic.
 
Yeah the response to my post have been great, and thank you to everyone who took time to reply or like a post
Just putting Saturday down to a blip and starting again.

David Bowie.

Always said as Bow (as in bow to the king) ee, now they different Bow (archer and bow) ee.

What is correct, and can I add if it's not that I think, you can also f**k off.

I've always said Bow (as in bow to the king), but it is generally Bow (as in bow and arrow). The Man Himself said that he had no preference.

It's pronounced Jones.

AA is the bane of many, found this after a quick lookie…

https://www.addiction.org.uk/alternatives-to-alcoholics-anonymous/
 

and this:

https://www.uk-rehab.com/treatment-rehab/therapy/five-alternatives-to-12-step-meetings/
 

Can’t testify on any of it, but in my previous job I worked with a number of heavy drinkers who had to find ways to control their behavior and almost every one was able to find a group that filled their needs without them having to hold their noses. It’s a shit problem, and often seems there’s no good options, but there are ways. Glad to hear you finally found a way!

this time, AA is actually working for me. But don't worry I'm no evangelist, I hated it for years, it's more the people than the organisation. I have almost no friends here, but have now made some very good sober friends through AA and that is what is keeping me going. Do I agree with 12 steps? Yes/No/Maybe but it has introduced me to people I like to hang out with that are sober and understand me.

Yeah, that's the right thing to do. It was a blip - learn from it and move forward. Show me an alcoholic that has never had a blip. We've all had them.

I never did the 12 steps, but I have made amends with people I had wronged in my own way.  I also learned about myself and what makes me tick. I did not need AA to do that.

I know I am what people in A.A. would consider a "dry drunk" because I am abstinent outside of A.A., but the "quality" of my sobriety is the best I have ever had. I would not change it.

A.A. works for some people and I'm glad it does. I am not one of them though - I found a way that works for me. I have stolen a few of their sayings though and still use them occasionally.

I am glad you find the social aspect of A.A. to be beneficial, because it can be very difficult to find sober company. Most of my leisure activities are solitary activities because the majority of people my age (early 30s) drink to socialise.

George Clinton goes for Boo-ee in P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up). 

 

It was cool, but can you imagine doobying your funk?

“Age is just a number” 

Said by benzema last night.

1) you’re 34 laddie, come back and say that when you win it at 44

2) it’s just not true is it? Yes he’s prolonged and even enhanced his career in its later years through looking after himself and adapting his game but he still will have been impacted by age.

Aye, 34 is nothing and never was if you were fit and looked after yourself.

If he is still doing it 20 years later with one metal hip, he will also be my personal hero..................
