got myself hooked to the lost mary nic salts - 20mg of nicotine

I'm off to the T20 finals day at Edgbaston on Saturday. Ridiculously late in the season, again thanks to the hundred. Thank christ it looks like this early winter we've been enduring this week looks like it will subside a bit by the time Saturday rolls around

i've had a nightmare. i smoked throughout my teens, 20s, and early 30s. finally kicked the habit after having kids and got to the point where i only have the occasional tab when v pissed - and even then i stopped enjoying the sensation of smoking so it never felt like nicotine had its claws in me. now, after all these years, i've only gone and got myself hooked to a vape. fuck me, they're addictive. they don't appear to be regulated so the nicotine levels in them are off the scale - way higher than in tabs, plus there's no end to the bloody things! the thing about smoking is you have a tab and it satisfies a craving for a bit - with these bastards 20-30 minutes can easily disappear and you're still chugging away on them. i went cold turkey while i was away on holiday with the kids to "prove i could stop", then got right back on it as soon as i could after i got home. i know i need to pack it in - they're no good for you and i don't want the kids seeing me using it, but it's reminded me how much i enjoy the buzz from nicotine during the day; so much nicer than caffeine, which i'm also addicted to, but my caffeine consumption has dropped massively as a result of this. anyone else hooked to this absolute junk?

i'm sure someone on here once said BJs are overrated poor soul - obviously never had one performed by someone who knows what they're doing

new series of colin from accounts is v good. i had no idea australians could produce such good tv - let alone tv this funny and moving. it's like ricky gervais's early work, but possibly even better

you love digging up an ancient thread

i think and hope he feels like he owes us big time. for a bloke who doesn't seem to show much emotion, he seemed genuinely moved by the supports he got from the away end when he returned for the forest game

yeah, i got a couple for £75 - a steal last year, what used to be the "neutral" end was more of a home end, so we just snuck in and stood with the away support - pretty easy to do

I just came here to post that

She’s got a shocking case of vocal fry too

this. As much as it annoy us, (I would prefer a more progressive pm) elecrions are won from the centre in this country due to the electoral system. It’s going to take the tories at least an election cycle or two to get this out of their system. Reform are great news for Labour

To be sure

that reminds me; what do you call a fake noodle? an impasta

He got through 90 minutes too, which has to be good for his marsh sharpness. Start him Eddie!

disappointed for nia archives. she's a young, working class black woman making a genre of music that hasn't been awarded by mercury since the 90s - i thought she deserved it - but they gave it to an indie band instead. it has inspired me to check out their music however, which is what this award is about

I mostly agree but I’m not sure about this line. Feels like he’s making excuses for his own failure. It’s the first failure since the takeover. Yes, I know there’s psr constraining us, but the recruitment of the past three years has been generally excellent. This was the first occasion it wasn’t. Is our scouting network that awful? (They delivered Bruno, Isak, Gordon, Botman). Or is that he and Eddie don’t see eye to eye regarding targets?

If that didn’t get you the job I don’t know what will

my bad. You haven’t got it, Renton. You fucked it. happy now?

Just reread back further up the thread to see I wasn’t alone in my love of the deep pan pizza co
