There’s a crossbow going cheap in Enfield if you fancy it.

What would be going through the minds of the Hunts if they were to read this, you fucking animal? Don't say fucking crossbow bolts!

Well, update. About 48 hours alcohol free. No cravings, just self loathing regret and fear. Plus physical symptoms of withdrawal, hopefully worst has already passed. 

Irony of my situation is I dont usually have anything stronger than beer in the house, and then not much. But won a couple of bottles of spirits at a Guides raffle of all things, which triggered my decent into insanity. 

I would go to the GP for help, acromposte or naltrexolone, but don't want to trigger the interest of social services again. Maybe I can buy some on private care. Going on holiday abroad will be hard without these drugs. What a mess I've made of things. 

 

Sounds like you've just had a mis-step and are getting a bit anxious (I suspect from comedown/guilt/withdrawal). I think you just need to get back on track and talk to your family about your issues, along with an apology if you offended anyone. That will make you feel better emotionally and a plan will give you the steps needed to move forward confidently. Best of luck, you seem like a nice bloke and your  moral compass is definitely spot on.

Well I certainly offended my mother in law but fuck her, she's got no empathy at all.

Actually got yokel relatives from Devon and they would tell you the best way to control / deter rats and mice is a couple of terriers and cats. 

[Holden McGroin 9897]

Aye. My mother had a Westie and it would catch mice. 

[Monkeys Fist 50720]

My dad had a rat that caught Westies. 

[Dazzler 16172]

My mam uses voles to catch capybaras 

[Monkeys Fist 50720]

Little Dazzler- “ Maa-am, there no Capybaras around here though! “

Ma Dazzler- “ Aye son, my vole caught them all.”

I grew up in Peru. Nobby trafficked me. I don’t like to talk about it.

Scotties are better than Westies for keeping rodents away, they'll also tell you to fuck off everytime you give them a command.

Mrs. F. went to a “Lindisfarne” ** gig at Wylam Brewery at 1pm with her two sisters ( one of their partners is on the stage crew, so free gig). 
Parting words- “ I’ll be back about 5:00, I’m not drinking so I’ll get something for tea on the way back”

 

Just steamed in, absolutely Weebled, soooo, a swift trip to Friez and Burgz, and a top up of beverage at Sainsbury, and that’s me set for the match- she’ll be asleep in 20 minutes 

 

 

** The current band have one original member- the drummer. 
It’s like serving up a Cornish Pastie and saying it’s Carbonara because both have pepper in them

The wife's asleep? You'll be wanking into a tea towel before the second half starts.

Alan Hull (RIP) became a member of our quiz team at the Black Horse Monkseaton quiz nights thirty odd years ago. Lovely bloke.

 

Sank a few bottles of red wine perched against our mantlepiece at one of our house parties back in the day.
 

Of his songs, he hated Fog on the Tyne, Lady Eleanor was what he thought his best.

[Toonpack 15581]

P.S. to the above (funny story, well I thought so). Lass I worked with, knew me, my brother and our dad went to the quiz night. One week she said, would you mind if me, my sister and her hubby came down. Was fine by me, as we were always outnumbered.

 

So we’re stood in the pub waiting and lass and her folks turn up, we all say hello and the fella says “anyone want a drink” and disappears to the bar. I turn to the lass (Jackie) and say “Christ, your brother in law is the spitting dabs of Alan Hull out of Lindisfarne” she simply replied “That’s coz he is” 😂

 

That is how I met Alan.

 

We quizzed as a team on and off for couple of years, Alan actually at one time ran his own quiz at the Maggy Bank in Shields. He loved a quiz 😂😂

[Monkeys Fist 50720]

I’ve made a grave error- the Lindisfarne Mrs. F. went to see isn’t the one with just the drummer, it’s the one with Rod Liddle* and Alan Hull’s son-in-law, who are apparently the “official” one, so…

 

… Spaghetti Bolognaise as opposed to Cornish Pasty. 
 

 

* NOOOO! It’s Rod Clements, sorry. 

[Toonpack 15581]

Rod Clements ??
