My monday has sucked so far! I recieved a letter from uni saying to I have to do a resit exam even though I don't have a resit, found out I didn't get a job I went for, found a 'present' from my dog on the floor (of the smelly variety), and to top it all off, I just stubbed my toe!
Ah, that makes sense, it was originally developed as an anti depressant, but when they tested it they found that the participants lost the desire to smoke, so they took it back to the lab and fiddled with it a bit and hey presto, it became an anti smoking drug.
Cold turkey is prob your best option then, all the nicotine is out of your system within 48 hours, after that it's all psychological
The smoking ban isn't actually as bad as it first seems. As a smoker myself, i was pissed off about it, but the benefits outweigh the cons.
Most places have smoking areas you to go to, you smoke a LOT less on a night out, I sometimes went through 30 in a night out, now I hardly make a dent in a 20 pack. The hangovers are also a lot easier as you don't have that tight feeling in your chest from smoking too much. And although everyone thinks there'll be loads of fights cos folk can't smoke inside, it's actually quite good crack when you're all outside.
If anyone still thinks it's too much and has to quit, go to your doctor and ask for zyban, some places still use it. It's brilliant, I quit no problem on it and lasted 8 months, unfortunately started again though lol, but the pills work great.
Did you know the european ps3 won't be backwards compatible with ps2 games? Apparently in an effort to cut costs Sony has decided that europe can do without it, which is nice of them! Some games will eventually have software downloads that will make them next gen compatible, kinda sucks though!
There are good and bad points to the whole internet dating idea, it opens up a whole new world of people to chat and interact with.
But becuase you are sitting in front of a screen and not face to face with someone, it is less personal, and therefore it is easier for people to be unpolite and dismissive.
Don't let it get you down though, for all the rude folk, there are plenty of nice ones too!
The key is patience, i've been a member of this site for around two years and only met one person, so just be patient and don't give the rude one's the satisfaction of bothering about them!!!
Hi all, new to the forums so thought i'd start with something funny, oh, i'm not being mean about irish people with this, i'm irish myself!!!
Dear Son,
Just a few lines to let you know I'm still alive. I'm writing this letter slowly because I know you can't read fast. We are all doing very well.
You won't recognise the house when you get home we have moved. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles from your home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the last Irish family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so that they wouldn't have to change their address.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure it works so well though: last week I put a load in and pulled the chain and haven't seen them since.
Your father's got a really good job now. He's got 500 men under him. He's cutting the grass at the cemetery.
Your sister Mary had a baby this morning but I haven't found out if it's a boy or a girl, so I don't know whether you are an auntie or an uncle.
Your brother Tom is still in the army. He's only been there a short while and they've already made him a court martial!
Your Uncle Patrick drowned last week in a vat of whiskey in the Dublin Brewery. Some of his workmates tried to save him but he fought them off bravely. They cremated him and it took three days to put out the fire.
I'm sorry to say that your cousin Seamus was arrested while riding his bicycle last week. They are charging him with dope peddling.
I went to the doctor on Thursday and your father went with me. The doctor put a small tube in my mouth and told me not to talk for ten minutes. Your father offered to buy it from him.
The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice this week, first for three days and then for four days. Monday was so windy one of the chickens laid the same egg four times.
We had a letter from the undertaker. He said if the last payment on your Grandmother's plot wasn't paid in seven days, up she comes.
About that coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Stanley said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
John locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down.
There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much has happened.
Your loving Mum
P.S. I was going to send you some money but I had already sealed the envelope.
