I may well be up for this.
Although, Mrs The Egg is taking me out for food so I will probably quaff a bottle of red and then rock up on line shit faced (so apologies in advance for that) or I'll fall asleep on the sofa at 10 as is my rock n roll Friday night tradition. |

| The thing that I am most frustrated about is that I have now given up smoking, I am an ex-smoker and this is a very different mind set to a non-smoker. I didn't start smoking until I was 19, I was old enough to know better but some how I just started and haven't ever really stopped (until now of cou... |

I'm working on the assumption that teeth are cheaper than lungs and generally easier to fix!
Instead of empty fag packets my car is full of Extra Strong Mints wrappers. Lollipops, now there's a good idea  |

The cravings last four about five minutes at a time, yes they're a fucking horrible five minutes but they do pass after a few days, after that it'll all be down to habit.

Many years ago when Newport had a thriving band scene, a friend's band called the MPs did a stonking version of Boys Don't Cry. T'was very good.
I have it on a tape somwehere, but have no means of playing tapes anymore.
