Right then chaps, and fellow Tripadvisor thicko friends. I am off.

[Portofino]

I sit here looking at a load of made up shite, FWR gone to the dogs, few really funny threads any more. I am getting old, curmudgeonly and no longer able to sit on my hands. I am nice really, try to help people in Travel and Living Overseas, but the rest of it just brings out the worst in me. I am too cynical and impatient with scroungers, trolls, and those who big themselves up to get a reaction. I hardly dare post in relationships anymore.

I have had a lot of fun over the last few years, I have made some lovely, lovely friends here. much love to the atrocious cunts, the Woolley hugs lot, mrs d, cha0s, my volcanic ash refugee, all those in Living Overseas, the Benelux Mnetters, the feminists who have taught me so much.

I have too much work and a lovely family and they need more of my attention xxx

HTD and GetOrf - it was LSE Freshers. I only know this as my DD1's bestest chum was one of them!

reality - as in real life.

Not that I've ever smoked anything dodgy

That wasn't a smokers cough by the way.

I'm quitting smoking on 1 June!!! For real this time. Honest.

Seriously, it's the Race for Life day for Cancer Research and it somehow doesn't feel right to be skulking in the bushes having a sneaky fag while trying to run (cough, hack, gasp) 5k to raise money for cancer...

I stopped smoking six years ago.

I started again five years ago.

I stopped smoking as soon as I found out I was pregnant each time. Then started again. I have no real desire to give up, but I suppose I should. I only tend to have 4 or 5 on an average day ignoring the 20 on a night out so it oughtn't be too hard really.

I stopped when i was pregnant,mainly because it made me feel sick of the babies health.
I cough like an old man sometimes,really should make the effort.

I smoke Golden Virginia,five to ten a day.

I never smoked until after I had dd, and then only started because my mates sat in the smoking room at work and I felt like a tool sitting there not smoking,

A pack of 10 fags used to last me a week.

But still only smoke about 5 a day. Until I have a drink and then smoke a packet in one evening

Shall we have another meet up when Porto comes over, I keep threatening to meet you FTS.

I'm up for that- I'll bring fags. Classy ones. Mayfair.

What were those cocktail cigarettes called, multicoloured things. My gran used to buy a pack to take to the ladies Darts league Annual dinner and dance.

Now THAT'S classy, bitches.

Sorry for bitches. Am just reading a gay American style blog and have been influenced. Like when I watched the Wire and called everybody motherfucker for a couple of months

29th June, somewhere in SW London, a Piss Up For Porto. Clarsyness an optional extra.

Piss up for Porto

Sobrani Cocktail GetOrf. My best friend and I use to go to Rumours in Covent Garden and smoke them when we were 16 thinking we were cool. Deluded twats more like!

I'd almost forgotten about that. I need to get my train tickets booked and possibly mention it to DH rather than just fucking off for a weekend....again.

Sobranie Virginia.

My arse of a brother used to smoke them when he wasn't smoking Camel shit fags.

Sobranies! That's it. I wonder if they still sell them.

Haha look www.smoke-king.co.uk/acatalog/buy_sobraine_specialist_cigarettes.html

What a load of old wank.

They are like a box of crayola crayons for fag ash lils.

Oops www.smoke-king.co.uk/acatalog/buy_sobraine_specialist_cigarettes.html

And Sobranie slims

I think they do still sell them.

Somewhere.

I want some
