Well done Dusty, try and stay surfing. Will be a week tomorrow for me. Seem to be managing one week on, one week off Hmm

You still with us Serial?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 31/03/2017 21:57

Sort of wishing I didn't get so pissed. Really craving some chemical assistance here.
I spent so long writing that post my bloody bath overflowed.Shock
It's all going Pete Tong.

HoochiMama · 31/03/2017 21:57

Lost!! I was worried for you! Glad to hear you have only gone French Wink

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 31/03/2017 22:01

Hooch my stumbling block seems to be 2 weeks. Not sure why our brains are programmed this way. It's fucking bizarre.

Calling out on the beach megaphone: Bishop report in before we send out a life guard.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 31/03/2017 22:05

Bonjour Hooch you ad leetle faith in me. Grin
I'm surprised at myself tbh. All this surfing practice is paying off. Smile

HoochiMama · 31/03/2017 22:28

Ooh la la, well done Lost. I might be turning Italian. Well I'm talking to a 29 yr old one on Tinder. Naughty wine!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 31/03/2017 22:38

Ciao Bella stud Grin.... Have fun Hooch!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 31/03/2017 22:41

Off to get in a mega deep bath with obscene amounts of foam (no Italian stallions here I'm afraid)
Sending good clean vibes to all surfers x

HoochiMama · 31/03/2017 22:46

Night night x

ZiggertyZaggerty · 01/04/2017 00:20

I'm swimming! But will be the last for a long time - so not being too bad and trying to just enjoy it (but still checking in with you guys so am obviously feeling guilty!) Hope you are all pyjama rated and you shall feel sooooo smug tomorrow - please don't rub it in!

disastrouslee · 01/04/2017 02:09

Ok I'm in.
I'm not a regular partaker. I can go months without.
But then...just a leetle bit...and I'm lost for weeks.
In the middle of a lost episode here. So impressed by all who stay on the surfboard... I'm trying desperately to clamber back on. My problem is that I can cope: I can function, go to work, look after DC and all that and not feel too bad. I don't get comedowns like you guys seem to get.
And yet...and yet.
No More tonight.

ZiggertyZaggerty · 01/04/2017 08:42

Morning all and hello Dis, you're in the right place. Here grab a surfboard, you can try and cling on with me Smile I think the problem is that we do function whilst partaking, therefore we kid ourselves at the time that it isn't a problem. Sorry - a bit too deep for a Saturday morning!
Well done all for holding on in the danger zooone!
I'm feeling surprisingly clear-headed this morning.
Happy Saturday Surfers x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/04/2017 09:13

Morning surfers! Brew

Welcome aboard Dis! Have you been dabbling with coke for long?

I agree, it's very possible to function on it. Cocaine has the sneaky effect of making me feel sharp, productive and completely in control when in reality I'm off my nut on Class A's and probably not that productive at all Grin.

Dizzy with a hangover here Confused but it could be worse.
Glad you're ok Zig Envy I'm guessing it was a farewell party for Mr.Zig before his glamorous world tour? why weren't we invited? Wink

Enjoy your Saturday all x

HoochiMama · 01/04/2017 09:43

Morning all, a tad hungover here too, pink Rioja is tres strong!

Welcome Dis, I am quite Jel of anyone who can still function well whilst under the influence, just as well I can't as would be a disaster Shock Glad you don't feel too bad Zig

Off to the seaside to stay with a friend, think I'll be down your way Lost

Have a good day everyone x

serialtester · 01/04/2017 09:51

Morning morning! Went to bed nice and early. Antsyness has passed thank fuck!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/04/2017 09:58

Have a good time with your friend, Hooch Is it the 29 year old Italian? Grin Some sea air will blow your hangover away!

Morning Serial phew I thought I'd poisoned you with ant powder. I was about to send out a Baywatch style search party.

serialtester · 01/04/2017 11:39

I'm imagining a gang of young men in swimming trunks looking for me!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/04/2017 11:56

5 tanned guys in tight shorts with muscles carrying those red plastic float things were on standby for you Serial.
I've told them to go home now, false alarm.

serialtester · 01/04/2017 12:58

Spoilsport!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/04/2017 14:19

Don't worry, the David Hasselhoff lookalike said he'll be waiting in the smug tree for us later if we want some extra surfboard training Grin
He's bringing a bottle of wine and some Doritos.

serialtester · 01/04/2017 16:51

Will he have a packet of fags tucked in his trunks?

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/04/2017 17:54

I think that's what the bulge is.
He also says we can use his portable float as an ash tray while we watch him demonstrate various surfboard techniques.

I'm quite looking forward to it.

serialtester · 01/04/2017 18:26

Meet you on the pier at 7?! No swimming though.

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/04/2017 18:47

I'm all ready in my fetching wetsuit and snorkel Grin

Hope everyone is holding tight this Saturday evening. Wine Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/04/2017 19:27

Flat Hope you are doing ok. Good luck if you have another meeting tonight x

I have a bad headache on one side of my head this evening Confused
I'm blaming the Jager Bombs last night, they need to come with a warning.
I've gone all sensible and booked myself in for an early pyjama appointment tonight.
