    Really? Was thinking about getting some but maybe not now :confused:

    It could well be beneficial, but studies so far seem to be inconclusive. However, if it helps to alleviate the desire to drink, then I'd give it a go!!

    I like the idea of something giving me & my liver a helping hand on the days when I'm not drinking. Might have to do a bit more research first tho

    Aren't you supposed to hit them on the nose with a rolled uo newspaper? :D

    ps.can you tell I never had a puppy? :p

    You have to be firm and tell him to stop - no idea about a tap on the nose :confused: but puppy certainly needs to know that he's not allowed to bite - but then give lots of reassurance.............

    PHOTOS!!!! (please)

    I have just rearranged some furniture in order to try & get some heat circulating in Bear Towers :rolleyes:

    Think it's worked but the effort has wiped me out (I'm so bad at me being ill :o) Might go back to bed or perhaps snooze on the sofa... :confused:

    Sea, brilliant AF achievement & likewise YM with the smoking :T
