    Thanks Maman and CathyBird. I've no idea where the time has gone, but it's been a real eye-opener. One of the weirdest things about is that I keep finding myself thinking, 'Why would s/he do that?' when I hear about someone doing something odd, and then realise they were probably drunk, and then, 'That used to be me.' Life is just much more straightforward without booze. I couldn't have done it with everyone who contributes on this thread, so thank you one and all, and especially Shaggy and Baileys.


    27/31 please, Baileys.
    Better is good enough.
