    Lol... Just wanted to nail my position to the mast. so to speak! However, I didn't think that you were attacking anyone; simply challenging an opinion, which is absolutely fine (and welcomed)

    "People who like a drink", however could come across as indirectly meaning 'pissheads', which of course I'm not. Honestly, if it weren't for enjoying a nice glass of red, occasionally with meals, or the odd cold beer on a warm summer's day, I could give up alcohol altogether. As an example, I opened a can of beer last night, to watch the football, and half of it was left in the can... I just didn't 'need' it.

    I honestly derive more pleasure from my morning cappuccino! Again, which I only have ONE of per day. A caffeine addict I am not.

    You may have guessed that I'm fine with those who enjoy recreational drug use I(in moderation), but I do worry about how things are going these days (we're definitely on the same page with that). I don't know what the answer is, as soon as a particular "formula" is made illegal, the scumbag manufacturers just make one or two alterations and go back into production with absolutely no conscience about the damage it does.
    Absolutely, on all counts. In terms of the bit in bold, however, my view is that if others can clearly tell you've taken drugs, even long before the stage of becoming 'zombied', then you've had too much. The effect should always be subtle, and contained within YOU. Therefore, having the odd spliff, just to chill after a hard day or whatever, is fine, as long as you don't *crave* it, and it turns into a habit that you can't control...

    That's the thing with me - there is absolutely *nothing" I'm addicted to, or couldn't stop if I wanted - and that's exactly how I like it!

    Another gorgeous day in sunny wrexham! Yesterday was glorious, and we enjoyed highs of 22C. Currently 20C, and just about to have breakfast, al fresco. Tomorrow is set to be similar. Happy days!

    Yup, for most of the UK today's set to be a cracker. Just my kind of weather: dry and sunny, but with a nice cool breeze (very low humidity) and spot on the right temp, currently 23C

    However.... Enjoy it while you can folks (do all your BBQ-ing, gardening or any other outdoor activities/jobs) TODAY, as tomorrow and the whole of next week, looks decidedly dodgy!!
