It's in there. Being completely divorced from reality and convinced that every fever dream is truth leads to some strange places.

My brother's visiting for the first time since he moved abroad last year. The siblings and myself are all getting together at our folks to shatter their well earned peace and quiet.

I missed the lanky git.

I do 5 12 hours shifts one week and then 2 12s the following.
Week 1 days m,t,f,s,s Week 2 days w,t Week 3 nights m,t,f,s,s Week 4 nights w,t

I love it. After bank holidays and annual leave I work 158 days a year. With the way the shifts are organized I can take 2 days of leave and be off work for a week.

I've likely been to more shows and concerts in the last two years than in rest of my adult life.

I'm a drunk with a job. I'd imagine I'd be a drunk without a job for a bit before the first one again.

Yeah. I fell pretty shitty about it to be fair.

I'd been going out with this girl for a couple months. We'd been getting on great. I was really struggling with keeping a handle on my alcoholism at the time and did something embarrassing one evening. Also lost my phone that night. I woke up with the shames, got a new phone number and never spoke to her again.

In retrospect I probably shouldn't have been dating if my anxiety was going to let me toss what could have been a good thing because I couldn't have a conversation the next day.

For a while there I was a homeless alcoholic. Now I'm an alcoholic. Given the choice between the two I know which I'd rather.

I process meat. My hands are rarely dirty but sometimes there seepage through my overalls.

24 bottles but yeah.

I used to unload trucks in an absolute madhouse.

The heat in the back of the transparent roofed trailers in summer was a nightmare so some of the lads would strip down to their boxers then pop their boots and high vis back on. We eventually got cameras installed pointing down the trailers and we're suddenly required to be fully clothed at all times. Our shift lead took particular offense to this and flashed his cock at the camera whilst shouting obscenities. He didn't come back to work the next day.

We had 4 guys sacked for not only opening customers parcels but for taking fireworks out of said parcel and taping them to Frisbees which they then threw to each other. One inevitably went off in one fella's hand. He eventually managed to sue for unfair dismissal somehow.

Another guy was caught trying to sneak a slab of wine out to his car.

I lived in tents for the better part of a year. I'd set up anywhere with a bit of cover that wasn't frequently walked through. Woods mostly.

I'm off to strain the spuds.

Only irchighway these days. Gotta get my book fix in.

All the payphones have been turned into little homes for defibrillators.

I can't use my banking app on lineage and those wonderful folk at the bank have made it so that you cant confirm online purchases without.

Never trust a fart.

I'd never really considered that people might not have seen coal burn.

In Ireland both coal and turf are still fairly common as the primary method of heating. That said they are "trying" to phase it out.

What's green and sticky?

I used be a an absolute fiend for biting my nails. What fixed it was buying a little Swiss army knife nail set. It's got a wee little nail clippers and file. It fulfilled the need for nervous movement.

IRC is where it's at. In the many years I've been using it to download books there's only been a handful of books I've been unable to find.

Do you have any experience with how CBD work coming from the perspective of a heavy smoker?
