Perhaps “Noah” was an option you chose not to take.
Ah, no.

Actually it was post flood and some time after disembarking the Ark. Noah had planted and harvested a vineyard and it was from those grapes which he made wine and got drunk, not on the ark.
"Noah had quite a session on the ark" did indeed include some artistic license.

'Noah had quite a session sometime after the flood in a vineyard' didn't have quite the same gravitas.

So you knew that the event was some time post ark but decided to present the account differently to gain more impact?


Edit; why does this ring a bell...

It was a throwaway joke.

Alas, I don't have Noah on speed dial to check these things.

And yet you validate your biblical claims by citing your theological degree at what seems like every opportunity you get.

Blimey, two interesting topics in one thread.

I gave up smoking after reading “How to give up smoking - the easy way” by Alan Carr many years ago.

He explained exactly what you are talking about here; the psychological addiction vs the physical one. I was convinced that I was some sort of drug addict and couldn’t get unhooked until I read that book.

There were ...[text shortened]... sn’t even wake you up in the night!

Part 2 was utter enlightenment for me and I was finally free.
I used to wake to have a smoke, I managed to pack in using lozenges, smoked a few joints since, but 28 years without ciggies.

It was the one after dinner I struggled giving up. (Was the last one to go).

It appears you don't want another verbal thrashing come your way! 🙂 😛

Damn I was just going to get the popcorn going, better hold off on that for now! 😉

Reading over some of the latest responses I am getting the "smell" of Testosterone.

One olfactory stimulant which used to trigger a negative reaction in me was the smell of neat gin.

As youngsters a friend and myself collaborated to buy a bottle of Hogarth’s Gin at what I remember as being £3.79 at that time. We took it out to the local park and sat in the middle of the vast expanse of grass and drank enough of it to make us vomit.

I couldn’t touch gin for about 15 years but nowadays I seem to have no problem with that delicious aroma.

Does the taste also count as a smell?

Yes, it should.
Sometimes when I feel the scent of a perfume I had ages ago, I still recall where I lived, where I worked, the people I was seeing, the situation I was in.
