Oh no don’t worry, I’m not offended, I’m looking for a second opinion.

You see Very Rusty, who is a person I’ve never chatted to for hours on the phone btw, thinks I’m an alcoholic because he saw me posting on here while I was drunk one night during the football Euros.

Anyway he likes to mock me about what he sees as my alcoholism, because he doesn’t like me, but ...[text shortened]... ering opinion about my posting and wether I do indeed mostly post as though I was completely wasted.
You never come across as being drunk to me.

I, on the other hand, have made many bad moves after having wine.

YUP,.. You do come across as an alcoholic as far as I am concerned.
It takes one to know one right.
Ok let’s try again…

Seeing as this is what you honestly believe, why do you think it is acceptable to mock me about it? Given that you are proud and preachy moraliser of your own sobriety.

I see. Let’s get this absolutely clear then…

Because I’m replying to your posts, in a way which you disapprove of, you feel it justified to mock me about what you HONESTLY perceive as my alcoholism.

That’s what you’re saying right?

NO, what I don't care for is you stalking my posts.

Butting into conversations, I think I may start doing that to you and see how you feel about it.

Also, we both know you have a problem with Alcohol! Thousands do, you're not alone.

Who do you want to kill the the most? Cyclists on the footpath/sidewalk for me, or people who put their bags on chairs in busy trains and look offended when asked to move them.
Probably people who derail a thread to have their own pointless arguments...


...and immigrants. F those guys.

Actually he knows what I think of you trying to hide your Alcoholism gooster!

I believe Huck has done well sober for 4 weeks is an achievement.

No, You were butting into my conversation for the hell of it, don't twist the story.

Your alcoholism is another story. Of course you aren't one until you admit it to yourself. What do you do after our little back and forth bantering session. Go to the Fantasy Tavern and ask the bartender to line up some shots.

For me personally if I go a few days without coffee. I get this splitting headache. All in my mind?

No, that's the caffeine playing tricks with you, or the lack of it but i don't get them when i have a break and I drink at least 4 espresso shots a day so I guess it's all personal.

Indeed it could be a personal thing. Just 2 days and get this splitting headache you wouldn't believe, I have a coffee not long afterwards the headache goes away. I must mention that to my Doctor and see what she makes of it. Now I get 2 extra large coffee's so I don't know if that would be any different, than your 4 expresso shots a day. I know caffeine is addictive though. Nice you don't get any headaches!

Folks ahead of me in the checkout queue. When they spend 10 minutes waiting to be served then the cashier asks for payment and they spend 5 minutes rummaging through bags, purses, wallets and pockets looking for a credit card. Then another 5 minutes repeating the same ritual looking for their loyalty card.
Bloody swines.

That sounds a bit like me, in that, depending on which card I use to make payment, I, on occasion, struggle to remember the code.🤔😳😡😉
