-4 I was having chicken with me rice tonight but dad took me out for lunch so I had me meat allocation at lunch and had a lovely mooing bit of steak.

Big feet... because you know what they say about big feet. Books: romance or thriller

@Doreensfree oh your thank you is way better than a sparkly gold star.

@Wee fluffy me pretty sure any special thank yous @reciprocity has will be reserved for @MrTitwank for keeping my crazy on a tight leash... I'll be happy with a nice sparkly gold star and maybe a free drink card for the next Lido Deck celebration.

Vamp - yep another double meaning word.... To vamp... can mean either to spruce, dress, fancy something up but with a sort of slutty overtone... She was really vamping up her performance.. or To Vamp means to pull and all nighter... ie You want to pull a vamp with me (this is more modern)... then you can be a Vamp ... a slightly slutty femme fatale.

As you should all know, and with thanks to @Cbdave and his Australian Navy connections we are expecting our Master of Ceremonies @reciprocity back on board tomorrow. Before his return I'd just like to check with some of you Old Phartes that things are tip top in preparation for his return. Thanks to @Sslip and the Wees ( @Wee fluffy me & @WeegieWoman ) for hooking me up on the bucket department after my bucket incident earlier this week. Although I do think you went overboard just a bit.... Having a bucket meant I was finally able to get the blood off the carpet in Reci's office (don't ask but I can promise I wasn't trying to unlock the locked desk draw with his letter opener), and clean up the Lido Deck after the mess it was left in after last weeks celebrations for @ClaireP1973 ascension to the status of Old Pharte... so now I need to shout out to my very special Port Chop for giving up his time to sit there and make sure I cleaned it all to Reci's exacting standards and teaching me that sometimes I do like to take orders. Would you look at how sparkly the Lidi Deck is... PLEASE @Boo, @Whispers and @BKP make sure it stays that way until Reci is home. and I'm pretty sure I nailed the repairs to his desk chair and he wont be noticed, what do you think???.. Pork Chop artwork completes the repair in my opinion. OH who else is there to thank.... hmmm.... how could I forget my girl @jillar for filling the breach when someone wasn't on the list. You rock bunny buttski, what a ledg And lastly for me new girl @Sazerac thank you so much for your intervention with the rascally tits and making sure we got reci's tit message to let us know he was in danger... even if you did try to usurp the status quo of the congrats boards and brought a bit of anarchy to our lives. You my darling kept me on my toes but without you reci would probably still be stuck on that island or with those unscrupulous tanker people who originally picked him up. Oh and thanks to @Nancy , @Doreensfree , @PeaceTrain and everyone else for the encouragement and support, I really do like to be told I'm a good girl. Lastly thanks to everyone on the train for putty up with my meager efforts to fill Reci's impressive, large and somewhat clown like shoes.

@TravellingSunny the QSMB just died one day and the lovely people on the quit train welcomed its refugees with open arms. Everyone here, old and new, give amazing support, advice and help. I think @beazel or @Nancy might know how to access some of the old posts, I heard word of a way back machine but I was only a new member at the time.

Sorry @Wee fluffy me and also that other Wee.... was autopiloting to get in before someone else... Toey - (Toe - ee)... To be nervous, anxious or horny.... so The Black Caviar (a race horse) was never toey in the starting blocks.... She was feelin a bit toey before her bloke came over.... or... I'm a bit toey about me performance review from @reciprocity

Ohh I can pop in the Q weegie didn't have... Queen of the South - a woman who likes to gossip / has a big mouth. ..... ie. "Be careful what ya say to Mary she's the frickin Queen of the South" we up to S now...

The Police Sport: Football or Cricket/Baseball (See I'm making it international any football code, or a sport with teams having a batting side and a fielding side.

Is it cos we don't spell in don't spell in a Welsh accent?

Packin it - (Packing It or Packing Darkies) - Literally being so afraid you are shitting your pants. "Mate did ya see Bruce when the coppers rocked up he was fair packing it" - "Did you see how scared Bruce was when the police arrived" @Sslip, yeah pretty much what we would say, we would just say cow... and being Aussie I get the friendly insult.

Thanks everyone for the support I really do appreciate it. Many of you have made some great points and said some things that mean more than you can realise. I think I need to point out I didn't start this as a thread to bash Joel. I actually get a lot from most of his videos. Sure he advocates the cold turkey approach and just as equally he respects anyone who has quit using other methods if that was what worked for them. In the video I was upset about it was a statistic he quoted from a study of successful quitters and what they reported it was part of an entire conversation and when I was a bit down my b1tch of a nicodemon fixed on 1% because I like numbers, they have value for me so in a dwindling supply of ammunition that was what was on repeat. It had nothing to do with Joel said... it was purely 1%... a little number and a mathematical symbol. So I had a public dummy spit, ranted and raved and beat my little cyber fists in a public declaration. For me, just like Beazel said, that was what I needed to do to fight that little battle. Have a rant, chuck a wobbly, have a tantrum. Much better this time of night on Sunday. Thanks again to everyone. Wait, what? Does this mean once I'm at the Lido deck we are over?... No more spankings???

Congratulations @KT1973 for being 7 months smoke free!! You have a great quit there KT and have fought the good fight to keep it strong. I hope your kicking back and celebrating all your achievements this Sunday because all your hard work needs the recognition. That Lido Deck and 12 months is getting closer each day. Keep up your stellar efforts.

Congratulations @Jules1977 for being 5 months smoke free. 5 months is a great achievement. You have worked hard to get to this miles stone so take some time today to spoil yourself. Make sure to celebrate. Next month is a big one, almost half the way to freedom. You can do this. KTQ

Baez is looking good but it feels like Darvish was a big white elephant (dud deal, waste of money)... 5 run outing including 4 walks and we gave him a 6 yeaqqr contract... needs to pull his finger out his arse.

OOh a twoofa .... well I'm leavin me L me L and asking for a translation of what someone from Kent called me in a pm last night, Mare wotsit???? @Sslip ... I got the gist, I want the actual..

Legit - Legitimate.... just don't say the second half of the word... told ya wee were lazy as

Jiffy - (rhymes with stiffy).. means in a short amount of time. ie... I'll be there ina jiffy. (I will be there very soon) And cos wee like ta shorten everything.... Jiff... as in "Give us a jiff"... "Just give me a second please"

yawning... it seems at 4.15 in the morning the sleep monster has decided to come visit.
