I would hope so. It is a port, after all.

This could all get a bit surreal!

or how high it is, or what angle it is at.......I think DBTS might know most on this naval subject

and indeed where the sun is...

and what if it's cloudy?

Play safe, and get pouring anyway!

good point, can't see it from inside the pub

BTW where is Shanghai and do they have pubs there?

It's a little fishing village in China, and apparently they do (or bars, anyway).

To hell with where the sun is, Nick O'Teen says I need a drink and I hate drinking alone...

Day 2 update: -

Did anyone else feel very hungry all the time when they gave up?

I am starving all day long and I have such a sweet tooth (very unusual for me) at the moment. I even got Ann to make me some homemade jam tarts last night

Does one's sense of smell return fast?

I am noticing smells I didn't know where there before. I have noticed that Natasha is her daddy's daughter alright. Some of her trumps are beyond description!!!!!!!!!!

Great news Sean, if I knew it would not be misunderstood I would say, 'Keep it up!'

DBTS is saying what worked for him, what works for you may be very different. In spite of our schooling at CH we are all individuals and react differently. (Long may that continue!)

Why thank you Katharine and you know very well that I am too innocent to misunderstand any innocent post made here! (I have been know to tell the odd little white lie)

Everyone's support is making the difference

good. hope you are maintaining your vigil/non smoking/eating type whatsname.

I'm making no sense so I'm going home now.

Following on from Mrs C's thought about money ...... why dont you take a bundle of tenners to the local PO or wherever and change them for 50pence pieces. (note I avoided the term 50 pee as I did not want to divert)

Every time you think you need a ciggy (how much do they could cost these days?), you could say - no I wont have one, I'll put this 50 pence piece in this 'ere money box instead.

I know you may think that this is going to prove ruinously expensive for you, but then .............. it was anyway! If you get really impoverished very quickly, it might enable you to stop thinking about ciggies. Remember Pavlov's dogs?

PS When you are at last a non-smoker - and only then - you can unlock the money box and take a holiday abroad with the proceeds.

Decisions, decisions, decisions - where to place this supposedly all-important post?? Well, looks like I`ve decided, doesn`t it??!!


I hope today`s been a bit easier Sean!
