The Person Below Me...
Re: The Person Below Me...
Mate I could easily light up again after these many years on the smoke wagon. There are some simple pleasures that just never permanently leave one’s system. I could slide back to 2 packs a day easy.
TPBM will never entirely give up booze even if told by numerous independent quackery it’s a personal death warrant in their case.

Re: The Person Below Me...
Yeah, slipped back into that smokking trap a while back, and then again over christmas....just about outta the system now, expecting the worst of it to be over by tomorrow or Friday...3 weeks from now I'll wonder why I ever even had that 'one' that lead to another...
Dunno, never been told it's a personal Death warrant, I may well do so...or not. You would have to see how it was framed I suppose. Hypothetically if a practioner of Quackery said you have 3 years if you stop drinking, or 2.8 years if you do not...
Speaking of Quackery...I had a great Uncle that lived to 104 & for 65+ years he beleived Doctors were evil and in that time never visited a single one!
He avoided smokes (mostly? Dunno when he was younger), alcohol (Mostly, though at age 96 he was once spotted buying a case of mid strength Beer), dairy products, meat or fish (I think Fish), lived only on Fruit & Vegetables. Nowadays he'd probably be labelled a rampant Vegan!
I is of the belief, as was Janet Holmes A Court, that if God wanted us to be Vegans, He/She wouldn't have given us teeth like these!
TPBM also will not be turning 'vegan'

Re: The Person Below Me...
True. The day I become vegan is the day I turn poof.
Reminds me - I once asked a mate if he’s ever banged a homo.
He replied no, but he’s banged a guy who had!
TPBM has never experimented in batting for the other team.

Re: The Person Below Me...
No I have not, but I read an article to suggest that it is more common than not (find it hard to beleive, but maybe it's true I don't get out enough)... but written by a self serving MSM sexologist so maybe stats stats and facts, or outright lies, or perhaps truth, or just to sell a column in a lowest common denominator 'News' outlet?
I'm a very boring and much vilified!, Looooong time faithful committed married (to a Female!) white male.....I'm the worst of the worst I tell ya! Unlikely to survive in current form if the PC mob have their way!
TPBM also wonders how the LGBTI rest of the Alphabet people came to have so much sway, and what is their % of the wider populace? (Without knowing what that % is) then, ..Should one day members of similarly % represented members of society demand that their (whatever) be accepted?

I've given up trying to keep track of the alphabet soupers. They can do what they want, as long as I don't have to hear about it.

Amen to that. I am more interested in my own.
TPBM has considered joining a monastery.

True. For almost three seconds.

Organised religions yes (‘cept Buddhism). Spirituality is a completely different animal.

Not sure! I am an agnostic but feel moved to something akin to spiritual when I look up into the night sky and see the majesty of the heavens!

Gob,I will give you Cassiopeia in the northern sky if you give me the Southern Cross in the southern sky.

The Thai wilderness isn’t all that wilder but yes away from town on a cloudless night the sky can be spectacular.

TPBM enjoys gazing at the night sky....... ( the "whilst camping in the wilderness." bit is entirely redundant)
No have not witnessed the splendour of either through a high power telescope
TPBM used to look at the moon through binoculars when about 10 yrs old..

Re: The Person Below Me...
Yes often as well as the tanga clad body of my neighbour friend's mom sunbathing by their pool.
TPBM never fancied one of his mates' mom's.
PS - If TPBM is female and fancied their mate"s mom then that's fine too!

Nope. Me old man had a Newt reflector and could bloody near see the footprints of Armstrong. A full moon was boring, but a partial one brung out the shadows of the craters hills and peaks to a very striking effect.
TPBM believed in 1969 we’d be taking holidays on Mars.
Bugga! Gob’d.
False. I had the hots for a number of me mates’s mums. When I was 13 Jim Hogan’s mid 30’d mater (Cath) was bloody hot to say the least!
TPBM during their late teens preferred older women rather than the available femalery their own age.

Indeed, and a bloody good preference it was, too.

...Yes! Ha ha....I have not encountered that term before, very true!
TPBM enjoys sardines mashed onto toast for breakfast. Knowing the Omega 3 stuff s good for you...well for now at least....(remember when eggs were the worst things you could supposedly ever eat!)

Not for breakfast, but toasted cheese, sardines & tomato sangers for lunch hit the spot on a cold day.
TPBM likes to buy their lunch on Fridays.

Re: The Person Below Me...
Certainly!
Until I was in my mid thirties I was into university student cooking and, in the RAF, never had to cook a meal for myself unless it was chucking all the stuff in various cans into a mess tin and heating it up. Some 10 years living in Italy taught me to treat food as something more than fuel and I learned from some of the best cooks in the country; mostly grandmother's who lived as 'contadini' and grew all their own food.
I don't have many talents but, thanks to the above, I can cook. I love having family and friends around to eat.
We rarely eat out.
TPBM thinks beef and mango casserole is to die for.

Re: The Person Below Me...
I could possibly agree if Iwas to taste same,not having the recipe to fettle a sample makes it hard.Perhaps a look at your recipe would be a cure.
