But if you cant control it, it will control you.

So true. And what a few here are saying, if you are unable to control it, don't do it.


BTW, I gave up that disgusting smoking habit 30 yrs ago..!! 

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference"

Sort of sums it up, regardless of your beliefs.

I grew up more worried more about what my mates thought, rather than what I actually valued. Drank too much, did lots if stuff I shouldn't have. I grew up with little parental guidance or communication.
When I had kids, it was a time for personal reflection. I didnt want them just going along with what everyone else did, drinking, drugs, bullying or anything else. I was determined for them to think for themselves, and give them the courage to stand up to their peers and say NO. ( I was actually ashamed of how weak a person I use to be)
Im proud of my 2 sons, they're far from perfect, yet able to make me feel a lesser man. They drink less than me, have never done drugs, have an great relationship with both Elaine and myself (she has to take most the credit) and stand by what they believe.
For myself, Ive cut down on the days I drink. Not drinking on work days at first was a challenge. To fill the void wasnt easy. Old habits as they say. But now it has become the norm.

I believe in everything in moderation my friends.
Dont spoil it with excess or austerity. Life's too short.
But if you cant control it, it will control you.

My 2c worth.

I have never been a drinker, but I don pt mind an ice cold great northern in the shed with a mate. I'm usually done after 3 or 4.

I use to "get on the piss with me mates" when younger, but I think they call that binge drinking. I have never seen the point of getting fkd up, then spend Saturday and Sunday laying on the couch. I've had mates promise to help me move, or help me with something and end up not showing and left me hanging. Why? Because they decided to get on the piss.

Smoking is my kryptonite. I wish I can give those up. I hate smoking, but the feeling of a durrie in the morning with coffee is great.

Drinking, smoking are both addictive, and I will admit, I am also an addict. And as an addict, I know how hard it is for some one to give something up. I wish them all the best. I wish there was an AA equivalent for smokers.

doesnt it get some pace up !!!!!!!!!!!

always put the hand brake on, even if you're upside down..

Poor wording on my part. Correct, built as a race car, but only used as an 05 display car.  Miedecke has the Aussie built Dencar Sierra.  The 2nd Rouse car was written off by the the late Barry Sheen in testing.  Hastily rebuilt and then crushed to avoid paying import taxes?

I was only going by the report on Speedcafe. Miedecke says the 2 Sierras were bought from Rouse in England and Miedecke owns one and the other one is in the hands of a british collector !
