    A cruise is half way between an All Inclusive and a City Break. All the food and drink you want on board but with new surroundings to explore every day. But yeah, it won’t be for everyone just as hopping between Eastern European shit holes won’t be. Personally I can’t think of anything worse than Bora Bora or any other ‘beautiful island’. There’s only so long I can look at a pretty beach for.

    I would like to do the Atlantic crossing to New York by boat at some point in my life. I'm not remotely arsed about New York (the old man went recently and said it was a toilet), but the boats interest me.

    My mates in New York at the moment. He text me this before:

    It’s just surreal as you’ve seen it on tv all your life.. was in Times Square yesterday with all the lights and yellow cabs and you just stand there looking around for 5 minutes. Asked a seller how much a pretzel was and he said $4 so paid him.. walked 20 yards down the road and there’s multiple signs on the others saying pretzels for $1.. got mugged off like the tourist I am. Was fuminggggg

    Expensive tho.. $8 for a beer or a Guinness

    $8 is €6.70. God help him if he ever came here.

    He went to Dublin for a stag do (I couldn't go) and I'm sure he did his best to not buy drinks.

    I don’t remember Dublin being that expensive. Was about 5€ a pint I think. A bit more than here, but it’s a Capital. There’s pubs in London taking deposits on glasses.

    I presumed all the tourists head for temple bar (about nine quid) instead of the real pubs. Though if you've found any pub in the city doing them for 5 then send me the name.

    It's a surreal place to be. I remember when I was living there, outside work they were filming the scene in batman where Bain is running out of the stock exchange.

    We’re going back 3 or 4 years and I don’t remember the prices exactly, just that they weren’t shocking. We did go to Temple Bar and I remember being offended by the amount of Americans, Stew and Self-stereotyping bands, so we only stayed for one. After that we were around the ‘river’ and mostly drank in the hotel bar, which was here.

    We will go back, but would want to stay in another part of the city. The problem is I have no idea where’s good, where’s not and what to do other than drink and listen to a tuneless chancers.

    Dublin is very small so it wouldn't matter where you stayed. But go to Cork or Limerick instead.

    What Giggsey said. Dublin is tiny for a capital. 3 day weekend was more than enough for me. Still, nice place.

    That sounds a bit too similar to our Skype sessions to be worth re-creating in an actual meet.

    Got some men in this weekend, switching out the standard polycarbonate conservatory roof and putting in a properly insulated [rubber] tiled one. Also having a radiator installed tomorrow and then plastered on Wednesday. Should be loads better after it. Expensive though!

    Meanwhile the missus is out on the piss in Liverpool all day. I’m just gonna play God Of War in-between watching the football.

    If it’s not raining on Monday I’ll go for a bike ride and have a few pints at the pub, at least.

    Ł3650.

    Next doors was cheaper (just under Ł3k afaik) but it looks garb and they left the old roof in, which will just lead to damp problems in a few years, according to my extensive research. My blokes have taken them out (I’m hoping they dispose of them for me ) and are replacing them with plasterboard (i think) double-wrapped in insulation foil, then another plasterboard to plaster over and fit six spotlights, and some old recycled tyres-cum-roof tiles on the outside. Oh and new guttering. So price includes plasterer and electrician.

    That is fairly cheap you nutbag. I had a quote at my old house for the same thing; 7k. It was a big conservatory but I decided to buy a new house instead.

    Yeah, ours is narrow but long (it’s the kitchen) so expect it would be closer to Quince’s. It’s just so fucking hot in there when the sun’s out and it’s loud as fuck when it rains. Back of a long list of shit that needs doing though.

    It's become cheap enough, easy to get hold of and still has some kind of cache (e.g. it's acceptable to be done in social circles of all types; from Waff's pikey bruvs to Tarquin's Eton chums).

    No sadder than not being able to do a night out without drink. I'd say a little less sad, actually, because when you start drinking on every night out you're in full ownership of your faculties, by the time the gear comes out you're about four pints deep and already in a somewhat altered state.

    It's a slippery slope and this is the natural end result of being too careless and refusing to moderate ya bullshit.

    I loved MD at uni, a couple of older wiser friends told me to ration it because there's a finite number of times you can do it before it "loses the magic". I was like yeah sound WHATEVER MATE and just did it virtually every other weekend, cus it was fun. Now there's practically no point in doing it because it doesn't really do anything anymore. If I'd been smart about it I probably could have done it three or four times a year indefinitely.

    Coke is a bit scarier because it's quite moreish, and cus it hasn't got the same horrible come downs it's far easier to be tempted into having a CHEEKY LINE on a really low-key night at the pub, barbeque, whatever the fuck it is that Waff does at the weekend etc. It can be easy to fall into the trap of seeing it as a enhancer of all drinking occasions, and I also know a few people who have a shit time and seem super disappointed if they go on a night out and it doesn't materialise. I think it can be a fun thing if limited to special occasions, and it's sufficiently prohibitively expensive for that to be quite easy for me. If i won the lottery i'd be dead within a fortnight though.

    I never mentioned addiction of either. But anyway, one is illegal and one isn't.

    Anyway alcohol isn't a drug, it's a drink.

    I think it's difficult to gauge them against each other, and it's all contextual. What's worse, having the odd pint or having the odd line? Not sure. What's worse, having a "bit of a coke problem" or a "bit of a booze problem"? Fuck knows. Being a full on addict of either would also be equally fucking shit.

    The one obvious advantage being a heavy boozer over being a heavy coke user is the variables of not necessarily knowing what nasty shit your gear is being mixed with, and I can vouch for that after thinking I was going to have a heart attack after a heavy night on gear which turned out to be probably as much speed as it was good old fashioned Colombian shit.
