Look at someone like Shane McGowan could just never beat his demons such a talent and ended up a wreck at 30 Shane lived the rock'n'roll lifestyle and wrote some songs that will be remembered, and had a canny innings all things considered. Working class lads are lost. They walk around site as though they have shit themselves or have a muscular injury, that's the hard man walk. Dare you to make eye contact, and when you do, they crawl into a shell and have no idea how to hold a conversation with someone who is not intimidated by them. Then go home to a lazy fat lass who.

Jesus Christ, I need a drink and a listen to good music to recover for next time Edited yesterday at 20:49 by eastcoast was going to edit re old people still having teeth but chose not to.

Borr 8,157 Posted yesterday at 21:37 Report Share Posted yesterday at 21:37 I've worked on coke heavy sites, it's no fun , mood swings , their own mates selling it to them, even seen guys crying on the job totally fecked , I've had to share digs with guys who spunk all their money on coke ask to borrow a few quid on Monday, it's a sad lonely existence. I've declined work where I know I'll be the one doing piss tests etc to cover the others. I'm guilty of having too many beers now and again but it doesn't compare to the wreckage of cocaine... thankfully the more extreme sites are behind me , although it's going on ,on most large sites , I try and avoid those .... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve never taken cocaine but have been around it abit through one thing or another and I’ll say this. Over the years I’ve seen people chuck their lives away with drink or gambling or whatever and everyone one of them I just always had a feeling they were running from something and just wanted to hit the off button and I reckon this cocaine is the very same. During the 80s in Dublin there was concerned citizens groups set up to deal with the heroin epidemic that’s is still on going and with the help of the republican movement they were knocking dealers doors and moving them out. The government and Gardai jailed some of the leaders of the groups and shut them down and that taught me drug problems in an area are let happen to keep people in their place. I hope anyone who’s struggling gets the help they need and come out on the other side better and wiser men because their really is no future in it Your [BANNED TEXT] no future in yet but it,s when the Drug Dealer,s want there money back of the young runners then the trouble starts .Iv,e seen alot of good young lives been lost because they hadant got the cash to get out and sadly ended there lives because they didnt want to get there family,s involved.

THE STIFFMEISTER 17,432 Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Just now, scotty12 said: You just need to slow down a little when you hit a certain age those day time clubbing events are no different from @wilf playing walking football To be honest , it’s a bit of a band aid as I’m meant to be away with work on the Sunday since this was planned. current options are : plan a ) night out, hone by 2ish , theee at the latest . Both drinking. Survive in work for a day . plan b ) day clubbing about half an hour away , home by midnight tops , her drinking , me off to work bright and fresh plan c ) this is the most likely . Plan b escalates into inclusive of plan a , Sunday 6 am sees me and her , unable to stand the sight of each other , arguing about something i probably did and until then unaware of, in about 2014, as we wait on an uber in the rain at Middlesbrough train station. Late for work . 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
