After reading Pigtins comments about smoking and drinking. Its true if we didnt do it we would be rich,or spend it on something else. I have never took a drink but I do smoke...too many. Its funny you know you are doing your health in but cant stop. What are your bad habits....if any.

None really. I like a moderate drink occasionally, but I suppose I'm quite boring really!

Oh, but I do support Welsh rugby. Laughing

I have never smoked, I don't drink very much. I have always spent too much money on silly old cars.

Don't smoke, very rarely drink but spend probably too much on books, parts and things to restore, (oh - i had better include interests in steam powered vehicles and boats)

You are right there Rick. How long do you spend each day on the forum.

I spend most of my money on booze and fags...the rest I just waste! Embarassed

Seriously, I haven't smoked for 40 years and I no longer drink but I enjoy rebuilding and showing stationary engines so a lot of cash goes on parts, paint for the engines and fuel for the van. Neighbour thinks that I am mad, but he will spend £40+ on a night out and all he will have the following day is a headache and a thinner wallet, I will have had an enjoyable weekend away in good company! Laughing
Now if I had room for a classic commercial then I really would see the cash disappear.

Pete.

When I was working full time (I am an old fogey now and only do three days a week). I used to work with several p*** heads. We used to finish early on Fridays and they would think nothing of spending £60 or £80 in the pub before they went home. Then they would say "How can you afford to run a car like that?"

Since I should have retired and I don't have to go to work I find I quite enjoy it. Whereas when I had to go I could always think of somethig else I would rather be doing. Is enjoying work another bad habit?

No, if you can enjoy it your onto a winner... I am never happier now I am self employed, no where near as much money coming in, but then hey I enjoyed this year, that's a strange concept looking back at recent ones....

I must admit to liking a beer or two, but at 25pence a pint who worries Laughing

Here is a photy of my brewery, I am improving my methods of full grain mash Real Ales all the time.


I don't smoke, gave that up 15years ago.

Nice scales, I retrieved a set of similar age to that from a skip behind the local post office where we used to live. They'd switched to digital Rolling Eyes
