:olddude: ...from time to time, I glance at my *profile simply for the sake of comparing the difference between the number of times *it has been viewed by others and my total number of posts to date. On this particular occasion, I happened to notice that it had been looked at 8,857 times ... which - when deducted from my present total of 9.604 - left 747. :rolleyes: ... and the thought that immediately sprang to mind was, of course, 'Boeing 747'! :airline:

:crazy:? Or is anyone else "assailed" by such weird & wonderful musings?

That's just the point :rolleyes: ... I AM out - a lot more than normal, these days - to distract myself from the almost irresistible urge to reach for my pipe whenever I'm typing. Which explains why my post output has dropped recently.


No Arthur....... I think you are on your own there my friend :crazy: :icon_lol:

:cwm24: ... oh dear ... it's most likely the effects of nicotine deprivation! :23_111_9[1]:

Y'see folks ... I haven't smoked for nearly 3 weeks - "not so much as a puff", as Terpe would say. And the reason IS ... I'm waiting to go into hospital for a minor operation (no :icon_lol: ... NOT on my brain! :NoNo:) and have been advised to stop smoking in order to minimise the risks involved with a general anaesthetic! :doh

Thanks, Steve ... I'm still waiting to hear from Perth Royal Infirmary. Hence my sense of frustration! I've quit smoking before - several times - but this has been the MOST difficult, by far! :Rasp:

Arthur, I'm sorry to learn you need to go into hospital. Nobody likes going there.
I hope all goes well and you get home asap feeling like a new man.
BTW, do try to keep up the good work with the no smoking when you get home. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I've quit smoking before - several times.....

In theory if you've always started again then you've never actually quit ;)

That's really good. My hubby stopped like 5 days ago still and he's really irritable. My mum-in-law got tired of him being so annoying and offered that she will buy him a packet of fags just to shut him up :Rasp:
