Come on gents (and ladies) you have only one life enjoy it.

Personally don't see the point in exercise, but I am lead to believe that some enjoy it.

My Idea of exercise - walk to car, drive to Off licence, reverse back, open bottle - and no I am not joking.

When my time comes, it comes, had a good innings so far, why worry.
Think about all that time wasted keeping fit, you might live longer but subtract the time "wasted" exercising and I bet it comes out the same.

Knees are not too bad, it my back that's gone, never been right after lifting a TV upstairs, went again a couple of weeks ago and I thought sod this and I'm now paying out £50 a week in chiropractor sessions  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

so far,,,, 2 knee ops, 1 broken leg, 4 crushed vertebrae, 9 smashed teeth,

I'm fit as a fiddle and have noo regrets,, just memories of crazy days..

Whats the point? Dear me, this site should be named the FL2 Eventide Home. Hot Cocoa anyone? You lot should be ashamed of yourselves. you dont need to go OTT, but some exercise is good for both your mind and bodies and cut out the fags and booze and you'd be halfway there.

I likes me beer and a few smokes and i'm very very happy.
You might think you live longer by being super fit.

It just feels like you do

You can so tell she doesn't read this forum! 

Let's not pull any punches, smoking and drinking is a NO, NO. It can't be justified under any circumstance.

CG, you appear to spend that much time on this site, I've come to the conclusion that you certainly don't do housework and Chickens look after themselves.

I agree smoking is a big NO, but drinking in moderation can't be that bad my great gran had a sherry every day of her life and lived to 104 Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I know where you are coming from, but I had a Gran that smoked 20 Players Navy Cut every day and lived until she was 96. If she hadn't smoked, she'd probably still be alive today.

Alcohol is mind altering, the Opium of the masses. How many days lost at work, broken marriages? How many altracations between people, assaults, domestics, rape, sexual offences, drink drivers, not including those that only had one and were still legal, but their drink slowed their reaction by a fraction and they killed someone? Cost to the NHS? Sorry, but you cant convince me that alcohol is anything but bad. People that say that are in denial. A drinker is a latent Alcoholic. It's more addictive than Crack, more wide spread than anything else and unfortunately more accepted.

Alcohol is a strong, addictive, mood changing drug, period. Some people can limit it, but one drink is one too many.

It's like a Cigarette smoker saying I one have one a day. Apart from disbielief your sticking to one, it's bad for you. You might not get lung cancer and you might die of something totally unrelated, but if you asbuse your body there will be some effect, no matter how small.

Exactly the same with alcohol, just because it's socially more acceptable, don't be hoodwinked and go into denial. There are a lot of people that are alcoholics that simply dont acknowledge it or think their consumption is reasonable.

Yes, I believe in a free society,but smoking or drinking effects me! No matter if it's getting a whiff of a fag from the designated smoking point going into the supermarket or smelling alcohol on someones breath or just the fact that my taxes are paying for some person to have his head stitched or even worse, his wifes head stitched.

Give me one good reason to keep alcohol? You can't can you. It isn't enhancing anyones life, it's just a drain on society.

Had the same arguement with my Doctor. She tried to defend alcohol as being okay in moderation. The conversation got cut short when I asked her about her daily consumption! Says it all.
