Gonna go along to the first race?



There will be. I would if I was there..

Luckily, I had already left uni because the finals are a few weeks after uni's over but that was just downright barbaric.

Quite surprised really. We won the President's Trophy again so things were looking good. A much earlier exit than I expected.

It's not over yet! Got a bit of money on the handicap too. Canucks by 3 would make me very very happy.

i'm starting to get into hockey now. No team as of yet but I warmed to nashville last night. canucks game is probably on too late to watch.

chose to watch rangers v senators ahead of flyers v penguins tonnight as the series seemed more in the balance.

3-3 first period in the flyers game. fml.

They had a 12-goal game the other night too, I belive. FYL.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

yeh but i didn't watch a game that night do it's not like i really misased out.

Also apologies to everyone for my uncharacteristically downbeat and bummed out post a little earlier. I'll make up for it with a story about how i "made out" (there was like minimal tongue, at most) with a woman in her mid fifties last friday night...

10000!

In fairness, I've given up drinking, and everyone is roundly ripping the ---- out of me, making me consider running away until my demons are well and truly beaten.

I've cut back a lot lately too. just not wanted to that much. had a 26 hour bender that started last friday but that was for a merseyside derby fa cup semi final. I couldn't have coped otherwise. but only had maybe 3-4 nigths in town since my birthday in january until then.

got exams coming up in 5-6 weeks so will still be keeping it lowkey but then a 2 weeks lads holiday after that which should be fun.

majourly messed up second year of uni again. haven't been to labs. so i'lll have to resite a year just for that module, providing i can ace all my exams and they actually let me back in. could feasibly throw me out. which wouldn't be ideal.

Last last Friday I had a HUGE night. HUGE! Can't remember a thing and couldn't move until 4pm on the Saturday and I had a bit of an eye-opening chat about family history of liver issues, so my hand was more or less forced.. That was only my 2nd night out in 7 weeks (first being with treva). It's not as though I can't do it but my best mate especially is ripping me to shreds about it, and that's hard to take.

Also, 2nd year again? How old are you?

 

[ste_mc_efc]

21.

you giving it up permanently or just for a month or so?

 

[Manly]

As long as I can go, ideally permanently. Done 3 months on the spin before, but it's going to take a whole heap of will-power.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

seems a touch excessive tbh, unless you're someone who can's just have one and go home. surely it's better to just cut back than to give up completely?

 

[Manly]

I lose control, I only drink to get drunk, and at least ?50 later I'm done.


Also are you watching this Pens game? 6-3 half way through the game.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

nope. decided to stick to the senators.

only 2-1 but it's heating up. Sick moment too then, power player for NYR at 2-0. saved on the last second by ottawa, rebound goes right up the ice for the player coming back onto the ice to set up a goal. they proper clung on for the power play too. if they go 3-0 there it's game over and 3-1 down in series. flyers are 3-0 for the series so not as tense.

NB:I definitely chose the wrong game to watch but i'm committed now so going to just defend it anyway

 

[Manly]

Stuck a quid on Pens to win by 2 just now. That's soon disappeared.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

lol. cool bet.

Definitely think hockey is my american sport now. Baskbetball bores me to death. too many points scored to get excited by any of the moments.

I gave the nfl a fair go and watched a few games because a few of my poker mates who are always up late love it and bet on it a lot, but it's too stop and start for me and doesn't hold my attention.

And i've never bothered with baseball. nothing about it makes me want to watch it.
