    Well, this is it. In the UK social stuff revolves around going to a pub. I'm supposed to be catching up with various people over the forthcoming weeks and this would normally be done in the boozer. Drinking cokes all night would be met with grave suspicion and a degree of contempt. So the options are to break the resolution or become a recluse. It's 50-50 at the moment....

    Regards, Rob Philpott.

    It's not too hard to do. Having given up drinking as part of a plan to lose some weight last year, I found that to start with it felt a bit odd ordering J20 and soda etc but now it feels fine, i suspect that most people don't really care what you're drinking as long as you don't spend all the time you're with them commenting on what they are drinking. On top of that most people are glad to get a lift home.

      Here I am, back at work for the first time since 22/12/08. Office is Freezing, there is snow on the ground, I have had to hand crank the pc's this morning! (Not literally) I look around and think... Thank heavens I am back at work, I love my family but 2 weeks stuck together is too much for a chap to bear! Slowly warming up and thinking of starting some work, but in the meantime, Tea and Biscuits! (Alas all I am allowing myself, gotta lose weight) I also have an agreement with my brother, we are spending a month dry, so no booze until Feb! (5 days down, 26 to go!) Who else is glad to be back at work?

      Having never left work I'm not sure I'm any more glad for today than any other day. We make code while the sun's not shining so there is no rest over winter. :)
