Co-op are probably the most ethical of all the supermarkets, so there should be no shame in using them.

Although Captain Louis Carey took an elbow to the head in the first half and suffered a fractured skull.
On the plus side, him being a local lad, he didn't want to cause a fuss, so he played the rest of the game winning headers all over the place, before going to hospital after the game where the x-rays confirmed his skull was indeed fractured.
I cooked a lovely curry earlier too.

Had some kind of weird episode on Thursday night where I thought my drink might have been spiked (probably hadn't), and haven't been right since. Dunno why. Have cut right back on the marijuana and might try and give up when what I have has run out, or at least take a break; could be the booze though; could be last week running out of medication and using my 2-year old pill stash; could be my brother keeping liquid acid in the house; could just be some kind of stupid episode. I've really not felt right throughout this weekend. Have been generally freaked out and my fingers and toes have been tingling. And seem to have suddenly started posting loads on b3ta again like I'd told myself I wouldn't.
I have got out to the pub however, and had a few evening meals with my folks, and listened to some music. Same old shit there I guess.

Omare the guy was, a lovely man too. Looking at him; about six foot eight, a mile wide and black as the night's sky you'd assume like I did that he was probably a Jamaican drug lord.
