every single day for about ten years. He's still not free of the grip of booze, the poor cunt.

And several of them are properly fucked up. Takes a strong personality to resist such things when they're so easily available.

Is this shared proclivity for over-indulgence your fault/influence, or his? Or is it God's righteous vengeance on your mother for being unholy an' gay an' that?

Actually it was simply the counter-culture of Winchester in the 80s. Literally everyone was at it. There's fuck all else to do round there if you're a teenager and every summer the convoy came through en route to Stonehenge, and there were travellers' sites all around the town. It's just a hardcore little town.

I prefer my theory about The Lord smiting your mother's womb with alcoholism

Technically I think I'd consider myself drunk since about 1992, if not earlier.

And that's my counting it in a way that stops me thinking 'well, if I could just drink like I did when I was 20, instead of when I was 35, that would be OK'. You know?
This is all a little dreary and serious for B3ta though. I don't mind people knowing and talking about it up to a point, but the details of how I cope and the like are a bit much to share and will bore people to death anyway.

You seem like a good sort and I hope you have happier times now and to come

Just an explanation of what I do and don't feel OK talking about. And honestly, a large part of what I don't talk about isn't really that it bothers me, just that it would be as terminally boring as yesterdays bickering was.
And thank you.

Power. Or appearance. Or Control. Or fear of looking stupid. Or Money. Or fear of rejection. Or sexual impotence. Or being unprepared. Or poor diet. Or someone dying.
Well, that's cleared that up then.

And yes, thanks for the reminder. I don't care what snobbery it evokes in other people, I fucking love that show.

Me too, have done since it began. I've never known how Nick Hewer keeps a straight face throughout the tasks.

That and the fact that your face looks like a baboon's abortion

oh wait, was it you I saw outside the zoolological society's termination clinic?

a ballroom dancing primate would have been too much for the documentary makers at BBCThree to handle

I offered to throw a self-replicating gerbil into the mix but they were having none of it

And then I get to work and think 'fuck it, I can barely do this, actually'

It's incredibly difficult not to be mindful of just how embarrassing the fuck-up will be when there are TV cameras trained on you.
The fact that they're all carefully hand-picked dickheads doesn't help.

But everything he touched turned to sold!

The snobbery people say is shit, as if anyone watching the show atually thinks it's main goal is about buisness rather than entertainment.
