Like Bonzo, my boarding school was a state one
and most of the boarders were forces kids, like me. Oddly, most of the day pupils were from rich families, so it was the boarders who wereconsidered povvos.

I'm really glad I went, though. From the age of 11 I was able to do my own laundry, travel the Tube with heavy suitcases in hand, and basically be quite independent. Oh, and I also learned how to swear like a sailor.

And by the time I left for uni, I still had all my virginities intact, thank you very much.

no no no
the whole point is not to give any idea about it, so that people panic and sweat and ignore the one thing you really want...

Well that's just fucking stupid.

if you tell someone what you really want and it doesn't even cost a penny, in fact it saves them money, surely not seizing on that like a fat kid on a cupcake
is the fucking stupid thing

Have I mentioned I'm a certified Support to Stop Smoking counsellor?

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 11 Dec 2013, 10:08, Reply)

no!
any literature you feel like sharing...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 11 Dec 2013, 10:09, Reply)

You can get 12 weeks of counselling support
and all the NRT bits and pieces you need, at the cost of a prescription. If you don't pay for prescriptions, it's all free.

Check out your local NHS website. Bear in mind that from next month, every man jack and his dog will be trying to give up, so getting an appointment may be a bit harder.

To be fair, I think I'd probably still be a mental case if I'd stayed at home.
I'm just wired that way.
