End of the month, is the theory.
If we're going to go on the weekend, we might seriously need to avoid Friday or Saturday night due to it being chronically busy - perhaps an early Sat eve job? 6ish?

If the downstairs extension is now open that will alleviate the pressure for tables, mind you. Maybe it's fine now.

*Stands on desk*
Erm...I do.

I have been a smoker since I was 15, used to be a 30 a day type of person but since the kids I have been down to 4 a day (10 on weekend days.) I love the taste but hate the smell; I know it is a very dangerous habit but I am hooked.

As for toking - I started that around the same time; have given up for years on end but come to the conclusion that I find it really helpful to switch off my overactive mind. My wife thinks I am a better person when I do smoke weed. Mid week I smoke a joint of very mild hash a couple of evenings and at the weekends I indulge in mega-blast skunk.

I love everything about it.
I love the taste, the smell, its cultural and political significance, I like the wonderful relaxation and stimulation it can create. I love the marvellous variety of effects and styles out there - some more than others, but few styles not at all.

I love food and wine too - and I see weed and hash as simply two more wonderful products of nature to enjoy....

I can honestly say I am every bit as enthusiastic about a nice bit of smoke as I was when I started 23 years ago.
