Just to contribute my penn’orth.

I’m in the process of quitting at present.

A few years back I gave up, cold turkey, at the horrendous expense and shifted my ‘reward system’ to prolonged exercise and spicy (very spicy) food.
The adrenalin and capsaicin adequately (for me) replaced the nicotine until a moment of weakness six months later when offered a smoke.

Since then I’ve tried patches, gum, inhalator and lozenges.
None of the nicotine replacement therapies worked for me but then a pill became available.

The drug is varenicline, branded in the UK as Champix and I think it’s magic.
It works by quelling the craving and also preventing nicotine from satisfying your craving.
All that was left for me to deal with was the routine habit of reaching for a cigarette after meals, when drinking or just bored.

I’m about ten weeks into a twelve week course and haven’t smoked for nine consecutive weeks.
I ran for a bus last week and, instead of feeling my legs fold under me half way there, I caught the bus, still had my breath and felt great.

For me this is the way forward and I recommend it to any who are considering quitting.

I’m not deluding myself though.
I know that when the course of pills is over I’ll be just as vulnerable to a relapse as I was before but the ‘buzz’ of having more energy and better ‘personal hygiene’ is something I wouldn’t willingly sacrifice.

Sussed it.

Thanks.

Please sir, can I have some more?

Put it in as a dice face

Que????

The die has only six faces.

There are nine keys.

I’m having trouble getting the second key.

I have the colour code blue, magenta, cyan, green, red, yellow correlating to 152346.

I’ve tried entering this viewing the pad as both a telephone number pad and a calculator pad, pressing the broad key after each digit.

Neither works for me.

Help.

I can’t locate where the loose floorboard is.
I haven’t found a gold bar.
I’ve only got one key for the strongbox.
And I’ve no idea how to open the right hand panel.

I do have four batteries, a bushel of stuff that’s already served its purpose and a foreboding sense that I’ve still got a long way to go.
