Wednesdays P&L: GBP 1,630.26
Wednesdays Booze: So far, 2 pints of Kronenbourg 1664 and 2 shots of Smirnoff Vodka.
It is 8.55 am here in sunny London and I am already up over sixteen hundred quid thanks to the gold price. Perhaps I should call it a day now. After all that is a decent wage. Tax free of course as I have reduced my cash futures trading business due to high margin calls and am concentrating on spread betting right now. If I did call it a day, what would I do? There is only so much porn you can look at. There is always the siren call of the pub but they don't open for hours yet and even I have enough dignity not to be standing outside the door when the staff arrive. No the name of the game is risk and if you want to play, you have to embrace it - I may regret this.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting me. I’ll say it takes courage to be standing at the door when they open. Or at least, that’s what I tell myself. Risk and regret get tangled up a lot. They shouldn’t. They don’t belong together. Good luck. Have a shot for me.
So what did you decide on in the end? This is why I make a habit of befriending the bar staff, that way, if you happen to be "walking by" when they arrive to open it's less awkward

Hi Toni,
I came to your blog via Juliette. It's interesting and you seem to have had an interesting and varied life - perhaps drinking helps you deal with the monotony of everyday existence? My ex also drank a lot -he was holding down a high powered job too. It was a shame, I thought, as he was a talented man. Anyway nice to read your blog!
Thanks for all the comments.
lesinfin, your right risk and regret are not essentially linked, quite the opposite in fact, I have only regretted the risks I didn't tak never those that I did.
Scarlet I ended up buying a case of vodka and just taking it easy indoors - this weather is far too cold for me to be going out and about.
Anonymous, I don't know if my life has been particularly interesting. I have done a lot of strange things but I rarely had a choice, in fact for someone who feels as proactive as I do I really am a "go with the flow" kind of fellow. Your ex probably had lots of reasons to drink, my doctor says all drunks have a reason to drink and they are all bogus but he is a sanctimonious prick.
