    Yep I did and finding it surprisingly easy. Lost a bit of weight, not getting the @rse any more than usual, the wallet seems happier so all in a good thing.

    I have noticed that the 1st Feb is a Saturday though so an afternoon in the pub might be in order!

    Used to do it often before people started talking about it. Just a way to kick start trying to lose weight again.

    Not done it last couple of years because gou a mate whose birthday is 10th of Jan so been out with him.

    My month off the booze used to end with the Superbowl on the first Sunday in Feb and see me pretty wrecked drinking from about 8 until 3!

    I am having similar thoughts after nearly 3 weeks without drinking - save it for going out come Feb.

    I've been in there a few times and it's really nice. Just don't cheer when we score - that wall behind the fans in front of the boxes isn't that big!

    I've been in several times and reminded certain Wednesday fans that it is only a game. Majority of them are fine it's just the loud mouthed bags of wind that amuse me.

    Cheer ? I'll be standing on my chair before leading a ******* conga if, er when we score.

    I'm doing it and i know gazredtyke is too.

    I did it last year and raised £213.00. So far got £81. Every little i can do to help rid us of the evil disease. If it means a month off the booze then so be it
