Amazing amazing.....definitely here for any Tintin crossovers. Know what you mean about the no booze. Generally good, occasional pang (is this a shipping forecast Captain?!). Walked past my barbers the other evening, he'd just closed up, standing outside the shop in the golden setting sun having a ciggie. BIG smokey smokey shiny lager pang. Generally don't miss it, just takes certain things to align (including hormones!) and wallop. It was that END OF THE DAY thing i think.
I totally get this - any kind of sunshine/outdoor/pub table drink n smoke gives the pang doesn't it! I can't imagine a day when that won't be true - but I feel like occasionally having the yearning is yearning for a time gone by, probably much more than the substances themselves! But your barber does sound like he knows how to live!
What a brilliant exercise, love it. And I must say Haddock is ageing extremely well, and seems to have mellowed too - I don't remember him being known as a particularly good listener in the books :)
These are so great! I love (and relate to) the “but meeeee” statement! Also, so relieved Captain Haddock didn’t call for Nestor and just push you off the wagon. Blistering Barnacles!
“Drink,” hits very close to home - I’m currently 3.5 years sober and the pilot light being out couldn’t be more familiar. Its definitely better overall but still 😬
I love these! The one about alcohol resonated with me... I've been sober for just over 3 months now and I keep wondering if it's made life more boring for me. I almost over compensating when out (the other day I sang karaoke completely sober in a bar, for a friend's birthday, which I never would have done in the past without a lot of alcohol inside me first...)

I agree that golden hour is *peak* cigarette/booze nostalgia time. But it occurs rarely (in the UK at least) and only lasts for about 10 minutes
😂 Ain't that the truth!
TOTALLY. I take a long hard drag on that memory. THEN appreciate my delightful breath and pert, moist lungs. WHEW.

😂 me either - his EQ has really gone up a notch!
Absolutely love this Tor!! And I agree with Eve, you guys make a hot couple! Also agree with Hattie, you light up MY pilot light!! X
Thanks Els, and thank you - ditto! x

😂 thanks Nanette - in the next instalment he can call me a bootlegger and summon Nestor!!
Yes, both these conversations ring very true! And you've made hipster Haddock quite hot!
Thanks Nicola! Well I think he was BORN hot, but also fairly uninterested in sex??
I agree, he is hot. You guys make a cute couple.
YOU KNOW IT X
This is absolutely amazing hahaha. I just love your humour!
Thanks Emma! x
Love these. If it's any help, when my pilot light goes out, I often relight it from yours.
Thank you dude, and ditto x
Blistering barnacles!
I especially loved this one, will put it in thinking time box.
Thanks dear Jane xx
I love it! Thanks for the recommendation as well. I need to try this sometime. Not sure whom to talk to yet.
Ha ha! I love this whole concept, I need to speak to some Asterix characters now I feel!
OMG Steve do it please!!
Oh I LOVE this TOR! I chat to Dr Melfi (Sorpranos) often. Make of that what you will...
I'd say that's a good choice! Interesting though - do you have any idea why her?
So gorgeous! Love this!
Yes TO Hannah in 4 weddings, I read that poem when I put Jeff’s ashes down the river,, not a dry eye Jlr
