I don’t bother with drink at all. But yes I occasionally dabble with hard drugs
This is no place for a bit of balance
Are all GP’s as reputable as each other or some more than others?

“Bluff off” could be turned into “bloff”.
Sensible decision on your part to not engage with all this spoffing and bloffing.
Ya it’s hard. But do-able.
Have you read the “Brain always wins” by John Sullivan?
Lots of good practical digestible info in it
Lads go way and play with yourself or some one in real life.
If you get something from Jordan, great. If you don’t, great.
