Sat lounging on the sofa with my laptop last night absently playing Spider Solitaire while chatting on MSN & in the chatroom I realised I'd been playing for about 3 hours and then realised I do this ever such a lot. I mentioned it to Mr S4B and he says I'm addicted to it as I keep saying "just one more game...." whenever he asks me to watch TV or make a cuppa. I know it's a sad thing to be addicted to and I think I may need professional help.

I then thought about all the other things I'm addicted to and realised I must have an addictive personality. My worst addiction is smoking but I'm also addicted to work, rugby and now this website which is even more alarming!

Help me give up these things or make me feel better by telling me what you're addicted to.

I didn't know you are a Rugby Girl!
We're off to the Kingsholm open day on Monday to meet the Gloucester Team again.
My Girlfriend knows Phil Vickery quite well and she was gutted when he left Gloucester

I'm addicted to sugar. Which is why I am not currently eating anything with sugar added. Not until Christmas, anyway!

I think I may also be addicted to Mr Yudster. No rationing needed there though.

I second that (I'm not addicted to Mr Yudwuk, I think I am addicted to Mrs Topher).

I don't have an addictive personality in general, I don't think.. I've never really been addicted to anything; nothing bad anyway. I guess I'm lucky because I know how hard addictions can be to break, I've been around enough people who've had them. A friend of mine who is a quite accomplished table tennis player and coach counts his biggest achievement as giving up gambling.

Physically speaking, probably just sugar. I broke my physical addiction to caffeine (got thru the blinding headaches etc) but I still feel a psychological need to go to starbucks and hold a cup of coffee in my hand as I wait for my tram. I'm on decaf now but I feel like a wuss asking for it. I can't think of anything else I would say I'm addicted to in any sense. Maybe the internet, but i dunno if I'm quite that bad.

Internet addiction, probably - I dunno though, I can go without it, but I was cut off the other night for about two hours and you suddenly realise how much you use it.

"What was the name of that guy in that film"
"hang on, i'll check... oh, wait!"

I was talking to mum about where abouts a country was, neither of us knew and I didn't really care that much so I didn't think much more about it. She came back about ten minutes later, ably equipped with her encyclopedia and an atlas which is that large, im not conviced that its been scaled down at all, and the standard "mum issue" reading glasses. She pointed out where abouts this country was with the sort of enthusiasm of a person who has eventually triumphed over the index.

It did make me realise how much we take for granted things like google where you punch in a couple of words and you can pretty much find out the answer within seconds.

(PS, since then, i have forgotten the name of the country and its exact location but I bet my mum remembers!)

Thin Coke is horrible. Fat Coke is the only way to go, if you do go down the Coke route.

Fat Coke is quite nice (especially with a double vodka in, but I digress), thin Coke is bleurgh, it leaves a horrible after-taste.

I remember your Dr Pepper addiction Kendra! I think I used to have one of them, I was on about 5 bottles a day when I worked in Martin's.

i've actually cut back quite a bit since chemo made dr pepper taste terrible. but hopefully as my taste buds return, so will the dr pepper. it's good stuff! i don't know why people dislike it so much.
