I usually sarge solo and hardly ever drink while doing it. It was too easy to be the guy at the bar with a beer, draining pint after pint and not opening anyone. Found it quickly sapped the confidence.

Smoking is a different matter. I never smoke except when sarging, when I'll buy a 10-pack that will last me a weekend. Fortunately i've never wound up addicted to it. I'd like to get to a point where I don't need them, but for now I rely a bit too heavily on the 'have you guys got a lighter' opener.

And yep well done Max for going solo, quality first effort... keep up the good work.
