@thegregfleet Awesome work Fleety. Hope you're still sticking to it.
When I quit, I reckon 3 days was the turning point where it became "well, if I haven't had one for 3 days why would I ever start again?".
It's been over 20 years for me now, hope you have the same success
3 days without vaping or smoking. In 49 years since I began smoking I’ve only ever achieved this once before.
I don’t feel unbelievably wonderful but my breathing has already improved and I feel much better. I intend to make this a permanent change. How great am I? 😊
@IronMaiden Awesome! My teenage son and I will see you in both Melbourne and Sydney.
I've been a fan since I was his age, and so happy you guys are still doing your thing for him to see live.

@LiquorkartAus SCAMMERS! My experience too. Took my money, didn't deliver, said product wasn't in stock yet their website has said it is for the last 4 months. Haven't refunded, but are getting more active now I've got the ACCC involved. ACORN case coming next. Hit me up if you want in
@Angela_in_Aus@LiquorkartAus Wow, that's my exact experience. Paid for 3 bottles of whisky back in May. "The supplier failed to deliver them, should have them next week" etc.
Same bullshit, they'll refund to my bank account. Nothing for a month, so I've opened an ACCC case.
Suggest you do the same
@LiquorkartAus@liquorkartaus SCAMMERS. Display products as "In Stock" & dispatch 3-5 days. Month later, still not in stock (but website still says it is). Delay refunding, insist on bank details for refund because "having payment gateway issues" and can't refund to the card. Pretty suspicious
Children of Spokane!
Last night we were in the lap of the weather gods, but together we rawked through our second night in State Washington.
Thank you all for your support!
Have a nice day now

@IronMaiden Nicko, we're all thankful that you've come through this so well. Barracking for you to come back even better and more good looking that you were to start with. It's a big ask, but I believe :)
PS. We'd love you guys to come visit us in Australia
A message from Nicko:
Hello Boys and Girls,
I hope this message finds you all well!
The reason I'm writing to you all today is to let you know of a very serious health problem that I have been through. In January I had a stroke, thank the Lord it was a minor one referred to as a TIA. It left me paralyzed on my right side from my shoulder on down, of course I was very worried that my career was over but with the love and support from my wife, Rebecca and family, my doctors, especially Julie my OT (Occupational Therapist), and my Maiden family I was able to bounce back to somewhere near 70% recovered. After 10 weeks of intense therapy it was almost time to start rehearsals for our tour. I feel it's important to let you know about this now instead of earlier as I was mainly concerned with doing my job and concentrating on getting back to 100% fitness. I'm not there yet but by the grace of God I'm getting better and stronger as the weeks go by.
Thank you all for a most wonderful and magical tour so far, you have all been so amazing.
Well that's it from me. God bless you all, stay safe and well and I look forward to seeing you all somewhere in time. 🙂🙂
Nicko
Manager Rod Smallwood adds - “The rest of the band and l think that what Nicko has been able to achieve since his stroke shows incredible belief and willpower and we are all very proud of him. With this new and musically very complex set to learn ahead of him, he just got his head down and concentrated on recovery. We honestly did not know if he would be able to play a whole show until band rehearsals started in May and there was just so much support for him from the band and then genuine relief for all when we saw he was going to be able to do it!”
"Nicko being Nicko he did not want to make a fuss and cause any distraction to the tour at the time but, now that he is sure he will soon get there, he thought you fans should know straight from him rather than by any rumours!"
"We are all of course delighted he battled through this so well and look forward to many more tours together starting with the three Western Canada shows and Power Trip in California coming up in a couple of months time. We can’t wait! This tour is that good!”

Australia this is your PM. The most arrogant and out of touch PM ever. To worried about hanging out with his celebrity click and criminals instead of real Australians struggling with the cost of living. @AlboMP#albonotmypm
@JJKALE2 Yes, boycotted *forever* by me. He can jam my share of his stolen covid money right where the sun doesn't shine. Get it changed to silver first though 🤣
@AlboMP Putting the "national" back in national broadband network. Yeah, and thanks to the libs for white-anting what was clearly one of our most important pieces of national infrastructure. Hope you guys can keep fixing it for us
