Smoking ban

[shaunbhoy]

You know you should have stubbed it out on her and shouted back "YOU HAPPY NOW YOU BLOODY NAZI!!"

No point you smokers aiming for the middle ground now!!
The time for the Softly Softly approach has been and gone.
Why not try the freakydancer approach and continually bleat on about it being a despicable infringement of your human rights to stop you casually and monotonously exhaling 50+ carcinogenic chemicals into the air around many innocent bystanders?
That might work. But then again.................maybe not!

And Brussells was complete tulipe - all the manors of France and the charm of Birmingham. And we had a leak when we got back.

Were the loo's over there really that bad? I've heard some horror stories about French public toilets but holding it for the entire holiday is a bit extreme

sal, if you get yourself run over by a car because you are trying to find somewhere to smoke legally then health & Safety will step in and ban the ban

I tell you what - I'm f*ckign dying for the press to grow a backbone and turn on the ban like - I mean, are they being bribed or something?!

Are you telling me that no editor of a national press is a smoker and against this ban?!

I want a war veteran to get fined for smoking in the pub he's smoked in for the last 60 years, then we'll see how long it lasts for.

Come on media you useless f*ckers!!

..or take your approach and be a smug, sanctimonious, self-righteous tit perhaps?

Works for me!!

Clearly. The master of ready-wit and repartee, and yet no one else laughs with you. Plenty at you for sure, but never with.

See ya.

I try not to fly in the face of public opinion fd. You really must try and curb this hero-worship of yours, I'm sure I am not worthy.
Isn't there anyone else you can look up to for moral guidance?

At the risk of being shot down in flames, I think this whole thread is completely reactionary and almost everyone will be happy with the status quo in a few weeks' time. Especially once you smokers start 'smirting'

THEN the constant announcements on the train as it pulled up to every single ******* stop about how people couldn't nip out on to the platform for a quick fag just aggrivated the **** out of me.

That would be annoying.

Last year me and the missus took a train journey through the mountains from Bergen to Oslo. Norway already a smoking ban so we couldn't smoke on the train.

It is a long trip, about 7 and a half hours, but at least they had the decency to stop after five hours so the smokers could get out and have a cigarette.

As for our ban, I will try and use it to give up. Had the stains scraped off my teeth this morning, so they are looking nice and clean.

We'll see how long I last.

I forgot to take my patches with me, and I was so p*ssed off with every ******* thing about that place, I needed to smoke until I got completely out of it!

THEN the constant announcements on the train as it pulled up to every single ******* stop about how people couldn't nip out on to the platform for a quick fag just aggrivated the **** out of me.

I couldn't even speak by the time I got to Newcastle - my other half had to nagivate me home. I'd completely lost it.

you must realise that with that type of craving you have a real problem. I'll think about it tonight while I'm having my ten pints of lager
