And just to prove my point in the smoking ban thread
Good jibe! You can tell all your mates down at the pub about it tonight.. oh hang on... no you cant... they will all be at home whining and bitching.... give them a phone call instead... maybe a conference call?

"Hey Bazza? .. I got this non smoker b'stard real good today!! I mocked his post and english language errors... it was HILARIOUS!.. I bet he feels pretty silly right now, prob drowning his sorrows down at the pub with a pint, while we get to chat on the phone.. man he is a such a loser.. *chortle* ... *sigh*"
If you get down from you high horse for a minute you might have seen that I don't smoke. However, I shall never be a sanctimonious smug bastard who takes pleasure in depriving others of their pleasures or freedoms. One day we might be unlucky and end up having to live in the hellish totalitarian state you and your sort so dream of.
I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?

Oh grow up will you. Most Western countries are implementing or in the process of implementing a ban on smoking in public places based on the wishes of the non-smoking majority. Smokers are perfectly able to smoke at home, if they so wish.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
Why's the smoking ban always bracketed in with 'nanny state' lefty politics etc plenty of countries have implemented it now, quite a few of them very much on the right of the political spectrum.
Face it, the smoking in public places ship sailed a while ago. Bitching and moaning about might make you feel better but in a couple of years time if you do a survey I'd bet my mortgage that the number of people who agree with it will have increased, the number of smokers will have gone down and eventually the percentage of your tax money getting spent on smoking related disease will be less (I doubt they'll cut tax somehow).
