    They were 5 and 6 years old at the time. I'm sure a lecture on shrinking blood vessels, formation of blood clots that can lead to heart attacks and other major cardiovascular problems would go way over their heads. A primal association should surfice for now.

    Easy Franko! Yes, I've been and worked in a farm and it stinks to fcuking high heaven. My stomach is full of beer so my stools smell absolutely foul on a daily basis so it's an achievement I actually keep my breakfast down each morning.

    When I were a lad I had a cleaning job at a small bakery. The smell of old dough when cleaned up is rank. Bread eating in public places should definitely be banned.

    I swear they will never smoke ever!

    May be able to re-claim the nicotine and re sell

    Nicotine

    When smoking was allowed on flights. During a plane service, the nicotine used to be scraped off the cabin roof with scrappers.

    Right just off for a roll up.

    started a topic Nicotine

    Nicotine

    I've just cleaned an old radio.

    Previous owner was a heavy smoker & radio was a lovely brown colour all over.

    After judicious spraying with foam cleanser, it is now black again.

    The rag, however, is an evil brown colour.

    Wonder what condition his lungs were in...

Working...
