You'll be banning Guiness in bars next, I suppose.
The thing to remember is that health campaigners will NEVER STOP - As soon as they've notched up one "success", they're on to the next thing. It has to be that way, otherwise they'd realize how pointless their wretched little lives have suddenly become.Last edited by OwlHoot; 16 February 2006, 21:32.

Originally posted by MordacCome on Shaun, you were in the British Army, the finest unit of fighting men in the world. The best trained, the toughest, the hardest, the meanest. The most disciplined (usually). Able to fight in all environments, Arctic, desert, jungle. Trained to survive off the land, kill with your bare hands, blend in to your surroundings, to use stealth and cunning and ingenuity to defeat any enemy. Trained to evade capture, and if captured, to resist torture.
And you're put off by a bit of tobacco smoke?
As for smoking in pubs, I've never smoked and don't give a tulip if other people do. In fact, you go into a pub(a real one anyway) knowing that it's going to be a smokey environment - if you don't like it, don't go in.
The difference is, you make the choice, not the government.
I feel better now!

>I could drink tragic little tools like you under the table without even needing to go for a wazz
So you were the sad old fecker sitting in the corner smelling of stale piss. Next time, just go to the bog like everyone else.

Thanks for the feedback.
I didn't start posting on this forum just to playing fecking mind games with sad-sack, witless losers like you - so please just give it a rest.
Your posts show no evidence of any real level of intelligence, knowledge (outside of your specialist field). Nor any humour, or humanity, or humility (the three Hs - far more important than the three Rs).
You are just another blowhard. Full of opinions and 'instant knowledge'.
Clearly, I don't want to talk to you, and you don't want to talk to me - so can't we just leave it at that?
There are a few characters here who I think have something to say, are witty (even if I dissagree with their POV or politics) - and I'd rather talk to them.

Originally posted by DaveBActually Ireland has had a smoking ban since March 2004 and the overall result has been positive. The world didnt end, pubs didnt go out of business and the government wasn't overthrown in a popular uprising. Which was nice.
Neh mind...next year you goons will soon be able to enjoy smoke free pubs...heck...you could even tell your missus (or mista) that you werent at the pub and she would never know!

Originally posted by shaunbhoyI hardly think the word "duel" appropriate for what would occur between us. That would presuppose some form of contest, and unless I am subjected to a severe stroke in the short term, it would simply be a case of me tearing your flimsy arguments to shreds, something I can hardly be bothered to do.
What are you then, both Doctors of Philosophy or something?
Gonna bamboozle me with your wikked logic (and/or) blindin' wit are you?
Bring it on you (insecure and peevish) big boys?
Ok. I'll give you a point for "presuppose" (which pre-supposes you know the meaning of the word, which you probably don't).
Yours truly,
