    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.

    Just think. When pubs are smoke free everyone will be surprised to discover that half the regulars stink of stale piss and body odour.

    You'll be banning Guiness in bars next, I suppose.
    Give it time - In twenty years or less, if ID cards come in, they'll be able to do all kinds of "smart" rationing of anything deemed unhealthy, maybe prohibiting individuals from purchasing more than 2 units of alcohol a week say, and I wouldn't rely on teetotallers to buy it on your behalf, as they won't want their health insurance premiums suddenly upped when the big brother computer notices the alcohol purchases on their card!

    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.

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?
    That'll be the "Royal Marines Commando" you're thinking of there.

    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!

    Still a numpty but sadly one that has left his corner. NC, as a former squaddie I could drink tragic little tools like you under the table without even needing to go for a wazz. Stick to debating things you have some understanding of, there's a good fellow. If any topics relating to topiary or crocheting crop up I'll be sure to send you a private message flagging them up. Then you can show us what you're made of.

    Look here, Threaded:

    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.

    Its the stench I cant stand! All that stale smoke clinging to your "clothes"...and thats only after 5 minutes of being in a pub!

    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!

    Having a bad day are we? Google not working is it? Ooops! there goes your knowledge base!

    You wonker!

    Oh what, you Sean, and Threaded?

    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).
