Many thanks for that, Feather. Beware, anyone who makes this - it's proper rocket fuel! :D

That be the entire point of it :chuckle:

And I second Gilly's Hurray!

No guns, no knives, no drugs, no pubs, no smoking, no independent thought...might as well cut our arms and legs of at birth and be fucking done with it.

Then they'll still find you "fit for work" and drag you off to med school.

Don't worry booze is being glorified,especially the tropical type mixes,now ciggies this is a different subject,they have restricted outside of buildings and banned in most indoor areas,and from even down home small cafes that were smoking friendly for years.

But actually banning tobacco smoking this won't happen in my opinion any time soon.

This public ban just makes me ever more suspicious and only results in my smoking like a chimney even more. As I said re guns, banning generally only occurs where there is a shit load of money to be made, in my experience.

I particularly enjoy blowing smoke in the direction of non-smokers at places like bus stops, where they wheeze and sputter and give me the side-eye, oblivious to the car and bus fumes they're happily chugging down.

Affordable my ass (in the US anyway, where I am at :mad: )... have you tried, recently, buying any decent hard alcohol? Stuff that doesn't taste like shit, dry, leaves a bitter taste in your mouth...10-15 USD for a small bottle, 20-30 on up for anything larger. And don't even think of buying a beer, let alone anything else, in a bar...3-5 bucks for a 12 oz bottle. Before the nights out, you're out 100+ bucks just on beer alone just to get a buzz from it. If you're going for the harder stuff its about 5 bucks a shot. I don't call that affordable.
Can go down the street and sleep with a dealer (and a lot of the time, they'll settle for a handjob or blowjob with a condom) and wind up with enough drugs to knock a rhino on its ass and not have to spend the money.
Okay, rant moment over... *slinks off to corner for timeout* :sulk:

Actually I find smokers much more sociable,but I avoid them, so it's a vicious circle.

I'll tell you what makes me angry.

You go for a night out - and these days, that's very rare for me, because I usually can't be arsed. You make an effort to look presentable. You then fancy a smoke, so being respectful to the law and other people's comfort you go outside, and because it's invariably windy and / or raining, soon resemble this...

Beetlejuice


...and still, any non-smoking complete stranger who passes by thinks it's appropriate to make snitty comments to you about smoking on the way past. And they are smug.

They say things like, "Bloody smokers..." (whilst smiling in a friendly way, and clearly anticipating you'll agree with them) "...It's a mug's game. It'll stunt your growth." etc etc.

I generally smile back in an equally friendly manner, and advise them, "Do fuck off, before I stub my cigarette out in your eye".

My husband often tells me not to make him have to fight anybody when we're going out.
