What, both of you???

Nice one, you would be surprised what we can get up to in Wales during these dark cold nights when the sheep are locked up, and it wasn't that painful really, just had to relax. Took a while for the figure to return though.

Mark.

P.S yes Stephen it was quite hard(giving up smoking that is before someone twists it) but its a mental thing, you either want to stop or not.

P.P.S this was the result.

P.S the two most common causes of war are politics and religon, so dont start scrapping, everyone has an opinion and an opinion is like an -----ole, everyone has one its just not nice to air it in public.

Well said.

I'm one of those really anoying reformed smokers too.

Ah reformed smokers, now it all makes sense, whilst they smoke everyone has to put up with it, when they stop everyone stops !

Strange really, genuine non smokers seem far more forgiving than converts.

Best Wishes

interesting fact..

Aeroplanes that are non smoking, are less healthy than planes where smoking is allowed..

why?

because the air is filtered and circulated more in a smokers plane, whereas it goes a bit stagnent in a non smokers plane (so you catch more deseases like colds etc)

You know Rhys, that is so true, and I'm not saying this as a smoker who feels he's losing all his rights.

I travel a lot, and a fair few trans-Atlantic trips every year, ever since smoking was stopped on the main airlines ( there are still some left you can smoke on, but the planes tend not to have mots ), about 10 years ago, I'm always ill when I return, normally a cold or something similar.

Gawd I'm bound to be locked up if you start suggesting things like that, and I'm good enough at it on my own.

So you stand more chance of catching a cold but less chance of dying of cancer!biggrin1

The problem I have with smoking is that ever since I gave up, the smell of cigarettes makes me feel sick. Also if a few more places had been smoke free or even provided smoke free areas it would have made giving up a whole lot easier.

There are a load of 'yellow fingered doley dropouts' that frequent a local pub I know that go to one of these pubs when they get kicked out at last orders...

Don't think they will be very happy about that (as if I'm bothered.. )

On a similar note to things getting banned in pubs, Samual Smith (John Smiths brother..) has removed all jukeboxes, tv's and games machines from it's pubs. Will be interesting to see if they go the same way as Weatherspoons.

.may be wrong about the games machines, they will be next I feel. As for cheap booze, bitter is about 1.28, and lager is about 1.46 a pint.

Unfortunatly the last time I tried the bitter it was awfull as the landlord can't keep it properly (and is not bothered either tbh). Lager isn't too bad, but could be better. Sam Smiths is an aquired taste anyway.

WRT games machines - don't like them but as we don't really have them over here it doesn't apply. The only machine I really object to is the ATM machines (drink link machines!). They are becomming increasingly popular to have inside an Irish pub and not a good idea for obvious reasons!

WRT prices - one reason the drink link machines are becomming increasingly popular here is because of the price of a pint. We have 3 'beer' rates - pint of stout, lager & cider. The price of a pint of stout in Dublin has even reached about 5 with prices averaging somewhere between 3.50 and 4.50 for stout and 4 and 5 for lager. Cider is usually the most expensive pint! Assuming an exchange rate of 1 being equal to 0.70 then you are talking about 3.50 a pint

and in a feeble attempt to get back on topic....

IAM PRESIDENT RESIGNS OVER SPEEDING

Tuesday 25th January

Duke of Gloucester loses licence and his post

A month after he was banned for speeding under the points totting-up procedure, the Duke of Gloucester has resigned as president of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM). PH reported the incident a few weeks ago (link below).

His fourth speeding offence in three years -- this time 70mph in a 60mph limit -- meant he had 12 points and an automatic ban under the totting up rule. The ban lasts six months and, as a result, he automatically lost his membership.

John Maxwell, the IAM chairman, said: "The Duke's decision to resign the IAM presidency has been received with great regret by all IAM Council members, given his effective and enthusiastic presidency over 32 years.

i'm saying nowt!
