In my packet of fags this morning there was a little leaflet which reads:

"Smoking is banned in pubs and possibly cars and homes. Where does that leave you... smoking in the cold? Europe's 2nd highest tobacco tax, cigarettes hidden behind closed doors in supermarkets and stores. Isn't it time to say enough is enough? Know the issues and take action at know-more.co.uk"

Probably it leaves me strapped to an oxygen cylinder or in a box. People say Tobacco firms are 'evil'. I'm inclined to agree. This progress in public health is to be challenged apparently all so Phillip Morris' share price doesn't dive.

Regards,
Rob Philpott.

I shared a house at uni with a lad from Romford. He was forever asking "Can I bum a fag off you?".

To which my answer was always "No. No you most certainly cannot".

In the UK (or most of it, some bits have slightly different rules) smoking is banned in cars used for business purposes if more than one person could possibly use it.

Smoking would also be banned in your home if you use it for business purposes and either have an employee working there or have customers come round.

There is always talk of extending that ban, my SIL is a midwife and they can ask people not to smoke when they go round to their houses, although that rarely works. However if you're heavily pregnant and smoking during a midwife visit I guess you're none too classy anyway.

Talk most recently was of banning smoking in prisons, which should lead to more riots nicely.

Anyone who blindly follows a satnav is an idiot, regardless of what device it runs on.

There are people who have turned down railroad tracks before now, I'd say that shows considerably more stupidity than going onto a runway. At least a runway is still tarmac.

Movie Quote Of The Day

A: I've heard another rumor, that you were bitten by a king cobra? 
B: Yeah, I was. But after five days of agonizing pain, the cobra died.

I wonder who would say that kind of thing, that way.
But more importantly: Which movie?

Well, it certainly can't be any of the Debbie movies, because then it would have been the other way around! D'Oh! | :doh:
