Quite.

I've never quite understood politicians being so down on 'illegal' drugs
given so many of them seem to drink too much - and alcohol is just as
dangerous a drug as most.

If we were starting with a clean sheet, alcohol would be an illegal drug.


If you were starting with a clean sheet, we'd all be dead from drinking
poisoned water. You do know why we drank a lot of beer?

The sort of small beer made to sterilise water would probably still be ok.
But I doubt the average alcohol user today would be happy with it.

saw the demise of the local as a side-benefit, at least.

But we know the reason for that. Well some suspect, but where's the proof.

Here in Mile end there were always reports of studetns causing trouble due to drink and luewd behavour. But we now mave a larger majority of Muslim students who don;t drink (generally speaking) it's been years since such problems have arrisen.
So I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all it;s a change, and the fact that pubs are quite expensive to drinkm in when you can buy cheap stuff in supermarkets.

Two or three other pubs near me have benn converted into flats.
Quite a few live music venues have been closing too.
Our staff social club was sold off years ago it's now some sort of islamic centre I pass it every week-day. Another pubs hasd turned into a betting shop.
Another pub near me the quite famous (for teh area) bakers arms pub is now a paddy power.

Most people **** against a wall, or a fence. Most station platforms
have a wall or a fence on the non track side to stop people
without tickets travelling for free. A person would need to be
pretty stupid IMO to try and walk between a person taking
a **** against a wall, and the wall he was ****ing against.

There is absolutely no doubt vaping has helped millions to give up

The only thing in doubt is how harmful vaping might be and so far all

If you smoke and want to give up then anything is worth a try.

Presumably if there's no tar or any other harmful by-products
then they must be an improvement.

The range of flavours seems a bit confusing though.
"A wide variety of flavours are available, including cherry,
vanilla, strawberry, chocolate & blueberry etc"
I've seen a kiosk in a shopping centre with bottles
containing maybe hundreds of flavours.

I gave up 30 years ago and never miss Virginia, from
smelling it in other people's smoke. But I used to smoke
a lot of Turkish, Abdullahs, Balkan Sobranies,
and cheapies made by a small London firm called Morris.
Nothing to do with William Morris. Now all forgotten.
Except the Sobranie brand name on upmarket Virginia.
If they ever came out with a really authentic Turkish -
flavour - then I'd certainly be tempted to take it up
again.

That depends on how you would feel if I came and urinated on you. After
all, banning urination on say an open station platform is stupid.


Slight difference...

Only in your mind.



Duuude....

restoring a valued national institution and doing significant good for
public health.

Strange, isn't it? Rabid non smokers used to give the smoke in pubs as a
reason to avoid them. But since smoking was banned, they've closed at an
even greater rate.


Its the pubs that cater for families that are still going.
The ones that were for serious drinkers are closing because drink is
cheaper elsewhere. Its not got much to do with smoking bans at all.

That's because a subset of that group are the sort of humourless
*******s who wouldn't know a good time if it had a rave in their house.

I am not criticising the right of people to be in a smoke free
atmosphere - but banning smoking on say an open station platform is stupid.

Only a stupid smoker would think that its OK to smoke just because its
in the open.
I can assure you that when I start coughing if I have to breath in that
cr@p its not because I am trying to make a point its because the selfish
*******s have tried to poison me and my lung and throat are reacting to
get rid of the ****.

All smokers are disgusting ...


Have you ever posted anything constructive or interesting here, or in
your
silly back biting uk.radio.amateur group?
All you have ever done here is ask silly questions and make dumb
comments.
I do seem to remember that in your "poverty laptop" thread you
described this group as good for trolling - or words to that effect.
You seem to be a bit of a dickhead.


yes...but what can you do ...

I'm not a prolific poster here, but I have:
Asked valid questions.
Rightly or wrongly offered solutions.
Posted OT perhaps, but that was for a spot of fun.
All that you have ever done is to ask silly trolling questions.

End of -


you are no fun at all...cheer up and have a harry rag ...

Prick.





sorry Harry Wragg .........should have remembered that from the amusements
in the 60's .......

Because those ******s who insist on coughing their crappy bugs all all
the train I'm on really **** me off!

You go to a pub purely to drink booze and watch telly? Figures.
