Todays smoking ban!
« Reply #120 on: July 29, 2009, 09:50:14 AM »
We did have 9 or so pages of no smoking topic sooner or later the interest wanes and the conversation moves on as it does in life.
We do have a lot of members on here including myself who like to have a laugh and joke and it's generally when the topic gets repetitive and boring, we could lock it immediately but then where would the fun be, life isnt all about being serious all of the time, don't agree with the personal attacks no need for it, and I being referred to as a Sun reporter as a personnal attack.

for the people who are moaning, what more did you want to add to the No smoking topic that was so interesting?

Please post it now we are waiting.

I logged onto this topic to glean information relating to the smoking ban, as I was interested to see what was happening in the Calis area as I live in Ovacik.

I have seriously lost the will to live in trying to wade through the postings and have gleaned very little info that I was looking for.

I am not against having a laugh and it's all to do with personal taste at the end of the day. However, I maintain that you should not go off topic and it's the mods job to ensure that posts are kept to teh subject matter.

I wanted to read about smoking and not 'bodily functions' - if there were 2 topics I would choose to look at one and not the other! I am clearly not the only person who feels like this!

Spot on Baz, there's nothing wrong with having a laugh, what more can be said about the smoking ban, I think if anyone should be offended it would be Nigel & Ian who initiated the topic, but I cant see them moaning, as they too are up for a laugh, there's no harm been done here.get a jiggy with it, life's too short.

Off topic? To what do you refer? The introduction of a satirical strand that counterposed one smelly personal habit with another? That is not off topic. It is an alternative perspective on the issue of individual  freedom versus collective will. Not merely humorous but also an ingenious rhetorical device.

If anyone needs help getting down from their high horse I have a stepladder that they can borrow.

Well said, there you go, you have found the common denominator regarding ciggies and lumpy farts, they both smell.

The non smokers should be grateful to the smokers. When the mozzies bite the smokers the mozzies apparently all go off and suffer a long lingering death.:D
