Smokers

[mallyh]

well I've just been described as disrespectful.disgusting ,selfish creature .I don't blow smoke on other people ,I don't smoke near children
I don't smoke near eaters ,I carry a small ashtray with a lid so don't drop dogends .I DO get a lungful of exhaust fumes when i'm walking ,which I do as I don't drive ..quite honestly with all the @@@@ I have to put up with in my life i'd explode if I didn't smoke x

Thank you Mally, I should not have been so forthright in my opinion and indeed, live and let live ,so I've climbed down off that high horse now :0)

:-) .it just makes me cross when we are all labeled .like beach goers and picnickers etc there are good and bad x

"tell you what I'll stop having a go when any smoking area, has no butts etc all around. Why are smokers incapable of using a bin? It's one of the great mysteries of our time!"

Banter.

So TTT can we moan at all car drivers because of the amount of litter in hedgerows and say.. we'll stop tarnishing all car drivers with the same brush when there is not one bit of litter in the hedgerow?

Pfft.

10cs: "Smokers don't bother me, as the "harmful passive smoking" syndrome is just a myth. That's right. A myth. ", as usual missing the point, no one gives a rats April whether it's a myth or not, it still wreaks to high heaven and impregnates your clothes and hair etc and is generally unpleasant, that's the point about passive smoking not whether it's harmful or not.

Tell that to Roy Castle's widow!

[bednobs]

I would only use one of those words mally, but would also add one of my own (and i'd apply it to all smokers)

Not the Roy Castle thing again! He conned everyone with that passive smoking garbage. He said it, so it must be true, right? What about all the other clubland people? Was he the only person in those places? Yes, I'll tell it to his widow. Big time. No problem.

I did, TTT, but you're just too fussy. Most things will grind your gears.

[10ClarionSt]

Allegedly! :o)

[ToraToraTora]

but I'm supporting you! passive smoking is not the reason.

[10ClarionSt]

I know, TTT. I know. :o)
