Some people lack will power though, therefore it isn't piss easy for them to give up. Seriously. 50497[/snapback] I know. Got a friend who's a consultant who smokes like a chimney. She knows better than most the risk, and has 4 kids. But she can't stop. Silly cow.

Absolutely I gave up nearly 2 years ago after a 16 year 15-20 a day habit. It's a stupid shitty evil habit and I'm glad I'm free of the bastards. 50485[/snapback] Piss easy to give up though. Seriously. 50486[/snapback] Some people find it really hard though. Seriously. 50487[/snapback] I know. Lack of will power. Seriously. 50489[/snapback] It wasn't easy. Still did it though. :middle finger: 50491[/snapback] Congratualtions. You have some sense and will power.

That suit is fucking enormous like. Best of luck to him. Hope it works out. 50384[/snapback] Could also be a deranged Forest Gump.

I agree with that, and thought both were immense assets to our side. I bet he would have it in for Luque as well if he hadn't signed him himself. Doesn't seem like a proper Souness player to me. Btw aren't Robert and Bellamy doing quite well at their new clubs?

I think you are quite right, Steve. It's unbelievable that people who smoke and drink should expect you to treat them when they get related problems. After all it's not like they've ever contributed to the health service is it? If you are just going to go through the motions though it does seem a little a bit of a waste of your valuable time. Maybe we could compromise? You give me back every penny of the taxation from my daily packet of fags for 35 years and my booze and then I'll go and get private treatment with the money. Sounds a good deal to me? After you've repaid all us smokers & drinkers our extra taxation though don't be suprised if you don't have a job, or even a health service left. 50283[/snapback] Tired old factually incorrect argument. All of the tax gathered from smokers will never cover the medical costs of treating same for smopking related diseases. Not taking into consideration the outlay for non smokers suffering from second hand smoke and the asthma treatments for children born to smoking parents. or the millions spent on premature baby clinics for babies born to drinking mothers. I am glad the old c*nt is dying. he is a wife beating sh*t. or maybe that is a "disease" too. P.S I dont think of alcoholism as a disease or you wouldn't be able to beat it without prescription medication like millions have in the past. 50290[/snapback] I'm not a smoker, but I think FCUM is right on this one. I'm sure I read about a study in the paper a few months back which claimed there was a net gain from smoking taxation even with smoking related illness etc deducted. 50340[/snapback] If that's true it is pretty categorical evidence that the government does care more about our well -being than how much money it can make from us.

hmmm let me see. tax on a packet of 20? at least £2.... so every day I pay £2 (on top of my Income Tax, VAT, Council tax etc) towards the country...In total I've smoked for approx 11 years so thats 11 x 365 x £2 = £8030, time spent in hospital = emmmm zero. so as far as I see it Im currently £8030 in credit, based on the fact that smokers die earlier then theres a good chance Im gonna die before I go senile and spend years between hospital and care homes pissin me pants and claiming the State pension that I've contributed to so theres another £70 per week for lets say 10 years..... As for you, all healthy and glowing, you'll probably live to 100 and cost the country thousands... you selfish twat. 50331[/snapback] Seriously Peasepud, why do you do it? Does the dubious pleasure of cigarettes outweigh all the negatives - health/money/smelling bad? Are you smoking to get oune up against the sanctimonious twats, or because you are too addicted?

Well it is a fair point in this context. Kind of is the point really. Self inflicted disease, just like Best.

I overcame the cold last week without taking paracetamol. I think that can be classified as a disease.

The alcohol was a contributing factor, undoubtedly. If you are constantly on the piss you are more susceptible to infections even if you are not taking immunosuppressants.

As racist as anything I've ever posted. 50266[/snapback] So bling's a racist term then? Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 17 posts until this thread has turned to filth.

Well that sounds like a complete disaster!

Under Souness 433 = 451, and 442 = 460. FACT. Beeyitch. 50235[/snapback] I don't think a 4-3-3 with a front 3 of Luque.....Owen......Dyer will turn into a 4-5-1. 50238[/snapback] Aha, so he is a forward then!

What's Chopra got to do with it like?

What do you expect with a mere 186 posts? respect must be earned. 50188[/snapback] Racist underbelly tbh. 50194[/snapback] And earned doesn't mean spam.

Must be mad. He's a disaster waiting to happen. Deja vu.

What do you expect with a mere 186 posts? respect must be earned.

or the product of a weak mind. same goes for drug addicts. sure il get a backlash for this but its just my personal opinion. no coincidence that 90percent of the drug addicts and alchos we get in at work are absolute retards who are harder to explain things too than most 10year old kids. 50177[/snapback] You don't think it could be the drugs making them retarded? Chicken and egg really. There's been plenty of brilliant alcoholics and drug addicts though in history.

I agree.

I thought this was an ellipse:

Emre looks an excellent acquisition too, for less money than Bassedas cost! 50132[/snapback] He's the only player I am prepared to give Souness much credit for. Shearer persuaded Owen to come to Newcastle imo.

It was a tap in tbqfh 50036[/snapback] Quite. Ban this sick filth now! I remember a friend who thought "Beaver Patrol" by Pop will eat itself was a song about woodland conservationism.
