Serious queston Parky, what made you take up smoking? I can understand kids giving into pressure and doing it to "look cool" but I couldn't understand why someone more mature would take it up. I tried smoking for a week and it was just horrible, why would you put yourself through the horrible part to do it?

Roeder and his "you can only do one transfer at a time" unfortunately that included the scouting which Kuyt took most of a window up with.

I just hope he turns out good enough to be attracting such interest.

FYP

Can see him going to someone like Fulham.

Don't really care about the proportions its still 54 lives. Why should one person die a week so people can enjoy a fag with a pint? If people going outside for a fag saves 54 people a year then its a very good thing.

Just 54 lives, not really worth it is it? For the effect it will have on a sizebale amount of the population for just 0.0009% Hardly seems proportionate does it? The having to stand outside effect? Those poor smokers!

Great player

Just think of the tit-wank she could give. Standing up while you are on the floor, yeah I can see the potential

She has no good qualities, her voice would drive me over the edge and thats before thinking about the rest of her

That the welsh bint from BB?

Did you know she was Jasper Carrots daughter? 7235[/snapback] Isn't Jasper Carrot in the office a couple of times as the cleaner? He just appears from nowhere and stares at the camera.. Could be wrong though. I realise this post is nearly 2 years old, but the cleaner in The Office is Stephen Merchant's dad. Also, a better picture of her: She is definitely not borderline.

Well YOU should go somewhere that doesn't allow smoking then! [/selfish smoker] have you ever tried to have a pint in Tescos? they go mad No just a wank but that didn't go down too well either!

No-one should be banned but you shouldn't make stupid bets like that in the first place This thread does deserve to be Gold'd though

Tax on tobacco raises £10.5bn a year, NHS expenditure on smoking related illnesses is £1.7bn, those figures come from an anti-smoking website. http://www.ash.org.uk/html/smuggling/html/whytax99.html The argument that smokers cost the NHS money is a false one. Yeah but surely there is no compensation on earth for smelly clothes. Some don't mind smelling like an ashtray, a lot do

Cheers. Still wouldn't hope that people still smoked so it saves me a bit of money. Anyway I am sure they will just lump even more cost onto drivers

See there you go again. You make summat up in your head and then pretend it's what people are saying. Whoever hired them I'd be asking for me money back. Suppose its better than just making stuff up in your head Parky

What you assume I said is clearly not what I said that much is clear. In the general population who lives longer on average smokers or non-smokers? Be careful. Not really. I would say (at a guess) smokers probably like longer, would like to know who cost the NHS more money though. Smokers who are in and out for various smoking related illnesses or those who don't smoke and live that bit longer.

Gordon Brown hiring Asians to drive into airports, what next!

Me make things up? Thats a bit rich isn't it Parklife?

People don't go to Tesco to relax and have a good time, they go there to shop, people do go to the pub to have a smoke and a drink, it's socially accepted. I know a lot of people who don't go to the pub to smoke and are very happy that soon there wont be others around them doing it. As long as you're all happy when you have to pick up the shortfall in the tax revenue. Not working from any stats or anything here but if smoking does drop enough to have an effect on tax revenue then I would guess there would also be an effect on smokers using up NHS resources? ....and here's the twist...Smokers DIE they don't hang around for years sucking up state funds in pensions, healthcare or whatever... So smokers don't cost the NHS anything, they are healthy their whole lives and one day just drop dead? Try reading. I did, healthcare thing still applies.
