  1. There was some case involving a social worker last year refusing to go to a smokers house iirc. Get a proper fucking job - hippie twat!
  2. That bit was probably more important in what Mozza was trying to get across. My main grind with the media and its nothing to do with coverage of some nutters trying to ram buildings with gas cannisters or whatever...Is the way they manage month after month to avoid talking about the real issues that face us as a country. And having studied it in the past how this agenda is unfolded purposefully to keep us distracted and worried. Which is what? little green men? Sorry thought you were actually interested in proper ans...
  3. Germans take the sensible approach.. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2367860,00.html "Smokers in Germany will be limited in exercising their addiction beginning in September. The government has agreed to outlaw smoking in selected public areas, but stopped short of efforts to introduce a nationwide ban. The German cabinet on Wednesday approved a smoking ban in railway stations, public transport and federal buildings in a first step away from the country's image as a smokers' paradise. The government also agreed to raise the legal age for buying tobacco from 16 to 18." The only one that affected me was smoking on trains which has now been stopped. Never really fancied a fag on train rides anyway.
  4. Pub landlord Tony vows to fight on. http://www.herefordtimes.com/mostpopular.v...smoking_ban.php "Herefordshire landlord Tony Blows believes the smoking ban is not just unfair, but illegal. Mr Blows, who owns the Dog Inn at Ewyas Harold, claims the ban poses a very real threat to the livelihoods of thousands of people and has promised to disobey the new law when it comes into effect on July 1. He said: "You can look at any of the countries in which a smoking ban is active and find jobs have been lost. "Ireland has lost around 1,000 pubs in the last three years and in Scotland, over 200 pubs and bingo halls have been shut. In England, it has been predicted that 3,500 pubs will be forced to close down and this really is not good enough. "This is an unjust law and we are going to defy the ban, as will another 1,000 pubs around the country. I will do whatever it takes to keep my pub open."
  5. Just been in the park for a bbq and we were discussing this ventilation lark. He was saying it is very expensive. He goes to a bar in Berlin where they have it and the smoke just whooshes up and out the place.
  6. I believe that was one of the plots wasnt it? Ministry of Sound? Oh and what was with the "kisses from LA bit?" That bit was probably more important in what Mozza was trying to get across. My main grind with the media and its nothing to do with coverage of some nutters trying to ram buildings with gas cannisters or whatever...Is the way they manage month after month to avoid talking about the real issues that face us as a country.

  7. It's rude to smoke near people who are eating end of. Even as a smoker if soemone does that while I'm eating with people I give them a piece of my mind (as long as they're not too big and scary).
  8. Some good starting points are Orbital (just about any album really but Snivilisation or In Sides might be a good starting point also the 'Green' album - untitled but with a green cover aka 'Orbital I' which has the tunes 'Belfast' and 'Chime' which are two of the best electronic tunes of all-time imo); Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works '85-'92; Mixmaster Morris aka Irresistible Force - It's Tomorrow Already which is nice and chilled; Derrick May's Innovator compilation is quality an an introduction to 'proper' Detroit Techno; for crossover appeal I'd recommend the aforementioned Air, especially Moon Safari along with Nightmares On Wax (especially 'Car Boot Soul' and 'Smokers Delight') plus Portishead and Massive Attack ('Blue Lines' in particular); the Artificial Intelligence compilations are a good intro to the WARP techno label. There's loads of other stuff I could recommend too if you like any of that lot. Has anybody checked out the new Paul (or was it Phil?) Hartnoll album btw? He's one half of the now defunct Orbital? I've just bought it and I'm just getting into it. Quite 'soundtrack' like. Edit: Underworld as well - Dubnobasswithmyheadman and Second Toughest In The Infants Good post...you've mentioned two of the very, very best in In Sides and Dubnobasswithmyheadman. These two albums would probably be in my top 5, electronic or otherwise, of all time. 10 more essential electronic purchases IMO would be: 1. 'Tri Repetae' | Autechre 2. '76:14' | Global Communication 3. 'Substrata' | Biosphere 4. 'Music Has The Right To Children' or 'Geogaddi' | Boards Of Canada 5. 'Ascend' | Manual 6. 'Haunt Me, Haunt Me, Do It Again' | Tim Hecker 7. 'Kesto (234.48:4)' | Pan Sonic 8. 'Afro Finger & Gel' | Mu 9. 'Lifeforms' | The Future Sound Of London 10. 'Momentum' | Monolake One of the greatest albums of its kind ever made imo.
  9. The likes of me and Alex take K for granted tbh. They are so seminal we feel even mentioning them is some kind of disrespect.
  10. did you see the fuckin monsoon last night Awwwwwwwwww... Get used to it the winters not far away.. I know, I will have to dig out my old ski gear Just smoke in the bogs. back to school days then !!! Aye but you'll still fucking stink... and............... ....ignore them love. Just carry this little story in your head.. The rats they overexposed to tobacco smoke for addictive patterning/nervous behaviour etc, they later used by mistake in a test to determine toxicity and dosage with regard to micrograms of differnt types of radioactive material. When they traced back the mistake they found nearly all the smoker rats lived longer (some never died) than the non-smoker rats with regard to radioactive particulates in the airstream being pumped through their cages.

  12. f) smoke a fag in the closest pub? Can't we leave Meenzer out of this? "Panic on the streets of London Panic on the streets of Birmingham I wonder to myself Could life ever be sane again ? The Leeds side-streets that you slip down I wonder to myself Hopes may rise on the Grasmere But Honey Pie, you're not safe here So you run down To the safety of the town But there's Panic on the streets of Carlisle Dublin, Dundee, Humberside I wonder to myself.... Burn down the disco Hang the blessed DJ Because the music that they constantly play IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE Hang the blessed DJ Because the music they constantly play On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down Provincial towns you jog 'round Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ HANG THE DJ" Ralf Emerson Waldo Morrissey. kisses from LA.

I've just bought it and I'm just getting into it. Quite 'soundtrack' like. Edit: Underworld as well - Dubnobasswithmyheadman and Second Toughest In The Infants All what Alex said. Never really had Portishead in this category although now I think about it they are. I'd add Cocteau Twins if Portishead are sneaking in.
  14. I can't belive you've stuck by her.
  15. Least he tried to make it interesting. Rather that than phat Tracey or fat Carole. he was cringeowrthy, which isn't interesting tv imo. Only brian is worse in this respect, thick plank that he is I'd have rather Carole out. Billy has few redeeming qualities. All that fiddling with his hair....
  16. Just been checking far away trains...V good.
  17. you said people go to Tescos to shop and go to pubs to relax I can't see how that excuses discrimination in who gets to work where tbh There's no discrimination in who gets to work there, just a difference in who might want to work there err. that's discrimination.... no-one willingly wants to passive smoke, and it's a risk that has nothing to do with the job why should some jobs expose workers and some shouldn't? It's got nothing to do with job conditions Just get smokers to smoke in smoky pubs.
  18. 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 Perky doesnt make stuff up in his head, the pixies tell it to him I know too much tbh.

  20. 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.

  22. 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.
