I think that if it were still going, Neon Radio (U.K., don't forget) would be my favourite (5 Years Old last year) But maybe that is because it is (was?) on-air 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in Stereo. http://neonradiouk.tripod.com/ (updated September 2007, of course) (do I get a prize for mentioni...

Can I add at this point that Mr Q's post was brilliant? He sees both sides. He understands the passions on both sides. He's human enough to want compromise, tolerance and respect for both. I don't agree with his belief that there are any health problems to non-smokers. NO evidence suggests that what...

There are a whole myriad of reasons why that could be the case (although i've got no figures to prove either hypothesis), and i'm surprised that you can't consider them (or maybe you can, have got retorts and i'm falling into a trap); . No, Mich, you are mistaken, sir. I ***AM***asking other people...

jonnyboy, you seem very ignorant of the health risks of tobbaco smoke. Just because you can't think/imagine what is happening to your body because of the chemicals in cigarettes, and the physical nature of smoking itself, doesn't mean nothing is happening. I undertsand you may enjoy your fag - does...

I love listening to the internet radio stations at work - there are so many of them to choose from in dozens of different genres. What are your favourites? I like ambient/chill-out music myself and would recommend these to you lucky people... 181.fm ChillOut* Soma FM 1.FM Chillout Lounge radioioAMBI...

Since when have the rights of the minority out-weighed the rights of the majority? In the supposed liberal democracy we inhabit, every individual's rights are as important as the next person's and they all deserve to be defended equally. For example, I wouldn't want the ban overturned - just amende...

I guess you'd complain if someone sat next to you with a very-low radioactive bar in their pocket. To be honest, Alexia, this is the problem debating with someone who REALLY hates the smell of tobacco smoke - you have zero perspective on relative risks. There is NO real, verifiable evidence that sh...

No we can't. I can't and neither can you. Experts in many fields we are, but not in health. Virtually all of the evidence states that second-hand tobacco smoke does not cause short- or long-term health threats to people in smokey rooms. That is a fact and we just can't get around that, regardless o...

Neither you nor I (who both enjoy a smoke) can say with ANY certainty that it causes "no-one else any harm". We can say that with near certainty, Gavin. There is no statistical evidence to suggest any short- or long-term threats to health by exposure to tobacco smoke. As there is zero dou...

Australia is definitely off the cards. They've already banned the safe smell of tobacco from just about everywhere. Now, the next war is on the humble "deadly peanut" . PEANUT butter sandwiches have been banned from a Government building because of concerns the smell could trigger a deadly...

Nonetheless for the most part I appreciate your opinion on things and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. I've often considered starting my own religion, like L Ron Hubbard. As soon as I get those high-price courses together, you'll be the first to know. ;) Spain or Cyprus? You really are of a wo...
