Isn't that the bit that proves that the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides?

You certainly know how to live it up eh?

As to the ban, the rebel in me wants to smoke more in defiance. But I've worked in a non smoking office for a long while [13 out of 15 of us in there smoke] and it's no hardship really, you get used to it.

The other day I did hear a girl moaning that all her friends had gone outside the pub for a tab and she was left on her own. God. What do you people want?

Do you allow yourself a sherry at Christmas ? Just the one mind, wouldn't want to overdo it.

I went to a bowling alley the other day that previously allowed smoking and was surprised at how (relatively) pleasant the air was compared to a month or so ago when I had last visited. However, you could smell stale smoke which had clung around from god-knows how many years of people smoking in the place, just goes to show the effect to which it has on the environment of an establishment.

Also, it was pleasant to sit at the platfom at the train station and not having to breathe in the smoke downwind from some addicted person.

As far as I'm concerned, the smoking ban is a good thing, as I will no longer have to breathe others' smoke for extended periods, such as at train station platforms, pubs, restaurants and bowling alleys.

Kudos Chris.

I'm also surprised I could read a TumbleTower quote without having to translate it.

surely should have read:

I only ever go to the PH when I'm on holidays, and that's for my M3 - I have a C2, C3 and one AB to accompany the M3.

The last few posts here have had me roaring with laughter.

What a fabulous place.

The L of S1 is E to that of S2 and S3.

No, not at all funny Ron ("don't call me JM") Owen:

The rather boring original equation created by Pythagumba many centuries ago is funnier:

It had me chuckling all the way to making another post!

Boring?! It's hip to be square(d)

Believe it or not, Pythagoras wasn't only an eminent mathematician, he was also a proficient wrestler.

If all smokers give up their disgusting habit. Just think of all that lost revenue. They'd have to keep the coffers full to bursting ( they have their wage and pensions to think about) so what do you think they'll tax to recover the loss. I reckon it will be the motorist that will shoulder the burden as usual when the goverment sees the loss in revenue from cancer sticks.

Then if everyone gave up their cars and chose to get on their bike and public transport instead they'd have to start taxing pushbikes. And then the public will rebel and protest in their droves causing our health concious PMs to take up smoking fat cigars, quaffing cheap Brandy and getting the quickest route out of the UK by the fastest means possible. What do you mean they already do all of the above?
