In certainly confusimakated by confuddle :-)
The evidence about passive smoking is frankly scant Res. However I wont be fool enough to argue the point that if you dislike smoke in your environment then you have a right to have a place to go without it.
Trouble is that smoking is a legal pursuit, and we have the tax revenue to prove it. I'm just fine with you having your own smoke free pubs (although they are all gonna end up glorified steakhouses), but until you get a statute through that makes smoking illegal as a matter of course then I don't really think its fair or moral to prevent any business from making a choice and their clientele making a similar one.
No doubt some of the factors you mentioned are major ones in the difficulties pubs are having currently, but replacing drinkers with restaurant covers isn't an increase in business - its a different business, and there is no arguing that the smoking ban has adversely affected many of the pubs that formerly made a large proportion of their turnover in wet sales.
I can tell you feel strongly about the issue as it is not typical of your usually reasonable and well balanced posts, but by all means good luck getting that total smoking ban through, and good luck plugging the gaping hole in the coffers. It wont happen in our lifetime and so as its legal its an issue of civil liberties, civil liberties for non-smokers AND smokers.
Great bum and taste in shoes :-)
Quite buoyant of late sir. Worth a visit weekends before the witching hour
That sounds a bit heterophobic J mate

We were both lost til we found each other...........
I'm gonna clear out my head
I'm gonna get myself straight
I know it's never too late
To make a brand new start
I'm gonna kick down the door
I'm gonna get myself in
I'm gonna fix up the yard
And not fall back again
I'm gonna clear up my earth
And build a heaven off the ground
Not something distant on a cloud
But something real to me
But something real to me
All that I can I can be
All that I am I can't see
All that is mine is in my hands
So to myself I call
There's somewhere else I should be
There's someone else I can't see
There's something more I can find
There's only love to me
I'm gonna clean up my earth
And build a heaven off the ground
Not something distant on a cloud
But something real to me
But something real to me
I'm gonna clean up my head
I'm gonna get myself straight
I feel it's never too late
To make a brand new start
To make a brand new start
To make a brand new start
At the risk of over crowding and the wrath of the Dirtys its would have to be Holkham
Sticky Buns ?
Hair Pies ?

They react to key words, they're like Pavlov's Doggers
I wanted to do a more traditional show......was looking forward to the line
"NO ONE puts bloke in the corner !"
Course you can as long as you dont smell of cabbage
Actually it is single males that ruin it when we go out. We prefer at least six or seven.
Surely you dont want to be Zak . You wouldnt wanna wear THAT much makeup!
I cant be arsed wit ya Jump. So ..........what everyone else said.......ya ya ya yada
You go out simply to have some fun and it all gets ruined by people who don't get what its all about.
Why is it that people with their cocks in their hands who are about to masturbate in public and ejaculate into their hand whilst we entertain them by fingering spreading inserting or otherwise displaying each others genitals cant manage to obey simple decent standards of basic etiquette?
Hold on jump mate. If you aren't part of the solution you are part of the problem.
Who ever told you the government was responsible for your personal happiness sold you a pup.
The vast majority of problems in our society that I can see come largely from the fact that too many folk sit around looking at their problems, no matter how personal, and say 'why doesn't the government do something about this?"
I'm pink therefore i'm spam
never meant to contradict you anyway. Was just terrified at the prospect of how long breaking down my goal into units might take :-)
