[#1637596]

More a moan than a rant. So sat on a bench, wall, corner in the sun and about to enjoy my lunch and those dirty, smelling addicts decide they want to sit next to me.

At what point are you allowed to stop being polite/biting your tongue?

Is this what Summers going to be like. Smelling the fresh air then having someones addicted bi-product belched around you? Why don't we just eat our lunch sat on a traffic island then?

The future for smokers looks bleak.

you wanted it this way, now your moaning, again.

distinct correlation between a lack of nicotine and an excess of moaning about nothing.

Stop being friends with binners then and he'll stop sitting next to you.

I agree though, it's minging. And being ex smokers we have far more rights than everyone else so do one you dirty smell bags!

For once, I agree with Hora. I think I need a shower now, I feel dirty. Still, won't be long before he espouses the opposite opinion

(ps Binners, I've no problems with you smoking, I just don't see why we should have to endure it 😉 )

Your right it does stink - but I guess its probably more noticeable now because we are not as used to smelling it all over the place now its banned in pubs. I wish it could be banned in beer gardens too but thats probably a bit much on the civil liberties front to be honest

I sat ouside a pub in the sun yesterday afternoon, with 4 other smelly addicts.

They were MTBers and they stank of sweat, just as I did, becuase it was boiling hot and we'd had a great ride.

What's the difference?

Live and let live, mate. 🙂

in 14 years of biking I've never noticed that, except from discarded kit in the back of the car...

Hora - As usual - you're missing the point. Its exactly because the future is so bleak, I'm deliberately trying to shorten my life. Given the age we're all going to have to retire at (probably around 97) and looking at how healthy my private pension is looking (I actually weep when i read my statements), I've no desire to make it past 60. Hence the fags, booze, drugs, Base jumping and random sex with South African prostitutes

Anyway......

I'm not sure the smell of sweat is carcinogenic. 😉

Why didn't you say 'excuse me but I'd really rather you didn't let your smoke waft over me while I am eating, thank-you'.

I think the chances of success (if success is measured by an outcome that involves the removal of smoke from your immediate vacinity) are greatly enhanced by this approach than by the one you chose (if, as it appears, you chose keeping your gob shut, bottling it up and then inflicting it on this forum).

As a non-smoker and almost none of my mates smoke, since the 'smoking ban' came into effect, I've thankfully been spared almost all exposure to cigarette smoke.

Nowadays, when I am exposed to it, it seems to smell even worse than it did when it was more common-place. People used to smoke in public houses! How quaint it now seems.

Some may say "live and let live", but smoke spreads around fairly indiscriminately.

Maybe smokers should be required to use water-filled bongs that capture the smoke rather than open fires that they hold in their hands?

ps. I'm always surprised by mtbers who smoke. The two seem fairly at odds with each other....

Do they not wash? Fresh sweat (even and hour or so old) doesn't smell.

Oh you will and past 70. Smokers seem to think they go out suddenly with in rude health and with a bang. Its more of a slide.

So you want smokers to use the cold, wet, shitty garden outside the pub and as soon as it's nice out you want it back?

Tough titties

You legally have the right to a smoke-free environment in every single indoor space in the country. I have the right to smoke outside only. You have a choice. I don't. This has come about to your incessant whining

So... to put no to fine a point on this.... How can I phrase it... erm, oh yeah.... **** OFF!!!!

Smoking is the most disgusting thing in the world IMO however..... people have a right to do what they want and when they want, if that annoys you then move to somewhere smoke free!

so long as it's outdoors, but that still doesn't absolve them from good manners, though smoking seems to take that out on the first puff 🙁

We watched the entity yesterday, one chap was smoking in a hospital! 😉

Still, I suppose it's more acceptable than watching your girlfriend being raped by a being from another dimension.

Its the passive smoking. Its caused an alter-ego within an ego.

ourkidsam- would you get off with a reet fit bird if she smoked? I've been mulling over that and I'm afraid I may be a hypocrite.

The ridiculous situation we have now:

'Let's go to the pub and take in the fresh air'
'Sitting inside then?'
'Yeah' 🙁

Strikes me the problem isn't "smokers" per se, it's inconsiderate gits. The smoking is just how they choose to be inconsiderate.

You can smoke by moving away from people, not doing it when others are eating, and bagging dog-ends and taking them away rather than chucking them all over the floor. Or, you can not give a toss.

[i]These, er, South African prostitutes you mention though.... [/i]

Well according to one of the wife's glamour mags, South Africa is gearing itself up majorly for the approaching world cup (which is a football game - I looked it up on the internet). The South Africans are expecting lots and lots of football supporters to arrive, get jolly drunk and then want to go and nail someone, a service that the SA brothels are all too happy to provide. Some of these places are having extensions built and have sent scouts out into the countryside to recruit young ladies (and presumably young men since these are football supporters we're talking about) to follow them back to the city where they can earn a fortune just lying on their backs.

It was quite an interesting article despite mainly being aimed at putting the craps up British women by suggesting if their men are going away to watch the footy then they'll spend half their time embedded in SA nationals.

According to the brothel owners, British men are by far the best payers and most regular visitors that they see.

The most intolerant hyprocritical bunch of people i have EVER come across are the born again non smoker. F*cking hateful bunch of tossers.
Oh and i stopped smoking in jan, but i still enjoy the occasional rollie. Doesnt mean i hate all other smokers. It was my choice not to smoke, just as it their choice to smoke.
Of course herion addition isn't nasty or life detroying now is it? But thats ok as long as we dont see it and therefore conclude it doesnt exist.

A lot of non-smokers are offended by someone fagging near you. Smokers know this; I did when I was a smoker so I took my puffing away from families, food etc etc.

Seems to me to be a bit arrogant to be happy to cause offence just because its a "free country" and all that.

If you sit next to a nice family, would you fart, spit on the floor,get your nob out, pick your nose, do any number of offensive things just because you can?

lol you are so right though 🙂
