piesoup Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Not me though, as I stated earlier, I only smoke in other peoples company if they say I can, I never ask if I can I just presume they would not like it. As for being in a pub and smoking, at the moment you go to a pub knowing it will be full of smokers so I will carry on, if it really bothered you that much you wouldnt be there. Never even knew you smoked Rich!! Being in the forces, I'm kinda used to people smoking, nearly everyone does it. The only times I grips my poo is when tey blow their smoke directly into my face, when I'm eating or when they've had a fag outside, then walk in and breathe all over you! I think that stinks even more than the smoke! I quite like the smokey smell in some pubs, think it gives the place character. However sometimes it can be over powering. Some Super Duper extractors would work a treat, then everyone will be happy, well, nearly everyone! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuffolkZX Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 A respectable gent. :) I do try, I guess I am in a minority, but for me, if it was the other way round I just wouldnt go to the pub, my live and let live outlook to life may not be to other peoples taste but I bet you £1000 I am also one of the least stressed people you will ever meet as well. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I don't give a **** about politics and all that *****cks blah blah shite... all I know is that I'm looking forward to being able to enjoy a pint without coming home snelling like a ****ing ashtray and coughing my lungs up all that night and the next morning! Smokers on the whole are completely inconsiderate, lighting up when you are trying to eat, blowing it in your face, the ****ing stuff stinks and you don't know just how much you all stink as you have all got used to smelling like it! That's a simple fact of the way your senses work, you get used to a smell and to you and you alone it doesn't smell that bad if at all, but all us other poor ******* trying to keep healthy, we are being forced to breathe it all in against our will. I have nothing against smokers as long as they all piss off and do it where it isn't affecting others who choose not to infect themselves with Cancer! :D And just because someone smokes doesn't mean you can't like them or be friends with them, I just can't undrstand why all the nicotene addicts (and yeas you are addicted, it's a scientific fact you are now dependant on it) choose to end up a wrinkled up yellow toothed gum diseased clogged arteried ****ed up lunged cancer ridden old hacking man/woman But saying all that I think the simplest way of doing it would be to have non-smoking pubs and smoking pubs. Job done. But because everything is profit driven in this crazy world we live in that will never happen as has already been pointed out. I can see both sides points, and it's one of those things where you just can't please everybody unfortunately... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd very much like to. Lack of funds at the moment and not wanted to feel sick keeps me indoors. You do seem chilled out and your opinion/view is a well worded one.

Kay Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Actually, now you mention that, there is one of my friends that smokes and he NEVER stinks... it's really weird.. maybe it's a super sevret brand of cigarettes that only covert spies use, and you have just exposed you and me mate as 005 and 007... Man I'm feeling random tonight, I think it may be because I miss my Zeds so much... :headvswal EDIT: And what were you doing getting that close to another dude? :eek: It's all gone a bit pink parade around here lately... :wack: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkysi Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 LOL! Indeed. Not a huge amount. If it were another colour, I'd go for Stillen rear bumper and side skirts, 99 spec front end, rear lights and spoiler. BUT, it's 'classic' type colour, that's not ment to sound retentive in the slightest, but want to keep the main body as it is. 99spec rear lights, light window tints, full leather retrim (2 tone). Considering changing the wheels, but happy with the Rays ones at the moment. So, unfortunately, nothing that exciting. Just want to keep it neat and tidy looking...with something special. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkysi Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 ....oh, and some sound upgrades. Would like a true double DIN HU, with a sub in the boot, replaced the rear speakers already. Also fitted clear indicators. Has some nice things on it as it is. Lovely Veilside exhaust which I am over the moon with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffolkZX Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 now we have gone right off topic :D personally I think white Zeds really suit the clean despoilered look, whereas red and black look good with a few bits added, grey im just not sure of :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewie Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Ireland has had a total ban for almost two years now. I've barely been inside a pub since, like most people I now have a few tinnies at home so I can enjoy a fag. The traditional pub is now dead in Ireland. A lot of country pubs have either shut down or just don't open til about 8 in the evening. The elderly who like a trot down to the pub every day don't do it anymore. The one thing they look forward to has been taken away. they can't stand out in the cold. Non-smokers are also affected as all their friends are standing outside the pub having a laugh and a fag. Ireland brought in a blanket ban with no concessions. if your a smoker, tough, stand outside in the cold or f*ck off home. I believe it's not going to be as stringent in the UK as it is here. And Funkisi, Polls saying 90% of Ireland accept is pure rubbish, Everyone over here knows that. :rant: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
