The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

Whilst sipping a fine vintage from a branch of yates, a rather large bloke and a tanned dishellved chap sat on a table three metres away from my self and a work collegue. I paid little attention as i slobbered into my pint and stared at my mates breasts (his girlfriend wasn't to impressed). As they walked towards the bar to get a few more drinks in, l looked over to the table directly in front of me where the two chaps were sitting. I went to look away after a while but did a double take.

Is that who I think it is?

Tanned, covered in stubble with a noticable * accent...this could only be one person.

Briiiiiinnggg on the babes beppe!

I cannot be 100% sure.... but by god if not thats one hell of a tribute act. Since draught beer was off for a while, I had succumbed to drinking buweiser from a bottle. Low and behold who was not only indulging in the same sort of venom (budweiser) but was also syncronising each raised arm and slurp along with the trash almost symbolising a mutual respect for each others work. He had finally witnessed the charisma and pulling power of the piowmaster...realising that his puesdo italian charm and womanising skills was not going to cut the mustard in stevo's back yard, he briskly left the premisis. Of course not before he gave me one last acknowledgment of respect as Peggy Mitchell propped me up with another lager.

Now you may be thinking, 'is this one of those surreal posts?'. I can assure you this actually happened today (apart from the peggy mitchell bit).

it took you two minutes to read that post? Rather long?

i'm sure your rather boring and dull life will not be greatly altered by the loss of two minutes.

and i'm sure i speak for most of the board when i highlight my dissapointment that that your didn't.

But hey ho.....how about you come up with a post that entertains us. I'm sure you could come up with a few 'fag' and 'puff' gags based on your anti smoking stance.

I await with ronnie barker style anticipation, ready to theive this potentially hilarious post coming up from timb.

It may surprise you to hear that I am very anti-smoking. I wish it was banned. I find it disgraceful that this terrible habit is costing the govenment millions each year on health care, yet it's still legal.

If it was illegal it would be a huge headache for the Government because people would be smuggling it in and getting it by dodgy means. Like any drug, its impossible to stop people taking it and it would still be costing more in health care.

True, but it would force quite a lot of people to give up. I would certainly avoid smoking if it were illegal.

But it would be 10 times worse, people don't like being deprived of what they like, which is why, as you said there is a big smuggling problem.

I haven't said wether or not I smoke, and I don't intend to. You can make your own judgements.

Exactly - whether you smoke or do not smoke should not influence opinions on you.

if smoking doesn't make you stupid then why be ashamed of whether or not you do smoke?

Its not being ashamed, its not letting people like yourself cast judgements when you have no right.

you shouldn't worry about what other people think. i clearly don't

But from all of my postings would you or would you not say I'm an intelligent person? Bear in mind that at this point you don't know if I'm a smoker or not - and that is the entire point I'm trying to make.

Sorry, I should make myself more clear, I meant i thought you avoided smoking anyway...
