I've always been quite anti smoking had a gran who dies of lung cancer, but since I was pregnant with DD and now that I'm out and about with her it really angers me when people are smoking in public areas, if it were up to me I'd ban smoking in all public places ie high streets, door ways to, restaurants, childrens play areas etc and don't even get me started on the bit outside the hospital and make people smoke in smoking rooms or back streets. I got abuse from a woman the other day who came over to speak to DD and puffed her smoke all over her when I asked her not to.

YANBU, smoking should also be banned in outdoor public places where there lots of people like streets, parks and beaches.

beer That'd never happen now. I'm only 27 and I fear I missed the days when concerts were, well, cool.

The only show worth seeing now is Rammstein beacuse, apart from their frankly bitching tunes, they play with fire.

BU, what outdoor spaces do you think are ok? Beaches in Scotland are fairly quiet due to the fucking Baltic weather climate....and sand is actually perfect for burying fag ends in extinguishing cigarettes.

Hats off to Roy Harper.

Itunes is no good, you need an authentic vinyl crackle. Makes you have a comedy fall over when you get up to turn the record over. Grin

What we COULD do peeps, is all go underground, have our fags, and then pop out in the middle of the street on reverse bungie cords!

I think we've achieved our goal, which is to illustrate that the cool people are hanging out outside in the smoking area..

VirgoGrr · 23/08/2011 20:36

Thankyou BeerTricks, sucessfully articulating what I was trying to communicate.

Asmodeus · 23/08/2011 20:38

virgo my husband doesn't even smoke but he always ends up outside with the smokers because he knows what you have said to be true :)

MoominsAreScary · 23/08/2011 20:40

UB40 is what we listened to

alphabettyspagghetti · 23/08/2011 20:41

lol...It wasn't me Beer. I'm the one laying down on the floor because the THOUGHT of even sitting up makes me queesy.

alphabettyspagghetti · 23/08/2011 20:43

I've got vinyl, Just nothing to play it on. I was going to get rid of it as it was The Ex's but then I saw what he had and decided to keep it all.
