  • time is a ticking on us smokers..........

    i know its not long now until us smokers have one of our human rights taken off us but that is not what this is about.
    heard on the radio this morning that someone (nhs) have proposed to let smokers have paid time off from work to go to stop smoking sessions and the like to help them stop smoking. i personally think its a waste of time as the lazzy workers will exploit it. the bit that really narked me was the bit said that NON smoking work mates and coleagues would be offended by this. i give up!!!!, they have chased us from pubs and public places, but they the NON smoking lot would be offended by people taking paid time off to attend stop smoking sessions; what do they want????. all smokers dead.



    the next point is, we our bussiness has just been sent information from the nhs and local councils with great big no smoking signs to stick in the limousines, hearse, removal cars, doors offices etc. now i am the only one of us who smokes but never in the cars, never on a funeral, never inside our offices. no one who comes to se us has ever lit up, never, never. the council say we HAVE to show these signs to inform people that these places are non smoking and if we dont we could be prosicuted by local inforcement officers.
    so the goverment ban the smokers from smoking on work premesis but also will fine our bussiness the non smokers for not displaying signs. there is no way we are going to stick dirty red signs up un the hearse and limousines, saying no smoking it would just not look right.

    i know we have had the smoking thread before but i thought i would light it up again and see how long it lasts until its stubbed out



    cheers

    how that gonna work at the Crem??

    perhaps they're worried that if you don't stick signs in the hearse that the 'passenger' might inadvertantly light up! I think I might need a fag as well in that case!

            Not just you Mark. School's are inundated with literature saying you have to display No Smoking signs. No problem there but the pushy companies are now saying if the sign doesn't say "school" in the message it doesn't count..... "so buy our signs" Hate to think what the damage will be...and to who...if 14 year old Willie is caught smoking in the bogs.... and there's no sign lol. Suppose he'll invoke his human rights. I've never smoked and I hate the smell but I've just come back from watching the cricket in the pub and I've put up with it as a personal choice (rather than buy Sky I suppose) so I feel sorry for "you lot"

              my dad stopped 40 odd years ago but he was saying to me today that when i am 60 lol, it will be allmost impossible to smoke anywhere, i think he could be right. also heard of a story about a council tennant who could smell cig smoke in her front room even though she did not smoke. the council did some tests and found out it was from the neighbour next door. she was told she could not smoke in her house or face eviction, how true that story was i dont know. it makes you think though that after july 1st when the ban comes in whether some councils might tell tennants they cant smoke in council houses as they belong to the council, just a thought but you never know.


              (so I feel sorry for "you lot") thanks for feeling sorry for "us lot"

                  Pub - place where people go to do unhealthy things

                  If it's fresh air you need sit in the garden

                  If you want to take a good photo buy a camera and put your stupid telephone back in your pocket.

                  If it's a decent country you want move to fecking Canada

                  Or Houghton-le Spring (No laws there)

                      Start smoking then you'll have an addiction to justify an extra few scabby minutes off whilst helping to line your bosses pockets working the most hours of any worker in Europe. Jesus - the worlds going to hell because smokers need to nip out once in a while. Save your venom for the bosses and businesses that dodge tax at every chance they get, squeexing the guts out of us and paying us just enough to stay off the dole.

                      Aye it's all us smokers fault.

                        paul i agree with you and i smoke, why should he get extra time for a fag break.
                        thats his stupid employers fault for being so soft.

                        sless, so when we get the fresh air pubs do you think we will have a ban on kids under eighteen comming in and filthy language which some people find offensive( if its kept to a dull roar i dont mind). i know these wont kill you though lol unlike the fags

                            And people wonder why we don't celebrate St. George's day (He was an Arab born in Palestine by the way). The reason we don't is because English culture at the moment consists of a number of defining traits all of which stink -

                            An irrational fear of real education (Teachers are w***ers and brainy people are kn*bs)

                            A slavish devotion to a pathetic Royal Family

                            A perverted reliance on tabloid newspapers and thinly disguised w**k mags

                            An inabilty to take responsibilty for our fat and lazy lives

                            Our fantastic ability to horribly abuse people coming to our country in fear of their lives or to make life better for their families while we aspire to owning a second home in Spain.

                            Fantastic satistics which say we are just about the worst at fecking everything -

                            Organised resistance is the sole domain of the naive student or twisted religious freak

                            The fact that we pay the highest prices for everything (EVERYTHING apart from Cowies)

                            Just look at the state of the Music Charts and best seller lists

                            We do not deserve a patron saint until we get over the fact that we beat a load of tribals up because we had big boats and we are not that special (Mothers fighting for the right for their kids to eat chips what kind of ****ed up **** is that)

                            Anyhow what I meant to say was this kind of jeeves leads to good men and women not being allowed to smoke a tab in company indoors. And loads of nee naars thumbing their noses at us. If I had enough fists I'd knock you's all out.

                            TABS MAN
