What i am saying is back then nobody really gave a shit about passive smoke. But i stick by my comments that the right to smoke or not is a choice for the individual and should be a political decision. What next ban razors because they are sharp?
-
They had the freedom to choose to go in or not, the tobacco ban was the first nail in the coffin. how many pubs are now closed? Most here have been turned into flats in our town centres, Society may have changed but the freedom of choice should still be there.

Local here the birds are all totally wild, been no shoots here for decades now, Up where i was on about last year all you saw was Michigan blue backs, This year its all ring necks.
-
I was at a place Sunday morning, There had been the shoot there on the Saturday, The field at the top is where the sun hits in the morning, This field was alive with Pheasants they were even all over the patio tables. the next field back there was obviously one that had been missed by those picking up. as i stood and watched a battle between half a dozen buzzards and 3 red kites over it for a around half an hour Lol Yes its great to get out.
-
Apart from 75% have closed since the ban came into force. People breath in toxic fumes on a daily basis, Exhaust emissions, Bonfires, factory chimneys. to name but a few. The thing you are missing is, it is a choice to smoke and a choice to enter a place with fag smoke. How many people avoided the best pub in town because people smoked in there? Does the government have the right to take that choice away? A very slippery slope if you ask me.

Most of the old pubs from the 60`s had a bar, a snug, a lounge, an outdoor and a smoke room. the outdoor was where people would come and get empty bottles filled up to drink in home, One pub i frequented as a youngster had an outside toilet. that's ok you may be thinking but it was down 2 flights of very steep concrete steps that went down the side of the pub, on top of this the toilet was about 3ft from the canal, Made it very interesting in the winter when the snow and ice was about, especially when you had swallowed a gut full of ale, Lol.

We had a thing called the smoke room in the pubs here back in the day before they all became fancy eateries.
-
Where i lived in Germany, fag machines were located on most corner houses Lol
-
From a personal perspective, i have lost 3 good mates who all died within 9 months of giving up smoking, Coincidental?, perhaps!. She has the choice and that choice is hers to make.

Morrisons was also brought by the same people that now own Asda.

You forgot the very strange head ware some choose.

So, if this comes in, a bloke of 32 will be still able to purchase cigarettes by a bloke of 31 wont be able to? The wife had to see the Cardiologist last Friday, He told her she had no signs of Cardiovascular disease despite suffering 2 heart attacks this year. He then went to try to give her a lecture on giving up smoking, She stopped him dead in his tracks with her reply, She said to him. You have spent half an hour explaining to me that my attacks were stress induced and not through disease of the heart, Then you tell me to give up the one thing i have in life that reduces stress.

So the Country could do with a Hitler type leader to bring it back on track, Strangely enough i had a conversation whilst at the range yesterday morning and it sort of mirrored what you have written above, Can History really repeat itself?
-
After taking a quick look back into the History of the Jews, It appears that they have been hated since the dawn of time, From King Herod to the stories of the massacres in the classic works Ivonhoe. It is believed that Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany loosing WW1 But that does no seem possible to me as the Jewish population in Germany at that time was around 1% of the population and proportion to proportion equal numbers died in the trenches, The Nazi party was planning the segregation of Jews from main society in the 1920`s. Can Anybody explain why they are hated Lol

I was sat in ditch pigeon shooting one morning, to my right 2 of them were in the corner of the field. I spotted this buzzard coming about 3 ft above the ground from 3 fields away, As it crossed the last hedge into the field i was in, it swung right and headed straight for these 2, They never even moved even when this buzzard grabbed one of them, It got a right kicking for its trouble mind. at one point the buzzard and this hare just stood staring at each other less than a foot apart, My point being, why wasn't that buzzard seen as a threat yet the slightest whiff of dogs scent and they would

I could answer that, but best not to Lol

Nobody knows how they will react until they are faced with a situation, I would like to think that decency would prevail when it comes to women and kids, But sadly i think that is slowly being resigned to the history books, Have you any idea who the bloke was?, was he a local?, has he been caught?
-
Its the way the worlds going mate,
-
As i said i have come across them absolutely drenched laying in a furrow in the plough, when less than a few hundred yards away were dense woodland, Don't get me wrong there was always plenty in that woodland but why some choose to to sit out in the open, is something i never did fathom,
-
It does with all that water, Mind i have seen them piss wet through flat to the ground in furrows but that grass would have been a magnet to me Lol
-
Its hard for me to imagine here mate, This Village has 6 roads and only 2 actually go anywhere other than a dead end. Walk the dog here and the worst that's likely to happen is get accosted by a horse or trampled by the cows Lol,

You read my mind Lol

The World is full of horrible b*****ds mate, I once saw a Big Russian bouncer on the door of a night club in Spain follow 4 Germans, 2 girls and 2 lads down the road from the club, He slapped this girl so hard with his open hand that she was unconscious, Her boy friend turned around and he got hit and went straight down, I have no idea what it was over but it was uncalled for, I could hear the slap from 100 odd yards away and 5 floors up whilst i was having a cig on the balcony.
-
I was once told of a couple of lads who were dropping good numbers of fallow using a 17hmr and night vision again head shots, How ever i could not confirm that this was true.

To late, i am sure he will reappear in an hour or so, Anyway lets try to keep Mushy`s thread on topic lads,
