soubriquet

Nope, no Photoshop. I haven't even stretched it. Apart from the crop it is exactly as from the camera. The only time I've seen bruising like it is when my brother T-boned a car at about 60mph on his motorbike, and went over the top.

The stitching is far too neat for my handiwork. There are two other cuts, and a lot more bruising. That's four tumours in four weeks. She's handling it better than me, but that's not saying much

Absoluteluy, gladly. Everyone is welcome to stay at home or go to wherever the 150 choices of non-smoking venues are. Chosing to be an arsehole is going to get you banned.

Erm. What planet are you from? I went outside to smoke. Do you require everyone to stand outside for a beer or a glass of wine?

"It looks like the North Sea bonanza is largely over" Maggie used it to build Trident and sack the miners. Norway used it to invest, and pay off future obligations. Time will tell, but I'm not planning to need a UK pension between now and death.

She gave me a terrible hard time coming out from anaesthetic. in vino veritas

She's recovering now. Three tumours removed. She's purple and green from neck to navel and elbow to elbow. Another technical success, and the stitching is beautiful. Hopefully home by Wednesday.

Mantas (and all others here) I wouldn't dream of lighting up in your home/personal space. That would be an insult. And thanks for the invite

Thanks everyone. Last time I was in Subiaco, Mamabear, there were about 150 cafes restaurants, and bars. All non-smoking. There was also one pub. Smoking. The last time I was in your lodge, FT, it stank of (wood)smoke.

You can go anywhere you want, and have whatever you want wherever. A totally smoke-free environment. There are plenty of places to choose. Pubs are for smokers and drinkers. Bugger off. And for those of you who have ever sparked up a splif :finger: Hypocryte.

Good for you. Alcohol kills people. Do you drink?

The fire Mamabear. Don't forget the toxic fumes pumping into the air. If its organic matter burning through a fag, then it's going to kill your grandchildren at 50 paces. If its organic matter (charcoal) on the barbie, then everything's fine. If it's toxic, carcinogenic carbonised meat or snaggers, then it's perfectly OK to feed it to your family. One look at a fag packet though and everyone's pretending to be dead. I used to like the Captain Sterling. A pie, a pint and a smoke. Can't do that now

All I care for is the walking talking bit. I want her home. Damn you bstards, I'd love a pint (or four) of real beer. Make mine a Sam Smith's.

Excellent. Big Brother Pat was ripped from Perth at about 12. His vision of the Albion Tavern was brown men in brown suits and brown hats drinking brown beer. The last time I travelled the Stirling Highway, all the pubs were dead. For a free country, Ozzies are real experts at narrowing choice. A latte in Subiaco, or wog thumping cruiser in Freo. Get Yore Kulture Hear.

Nice here too. Very comfortable in shorts and T shirt. Just back from hospital. The memsahib isn't out of surgery yet, so I missed her. She's going to be coming home minus one tit, but coming home nevertheless.

I smoked outside your place FT, and didn't inflict my habit on you, your family or your guests. I also cleaned up and around the ash tray.

Pubs are dieing.

Pubs are for smokers, drinkers and rationale people. Anti-smoking perverts have killed pubs. Bugger off.

Mission successful. No smoking in the pub. No drinkers in the pub. The Captain Stirling was a good pub, walking distance from home. The wowsers farked that Yes, I prefer (now) to go to the supermarket for a beer.

Wowsers. It's curious how the antipodeans (anti-establishment and all that) should to be led by the nose.

Beer-free pubs. You are going to pay be paying tax for this pleasure.

I am a very considerate smoker. I really respect eaters in restaurants and other enclosed spaces enjoying their food. Pubs are for drinkers and smokers. Bugger off. I see, Big Will, that pubs are dying. That's a shame. A pint, a pie and a fag used to be enough. 1/10d for a pint of bitter Piss-off to your drug-free pub. No alcohol club will be fun

You are perfectly free to bugger off. Go away. No-one force you to stay in a Pub. Bugger off.
