They should be fucking tasered. Usually right next to the signs stating 'no smoking on hospital grounds'. The ultimate in cool badass behaviour. Or a great way to advertise that you're illiterate, have a serious problem with addiction, and smell like Satan's farts. Useful information for everyone, really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think that massive doses of morphine might take the edge off my crippling nicotine addiction. A wee 24-hour Wetherspoons would be a useful addition to a hospital. Lots of sorrows to be drowned, and it'll only be fair to give throbber something enjoyable to do while Throbberta does the heavy lifting in six months time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems absurd to tell a dying man that he's not allowed to smoke because it's bad for his health. There are easy ways to keep the smoke away from other patients and staff. NRT is nowhere near the same. Edited August 27, 2017 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be no need for them to if a space was set aside for smokers, instead of sneakily hanging around the entrances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dangerous exactly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Television programmes being referred to as 'seasons'. How else should they be addressed? The Series is the actual programme itself so saying 'Series 2 of Still Game...' doesn't make sense IMO. 'Season 2 of the Series Still Game...' makes far more sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Spoons Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Probably been said before, but the way a really good film on sky finishes and as the credits begin, with a well chosen piece of music, the picture shrinks and an annoying voice announces what is coming soon on sky movies! Happened recently with Full Metal Jacket - paint it black and War Dogs - Everybody Knows (Leonard Cohen). Both songs are part of the film! Chosen carefully. Grrrr! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could acquire it for even less but I'm rarely bothered enough to go out of my way to watch a film, so when something good's on TV at such a stupid time it's a bit annoying. It's also somewhat irrelevant since I celebrated Heat being on Dave by watching it on blu-ray to avoid adverts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
