I would like to know how any of these punters i see smoking outside the pub, how any of them can afford to do both!

Sorry mate, been offline since the 3rd with moving my computer and rerouting the internet cable through the ceiling. I have a smoke everyday, about 8 in all. You just don't have over indulge in things.

The thing is, whether it's one **** or 20, they are now saying it does the same damage. I suppose the only difference is the damage to your pocket!

One cigarette, is that OK Mr Filter? 🙄

SoapySoutar · April 8

Talking about filters, I hear on the radio that there may be a move to stop adding filters, as they often end up littering the streets.

The programme on BBC Scotland claimed they don't work anyway, as you just automatically suck harder to bypass them.

I recall going onto Silk Cut Ultra Low in the late '80's thinking they were healthier 🙄. There were little holes in the filter that evidence later showed users were automatically covering them up to draw in more nicotine etc. and remember reading later that it was causing damage deeper in the lungs.

My local team Lincoln City's done very well of late. We're going up to the Champions League. First time since 1961. The lads have done really well!

I would rather watch grass grow than watch my team at the moment 😂

Not quite that bad! Liverpool.

😂😂 … (sorry)

Holly_Scope · April 8

Actually just had to have a word with myself there. Not sure why I'm laughing at you @Richard_Scope, you're in the Premier League. I think going up has given me a bit of false confidence there for a second. I'll get back in my box 😂

Liverpool's lost their mojo definitely, if they're not careful they're going to get Slotty babe the sack. As for Lincoln, they've done well, but they'll find it tough in the Championship. I used to be based in Lincolnshire near Woodhall Spa for the RAF, lovely part of the world.
