that old smoking thing again PLEASE VOTE. It's be nice to get Circa 500 votes

[Ironside]

how can you add an option after 90+ people had voted

btw getting 500 votes would be unrealistic if you got 150 i would be shocked

Nottingham's cardroom has a low ceiling, no windows and poor (at best) ventilation.

It is definitely not suitable as a smoking cardroom. Most of the smokers agree.

But other cardrooms with high ceilings and good ventilation are perfectly suitable as "smoking" venues.

Just another viewpoint.

[Bongo]

There's games in towns nearby and non-stop on the net. So if your chest hurts, etc, and you know you are killing yourself by smoking passively.... why do you go?

 

I hadn't been for so long I forgot how bad it was. I probably won't be back again until i've forgotten again.

because, a) I was being moaned at and b) people who voted presumable had an opinion one way or the other. how can someone who has already voted to agree or disagree with the statement suddenly decide they're indifferent.

[Ironside]

i voted but i am indifferent

while we are on the subject of substance abuse, I'll tell you about a dog I had as a when I was a boy, an Alsation x ridgeback puppy that my dad bought for my 9th birthday, he cost seven shillings and six pence

Kim, as I called him, was my gardian, constant companion and best friend. He used to sleep under the caravan directly below my bed.

When he was about 5 years old and in the prime of his life, he developed a bad case of mange, we did everything we could think of but he just got worse and worse, his coat fell out completly, and his skin was just an ugly red mass, he followed me no longer, his life was a misery of scratching and bleeding. The vet, a close family friend, told us, "I have done all I can, it would be a kindness to put him to sleep

On the morning when Kim was due to die,  my Dad told me about a cure he had heard of but never tried, when I asked him why not he said he thought it was an old wives tale that couldn't possibly do any good and would probably just mean more suffering for me and the dog, nevertheless, we resolved to give it a go

The 'cure' involved mixing about a pint of used sump oil (since found to cause cancer) with a pound of flowers of sulphur, (you cant buy it now, apparently it's used to make bombs) this mixture is rubbed all over the dog

When we rubbed it on Kim we regretted it stright away, his screams were pitifull, he cried untill he was exausted. We expected to find him dead the next day, but when I went out to check on him first thing in the morning he greeted me with that old familiar glint in his eye and a wag of his bald tail

I took about six months for his coat to re grow fully, but from the moment we used the oil and sulphur he started to mend, it was a miracle

I did eventualy take Kim on that last trip to the vet, but by then I was a grown man and he was fourteen

After a long and happy life, he was ready
