LOL ! Our idea of a good day out was to go to Morpeth on market day Wednesday, as the pubs were open all day on market day, but they closed during the afternoon normally. Getting drunk was the order of the day, drugs were unheard of and the only dancing would be trying to avoid a punch when a fight started with the angry locals ! Cheers.

mel b 2,763 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Speaking as an ex 60/80 a day smoker , I wish fags had been banned long before I started smoking . I haven’t touched a fag in years , but I'm still a chronic nicotine addict . I spend my life clinging to my vape , and I hate it. I've done some dumb ass things in my lifetime , but starting smoking was the dumbest . 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The best of it , is that I hated smoking . Fags taste like shite , and make you feel like shite , make you smell , bankrupt you , then kill you. You start smoking because you think it's the thing to do( because your mates do it), but by the time you realise just how shite it is , it's got you , and you're f****d . You're just a slave to nicotine, and it owns your soul. Lots of smokers tell themselves that they enjoy it , or that they can give up at any time they want , but in reality , if they had an option , they would quit instantly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't bad when I was young walking in the pub bought a pint of Tankard got the fags out and flashed then about. Gave up for seven years then for some reason started again. Sea fishing was worse cast out cup of tea and a fag then check the bait the cup of tea and a fag, the same all night. Gave up over twenty years ago now best thing I ever did. Wifey carried on until last year and I would buy a pouch of baccy for her ffs the bloody price was ridicules. Lost to many to tobacco my Father who at 60 couldn't walk up a short hill because of it, Bother-in-law last year cancer and severe mates gone just recently all smokers. I understand is peoples choice but I won't be sad to see the back of Tobacco. Cheers Arry Edited October 31, 2023 by Arry 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smoking is awful, and a couple of the worst days of my life , was when I realised that my kids smoked . I knew only too well that they thought smoking was OK because they'd seen me doing it . Fortunately they both kicked the habit much earlier than I did . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad your kids stopped,ciggies are harder to quit than heroin apparently. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
