    These vapes are extremely addictive.

    I had some left just prior to this new law kicking in on the 31st May.Smoked them and then got up the next morning and did without but it wasn't easy.Anyway that's a fortnight now and I just nipped up and bought a bottle of Penderyn Single Malt Madeira finish with my savings:emoticon-0148-yes:

    I'm now going to embark on ****ing my liver tonight,much to the disapproval of the NHS:emoticon-0103-cool:

    Can't beat a leisurely Spoons breakfast with unlimited tea and coffee.

    £1.19

    And because the coffee machine is nowhere near the bar you are never accused of getting in the way of seasoned, desperate drinkers.


    You do have to put up with some right old ****e being spouted by any passing spluttering gammon though.

    They still manage to get in the way of people ordering drinks only though...

    Separate queues to separate the wheat from the chaff" liberation for drinkers,that's what I preach,preacher man"...

    Order via App my friend - means you never have to visit the bar again.


    Which is a worry as it appears to be the only exercise some of the more embedded clientele ever seem to get.

    I just find it very ironic that summat brought out to help get off an addictive substance, then becomes the addictive substance.
    The two greatest marketing ploys of all time, bottled water and vapes, you don't need either but billions are made off 'em every year.

    If I was clever enough Id be inventing a vape detector and taking it onto Dragons Den. That would stop the little buggers.

    Couple of lads I sometimes meet in there before City games use it, and to be fair when it is rammed like it is on a Matchday it is actually much better. Your Guinness arrives to a table (or nearby table) without having to wrestle at the bar. I would not use it in normal conditions though, part of the appeal of going to the bar is being able to check the condition of the bar staffs fingernails and ensure they are not spitting in your pint.

    Or try to help companies to employ humans so they earn and contribute . A few years ago when Costa or Caffè Nero reportedly had not paid tax since inception , I told the person serving me to quit as she was paying tax and her employers weren’t ! Totally wrong !!

    Had this chat in Asda several times with the 'helpers' at the self scanning tills, usually when they catch me accidently not scanning things. Most dont get it, but in the one I use there are a couple of savvy old ladies who work there, they know its the beginning of the end and just laugh when my bulging bag is making the thing flash and all my screen says is '2 x Jacobs Crackers'. I figured the only way we will get tills back and protect jobs is to make sure their theft stats go sky high!

    I don't need to wrestle at the bar,the sea parts for me like the red one did for moses...

    All kidding aside,if the Mrs is with me I send her, as she seems to have a knack of getting served far quicker than me...**** knows,maybe she dips her fingernails in it and spits in my pint on the way back?

    As long as it's cold and lively it matters not.

    Their theft stats are sky high and it's then reflected in the price we pay...Like it or lump it,self scanners are here to stay.
