The dreaded Annan - Bloomberg axis.

Annan and Bloomberg deserve eachother.

The more these idiots are against smoking the more I want to smoke. Maybe it's "the fight or flight" syndrome and I'm not fleeing.

I think the biggest shock I had recently was when I learned that Ireland was going "smoke-free" It was a great country once but now that Ireland is in the EU it's become a bit "full of itself" as my Irish mother-in-law used to say.

I E-mailed the Irish Tourist Bureau telling them I'll never visit their country again if the non-smoking law goes into effect.Needless to say,I received no reply.
