    Vile, nasty habit in fairness!

    If it ever happens here, Robbie Keane will be bankrupted
    :pac:
    God I hope that happens here. Can it be my Christmas present? And outlaw chewing gum for my birthday.

    I really hope this crosses the water.

    Spitting is the most vile and disgusting thing in the world and imo completely unnecessary.

    If it's in the Daily Mail, then it is definitely true.

    What about a chap choking with sinuses problems? Not something you can prep for.

    I say spit away.

    How do soccor players produce so much phlegm? When I play sport or run or whatever, I don't hawk up as much as they do? Is it the hard man image or something?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 560 ✭✭✭markomuscle


    does this include sports players during games?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 485 ✭✭Play To Kill


    Got a cough or a cold? Better not go outside in case you get fined for clearing your throat. Silly law!

    Ever been to China? They'd collect a lot in fines if they ever brought it in there

    Is it OK to have a flute?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,444 ✭✭✭✭Skid X


    What about a bit of phlegm, surely that's better out than in?

    Yes, you'll have to pay the spittle tax though.

    Why chewing gum:confused:

    GUM CHEWING'S FINE WHEN IT'S ONCE IN A WHILE.
    IT STOPS YOU FROM SMOKING AND BRIGHTENS YOUR SMILE.
    BUT IT'S REPULSIVE, REVOLTING, AND WRONG.
    CHEWING AND CHEWING ALL DAY LONG
    THE WAY THAT A COW DOES

    It is a durty habit alright, but sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

    Have you never heard of a tissue?

    Let's have fines for jaywalking too.

    If the good Lord had wanted us to carry tissues around, he'd not have invented sleeves.:)

    Please inform yourself of the ailment before any glib out of hand comment. That is just embarrassing.

    Are you made of money for little 10 packs of tissue, or do you expect us to top up with big roll every time we're in the loo?

    Have the place like Singapore!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I really lose a little bit of respect when I discover someone is a spitter. You should always swallow.

    Ban blowjobs too. They're worse. French kissing? Disgusting. We should all become robots.

    I don't give a **** what you do, as long as you don't spit phlegm all over the place.
