    Yup that's one thing I'm thankful for - not having to wash my clothes (and sometimes my hair) after a night out cos I used to absolutely reek of cigarette smoke back in the day!! Oh and I'm pretty sure my lungs are thankful too :D

    So you wear your clothes after wearing them on a night out? grim!

    Judgemental much?? I obviously have different kinds of nights out than you're thinking of. If I wore a top out for a couple of hours at a bar chatting with friends I wouldn't go washing it just cos I 'wore it out' - if it wasn't physically dirty I'd get another wear out of it. If it stank of smoke it would go straight in the wash. Obviously if I was up dancing the night away and sweating like a Spaniard then it would go straight in the wash, regardless. That didn't happen as often as I would have liked. Why I've explained this to a total stranger, I don't know, but it is amusing how people jump to all sorts of conclusions. :D

    Expression I heard ages ago, thought I'd try it out :D

    I'm just saying if you go to a pub full stop your clothes are going to smell, cigarette smoke has been replaced with must, farts, sometimes bacon and cabbage and stale beer. Always wash my clothes after wearing them on a night out. Maybe the lucky lucky perfume chaps should give everyone a dash of febreeze, along with the token squirt in the bathroom.

    Smoking in pubs

    Ridiculous suggestion. It was a rip-roaring success and one of our greatest political ideas that we exported, as many other countries took it up.

    Although I wasn't old enough to drink when the ban came in, I did play pool in my local occasionally and the smoke stinging my eyes was horrible.

    I started smoking the year I turned 18 and I much preferred smoking outside, getting fresh air helped you wake up when you're feeling drowsy, as opposed to drinking in my friends house in a room full of smoke and feeling like shít because of the lack of oxygen.

    I don't need to go out to a pub for my clothes to smell of farts. I'm married to the world's windiest man :D
    (I get what you're saying though. If it doesn't smell fresh it doesn't go back in the wardrobe)

    Tracey Chapman's 'Fast Car'. That new cover version is a crime against music.

    Almost, but not quite, as horrific as Madonna's version of 'American Pie'.

    You'd have to wonder about the thought process of the DJ who would choose to waste 3 minutes of radio on the emotionally empty pop cover instead of playing the stunning, ageless original. What's the point?

    1. Eyebrows...what started as a little bit of plucking & tidying has now gone mad, drawing them on, filling them in etc and they look brutal

    2. Skin colour.....orange now appears to be an acceptable skin colour. Fake tan does my head in, especially streaky, badly applied orange stuff. Similarly make up should enhance natural beauty not to tango yourself!

    3. Nails....again gone too far. Nice simple file & polish grand but so many women going around with nails so long they aren't practical, pictures, sparkles on them etc.

    Female and hate this crap!

    Cadburys Chocolate.

    It was yummy and now it's goey, sugary, tasteless American style gunk.

    I had a Creme Egg recently and it was pure muck and tasted like cake frosting and they've totally screwed up Dairy Milk. I used to love running my fingers over the foil and the logo came out and you'd that nice, slightly waxy chocolate that snapped as you broke the squares off and it actually tasted creamy and milky.

    It's a totally different product now and it's just meh!

    They also keep putting Oreos in everything! Milka is destroyed too and Toblerone no longer tastes the same either.

    All owned by Mondelēz / Kraft now.

    +1 for handbrakes wtf with the freaking button-climbing up the slope at least you could control tension,now its on off :confused:

    also auto gearboxes on new cars instead with joysticks DSG is ok to have,but this american trend of people not being able to use clutch and gears at the same time -seems lazy.

    The off side rule - what's with all this interfering with play bullshít, if you're standing on the pitch you're interfering with play, that's why they only allow 11 per team even stand on the pitch.
    If it's a ridiculous argument to say you had 12 players but only 11 were interfering with play (which it clearly is) then it's every bit as ridiculous to say you had 11 but only 10 were interfering with play.:mad::mad:

    Mad Max & Ghostbusters

    New Mad Max imo is excellent. New Ghostbusters is just okay. BUT they should have left Batman and Superman as separate series instead of combining them both!
