If the public space is flooded with such stories, nobody wants to hear the word <i>ban</i> anymore. Maybe we just need <i>more</i> bans so we can live live in peace again.Karl Fasbrackehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413111410093492674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-24421706678743909012011-05-10T13:21:46.133+01:002011-05-10T13:21:46.133+01:00You can see the authorities' point.

I can remember as a kid on frosty mornings walking (yes, walking!) to school, and watching clouds of breath floating in the cold air and thinking: “I wish this was real smoke” and trying to make it drift and stay hanging in the air like real smoke did. This from a child of non-smoking parents, too (anti-smokers please take note)! <br /><br />Now, I wonder how long it’ll be before they ban breathing on especially cold days because it “looks like” smoking ………?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-79909764619261606362011-05-09T23:45:27.836+01:002011-05-09T23:45:27.836+01:00I hate to think what they'd make of Spangles (...I hate to think what they'd make of Spangles (yes, I know they have Jolly Ranchers but they're not the same, the paper doesn't stick to them the way it did to Spangles once they'd been loose in your sweaty pocket for an hour or so).TheFatBigothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17255526385076528633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-22035088007016687252011-05-09T20:21:03.940+01:002011-05-09T20:21:03.940+01:00Just you wait until someone over here alights upon...Just you wait until someone over here alights upon "twiglet" smoking - something which I assumed was a total wind up when I heard about it, and so did procure one of the aforementioned "twiglets" - which did appear to be mostly hollow when I bit off one end and duly set alight the other and inhaled - it was a pretty damn horrible taste - a bit like smoking your first herbal (as in herbal - as once sold in health stores - and not a euphemism !) and unless you puff away like a bellows it goes out pretty quickly and requires regular relighting - but it can be done ! And as some people seemed to adjust to and only smoke "herbal cigarettes" no doubt some, especially misguided yoof, would similarly get addicted to smoking twiglets. So I suggest twiglets are withdrawn from sale as they are obviously just a cigarette substitute/gateway device !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
