New Year's Resolutions

No, just slow, crap handling, noisy, short on space and with a shitty AWD
system.

That said, I'll be nice about it when I need towing out of a snow-drift.

figs.

I mean - it's only one letter - you'll hardly notice the difference.
Plus, all the time you'll spend on the shitter is more time occupied
where you would previously have been smoking.

 

You're starting a bit early with the "Best of Darsy 2005" compilation,
aren't you?

That's rich, coming from someone who owns a three-quarter scale model of
a real car.

Pah. It does what it needs to do.

I think the price just went up.

 

I fail to see a problem Seriously, though, if you're going to have
sufficient willpower to stop completely shirley you could handle this?

Well yes, that's what I said. But if it's _allowed_, but only in some
situations, that would remove the complete backslide tendency, no?

Me too, which is why, as Steve said, I use it, along with booze, as a
recreational drug of choice.

 

Well cigarettes, certainly - not so sure about the nicotine.

But most people seem to manage perfectly well with alcohol - society
has just changed to perceive it as only acceptable at certain
times/situations; I don't see why smoking should be any different.

You wouldn't do it if it weren't for that. There is nothing else in a
fag which gives the buzz.

If you are going to accept smoking, drinking and all the rest of it as
drug taking and a normal part of our culture then no it shouldn't.

 

for about 250ms I thought you were being oddly complimentary, and then
I realised that Google had fucked me over again.

 

Not really. It's more about being alone.

Still a haunting book though, I read it earlier this year and was
trying to remember the title to stick it in my list for ben.

 

Rubbish. Most of the immediate "buzz" is oxygen starvation.

Well _I_ do, to be sure.

 

I've found Buiteman's range of little crumbly cheese biscuits is
helping. Though fresh fruit is probably the best idea, I'm eating out
of season cherries.

Any helpful hints and tips from your end?

No it in't. It is the nicotine kidding yer brainal receptors into
kicking of a shot of dopamine or something. Try snuff, it is a few
seconds later and slightly less intense but you will recognise it.

 

Maybe because my alcoholic drink doesn't end up circling round the head of
the people not drinking alcoholic drinks?

I'm anti-smoking I'll admit - I just think it's grossly selfish and when you
think about it, an utterly stupid habit.

You're burning bits of plant rolled up in other bits of plant. Why?

Logically, it makes no sense.

 

That's a completely irrelevant argument that's been done to death
elsewhere. I'm not interested here in discussing where one should, or
should not, be allowed to smoke, but simply how one can view it as
something which, like alcohol, taken in moderation is not particularly
harmful[1].

Why selfish? I'm not asking you to join me. I actually think it's
selfish of some non-smokers to deprive me of my right to enjoy a ciggy
in some environments, but that's another issue again.

Like drinking alcohol or caffeine; or eating fatty or sugary foods; or
any of the other myriad potentially harmful things that we humans do
which are not actually essential to our survival.

Whereas you're happy drinking mixed up bits of plants infected with a
fungus? I don't really see a big difference.

Logically, neither does drinking alcoholic beverages.

In both cases, non-users would be unable to understand the pleasurable
effects that are available to some people.

[1] I'm basing this on doctors (including anaethsetists) who say that
my 5-a-day 'habit' is viewed by them, and insurance companies for whom
they provide medical reports, as equivalent to a non-smoker.

 

Possibly my favourite bit of film ever.

 

May I add, on Richard's behalf, "don't rush it".

 

Wasn't this book written without using a single semi colon, comma or
verb; something along those lines anyway.

I got half way through it and decided it was as dull as ditchwater.

 

Richard Giles says...

I owe my pot-belly to peanuts. Tesco were doing a kilo for 98p at the
time. I was still smoking too.
