Let's get together and watch. Although I may have to spray you with Febreeze first.

But it's your fault that you smoke!

Ah, I see now! I thought you were just implying a general hygene problem.
It is my fault, but I was young and under pressure from my peers. And TV glamourised it etc.
So quit. Think of all the money you could save "in the current economic climate" and how people think "Ugh, you scum" when you go and ask the lady at the counter for more.

Ha!
Are you being... thingy?
Alun Cochrane? Yes.
Oh good. 
Quitting smoking is freaking hard! It's one of the hardest thing I ever did. I smoked for 8 years and when I decided to quit I was smoking close to a pack a day.
These are what I credit to quitting:
1. Going from a pack down to a few a day.
2. Quitting in the winter...because it sucks smoking out in the cold.
3. Quitting when I had a cold. Because as every smoker knows this is the only time a cigarette is not appealing to you. When it grates at your throat! Ahhhh! I hated that feeling.
4. A pipe. When I REALLY needed some smoke I had to take the time to pack and light a pipe. It took so long that the craving was often over by the time I got it lit.
5. Friends who support you who don't smoke. My friends who did smoke were ASSHOLES! They would actually leave lit cigarettes walk away and say "if I come back...and this smoke is gone..I will assume it just burned away".
6. MINT ANYTHING!!!! Especially chocolate bars. I don't know why but it made for a mighty fine substitute.
I haven't smoked in 8 years now.
Jeez the only person I know to be that much of an asshole if George Bush.
Albeit going cold turkey with a pipe is a funny image.

I mean an old bloke who spends vast effort delivering presents, to kids who don't really need them.
Whilst ignoring genuine poverty and suffering.
I mean maybe Santa used to be a great idea in times of closer knit community.
Now it just seems like bending over for a major raping by the big corporations.
With a sprinkle of cinamon and holly.
Yawn!
If a little bit repetitive.

I have cut down a heeeell of a lot in recent months. I have to cut down slowly it is just too hard to stop abruptly - doing that always gives me pains and sometimes chest infections as well.
Congrats anyway Curt, I'll use you as inspiration!
