Okay, smartass.

I know where Scotch comes from. I've learned all about it at various tastings in my days. Mmm mm... Laphroiag is my favorite though.

Good call - that's HRH The Prince of Wales' favourite tipple, so I hear. If it's good enough for the future King of England, then I guess you really ARE fancy!

I just heard that the alcohol content is lower or some nonsense in your spirits. Ah well. Must have been false.

Not sure where that comes from - we have a lot of the same stuff you'll find in your local booze shop: Cuervo, Corvoisier, Hennesy, Jameson's, JD, Jim Beam, Bombay Sapphire... etc.
It's probably just a mix-up regarding measures - a 'shot' is a legally-defined amount of alcohol here, meaning that when you ask for a 'double' the barman doesn't just pour a load of spirit into the glass till he thinks it looks about right like they do in Spain (and the US, so I hear...). The barman has to measure it out. Which is total bollocks, and the reason I generally don't drink spirits in a pub unless I'm already drunk.

Fair enough, just don't try it where I game; there's a reason the smokers go outside...

Im a man of iron principles, i think that 99% of people vote in favour of things just because they feel it benefits them, and not because something is right or wrong.

Well I dont like the smell of smoke on my clothes, i prefer pubs smoke free, and its nice to be without a cloud around me when i sup a pint, but do i feth think they should have banned it.

If some 80 year old war veteran wants to smoke his pipe while he has a pint and reads his paper, like his grandfather and his grandfather before him, then he should have the fething right, they were there first. Long before all these pinko fething hippies turned up and started forcing us all to play by their goddamn rules.

If you dont like the smell of smoke (angry feminists and animal rights activists in tye dye shirts who love Ken Livingstone) then why did you get a job in a bar? Go work elsewhere.

feth the non smoking nazis. I say people should be able to smoke where the hell they like, and its the people that dont smoke should deal with it or leave. Its only a minor embuggerance to me.

Wow!...I think I may have just fallen in love with you a bit.

Agreed. I do now wish to have sexual intercourse with mattyrm.

As for me, I've had second hand smoking all my life, and while I was just a little liquid form of a baby in my mom's stomach aswell. Yet I'm fine, well so far atleast.. so feth the non smoking nazis!

As for the doing it or trying it, I'm to young to give that away on an international website..

**deejaybainbridge**

I smoke , have done for many years now (about 14) My advice to anyone out their, DO NOT DO IT, biggist mistake of my life, you think this hobby is expense you aint even close to smoking.

**MasterDRD**

Here's something to think about, smokers; go back through all the years you've been smoking and estimate how much you've spent on your deathsticks. Then add to that any potential respiratory-related medical bills since you started smoking. Come back to this thread and tell us how many boxes of models you could buy with all that cash...

Who has the money? ESPECIALLY wargamers!?

**Amaya**

I've spent maybe $100 lifetime on cigars/dip. I only do it occasionally.

**MasterDRD**

Ok ok, fair point Amaya... But you and I both know this wasn't aimed at you fancy cigar types...

**FITZZ**

I'll readily concede the point that smoking is an expensive habit ( average four dollars a pack in the greater Atlanta area),between my missus and myself we probably smoke up two complete 40k armies a year,maybe more.
But,it's our choice.

**nerdfest09**

Nope not a smoker of any kind, chronic asthma will do that to you!
my other Nerd mates ride the smoke train though.
