It's bad for you and smells like crap, and if you stop you save even more money, and can be happy that it's not going towards stupid things that are unrelated

My crap former manager who earns 6 digits. Mid 30s. Used to get people to get her duty free tobacco when people when overseas :lol:

You drink alcohol too, right? Do you drive too?
I'd wager you've had more takeaways than me in the last 3 years.

Doing something dangerous? What are you on about mate?

As I have said,do not expect reason from that quarter.

Great - where does that leave me, too wet n cold down here, and there's no way I'm setting up a greenhouse.

I'm surprised no one has said that it's racist against Maori women!

It is the old story here. A very vocal minority gets to make changes to laws without looking at the long term consequences.

It would grow down South but you would lose some of the late crop from any early frost. Baccy does not ripen all at once starts at bottom and 2 months later at the top. I would guess the South Canterbury frost would napalm anything after March.
Yep the maoris sure took a liking to baccy especially the women.

And presumably the power bill will cost.

Makes me wonder why power bills are not inspected by the police to track down operations like that.

851443 2010-02-01 10:19:00 Turia looks as if she is addicted to food, before pointing out the mote in everyone elses eye maybe she should show some self-restraint which she is asking others to do in giving up smoking, she should set an example by eating less, fat hypocritical ..... zqwerty (97)
851444 2010-02-01 10:39:00 Hmmmm.

Some people give up cigarettes and instead take up sweets and or other foods.

I also note that those who used to use cigarettes are like reformed ladies of the night who become prudish for example.

Censors who protect all of us and classify films are presumably not corrupted by watching such material.
