If you can't see it you won't do it

Hey Guy's,

Well just read about the new government scheme of hiding cigarettes under the counter in a bid to reduce the amount of smokers from 21% down to 18.5%, now lets be honest I have been a smoker for 10 years. I really don't see how hiding them is going to make a huge difference, if you are going to the shop for smokes that is the reason you are there. When they are hidden that just mean's more pain for the shops to actually have to describe what is on offer, though I saw a comment off someone saying "well why don't they just stop making them". I can answer that quite easily....

1. they are worth a fortune in tax
2. many people would lose their jobs increasing the unemployment levels
3. there would be alot of people stressing out round the country as there nicotine levels drop

I am sure at some point it will happen and smoking will be banned in this country, it is just a matter of lowering the population of smokers to a low enough level that it wont be noticed. However as soon as they do we will all be charged more tax to pay for that drop, do consider that next time you look at one of us smokers in disgust WE ARE KEEPING YOUR TAX DOWN.

Thats just my thought of the day, remember if you don't share your opinion do you really have one?

WATER BALLOONS NOOOO


That is one scary water balloon!!!

Hey Guys,

Just a quick one as I have got to get back to lectures soon, just had my hair cut to work out DAM ITS COLD. I find it weird that I always find it sad when I have my hair cut as I do normally grow it quite long then once a year I chicken out and have it all cut off, might keep it short now though as in honesty i'm getting a bit old for the emo look lets be honest.

Remember if you don't give your opinion do you really have one?

Hawaii Volcano thats insane

Hey Guy's,

I was reading about the Kilauea volcano which has just started erupting again due to a collapse of the crater's bottom, though this is apparently not a new thing as the volcano has been erupting since 1983. Now in England we don't seem to have many natural disasters lets be honest the last earth quake I actually slept through, but it is hard to imagine a volcano erupting it must be a terrifying experience. Though lets be honest anything that can throw burning hot lava 80 feet into the air is a pant's filler what ever it is, now the question is what are they going to do about it. Obviously nothing but lets look at some solutions,

They Could

Fill it with ice cream
Pee on it (the drunk mans way to put fires out)
Panic (guess they have already done that)
or just wait for snow....in hawaii this might take a while.

Either way this will be a interest story to keep a eye on as I do wonder if it can get any worse.
