New years resolutions, well, do you make any ? are they worth it ? you maybe make them and break them ?

My weird and wonderful self, well, to be honest I never really make any.

However, this year I may well give it a bash, errr sorry bad choice of words, okay, I have been smoking since I was ten, I am now forty nine, I have always smoked hand rolling tobacco some times with a little extra flavouring, (Know what I mean ) :ph34r: so, I will give it a real go to pack it up, after 39 years I do not expect this to be easy so I may need a additive to help with the withdrawl symptoms :o

So, any of you going to make any new years resolutions or maybe you reckon they are a waste of time, I will be able to tell you on January 2nd 2006 :rolleyes:
 
Don't bother, Mark. We've all got to die some day, and if you enjoy smoking, you may as well continue. I don't suppose you inflict it on your parrots, you probably smoke outdoors so they're not full of the muck, so who cares? You're more likely to get struck by lightning climbing up those pylons, or crushed to death by an annoyed cow, which will be far more fun than trying to quit. Carry on - just remember, desperate African tobacco farmers are depending on brave souls like you to keep them going! If everyone gives up smoking, there'll only be more poor families begging for aid, so, smokers - keep lighting up for Africa!
 
Not a drop, old bean. I've sunk a non-Diet Pepsi tonight and a coupla cuppas, so could be well caffeinated, though!

No, seriously - smokers must do the right thing and continue to assist African tobacco farmers in the only way that one can - they must continue to smoke and support the farmers' families by doing so. When professional heart-wringers like Sir Bob twitter on about how Africa can't grow enough food to support itself any more (total bollocks, since it's sending half the stuff to Sainsbury's and M&S), he never mentions the multi-million dollar tobacco industry as crucial to the economic backbone of many countries. Dear old Zambia - smokers, it's a lovely, charming and reasonably peaceful country, so keep it like that, and keep smoking! Zimbabwe - why must ALL of the country's people suffer, when a few can manage to keep those crops going? Go on - light up, for God's sake!

To paraphrase the Countryside Alliance: Keep Africa Eating - Fight the Smoking Bans!
 
Well Krizon, after thinking about it I tend to agree with myself, I shall carry on assisting the African farmers, I never knew that killing myself was helping them. :D

We never ever smoke near the parrots neither do the lads we use the small lounge and wash our hands thoroughly after a puff.

Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea :ph34r:
 
Mark - I suggest one of yours should be to regard agricultural livestock in the same light as you would wish others to view your avians......

Songsheet, I love all creatures, the only ones I have trouble with are humans, funny that. ;)

I only tell of the weird things I do, the other stuff I take as normal and everyone would do.

Several years ago in the January we were in Staffordshire, somewhere near Rugely, can not remember exact, I was drunk, surprise surprise, by we I refer to my brothers and brother in laws, we were passing a canal, a crowd were looking in the water a cow was in the canal the water half way up it's body, and all the people were doing was looking, okay, I am extreme but it helps at times, my elder brother and myself jumped in the canal, the others got a strong rope, after much pushing and pulling we got the cow out and safely on the bank, the cows owner was there and thanked us, there was also a rep from the canal ways or whatever they are called, I gave him a rollocking pointing out it was a cow this time it could be a kid next, I made him aware in no uncertain terms it needed fencing ( It has now been fenced )

Like my late father and his father before I was taught to swim in canals,
Last summer I dived in to bring a youngster out who was in trouble.

Please do not think me a cruel person Songsheet, I am in fact the opposite and will do as you recomend, but here comes the sting, no one absolutely no one will stop me dressing the local statues tomorrow night, hats, scarves the works, I am known well by the local police, stange that is it not :lol: :lol: :lol: and they take it in the good humour in which it is meant, if they see me on one of my climbs they say with a laugh I may add " Come on Mark, climb back up and take the garments off the statue "

I like the local cops, maybe because I treat them with respect is the reason I get along with them :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Oh, God please dont put ideas in my head Brian, My imagination is already all over the place all of the time. :D :lol: :o
