My wife and I aren't smokers.. but unfortunately, the people who moved in downstairs from us have two teenage kids who smoke... and they have a large "posse" of friends. all who all smoke as well. The parents run a local business and are usually out till late at night leaving the teens the run of the place. And so.. every freakin weekend evening, There are at least 10 teens down there smoking like chimneys to the point that our entire upstairs appartment smells like an ash tray and we have to open our windows to let the freezing cold air in just so we won't die of seccond hand smoke !!
 I can't imagine the damage they're doing to their lungs and the walls of the apartment down there. There's literally so much smoke that I doubt there's much oxygen down there for their brain cells to use.

http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/information/index.jsp at the cost of £135.50 for a colour tv license I always used to laugh and make a joke about the concessions for disabled people as follows: If you're normal you pay the full amount, if you're blind you still have to pay half, and if you're deaf you have to pay extra! :rotfl: If you buy a new TV from a shop, they will give your details to the TvLicensing people who will send you a reminder. Sucks tbh when all the fee really pays for is the BBC channels, and whilst I say 'good show' to anything with David Attenborough in it, most of the other stuff is rubbish. You can have a TV and not pay a license fee but you must prove to an inspector that the TV is not capable of receiving a television signal... wierd eh?

Thats nuts...
a licence for a tv. i just fail to see the reasoning behind it other than a blatant money grab. as for the smokes, i voted no, btw. as much as i detest smoking, thats just a step too far imo. |

As much as I hgate smokers...espically when they light up next to me without even caring about what I think, that law is a little excessive
