As far as I know, on each £5 pack of ciggies, about £3.50 to £4 is purely tax and VAT. That's why people smuggle them in from other countries as they are so much cheaper.

October 7th marks 28 years since I last had a fag.

A smokers cough that just would not disappear, vanished within 2 weeks of giving up the dreaded weed.

Now I was a 30 a day man back in 1980, so I'll do the maths. 28x365x30 a day = 306,600 which I would have smoked but have'nt.

I don't know how much fag money I would have saved, if I hadn't spent it all on booze, fast women, motorbikes and illegal substances. But thats another story.

I do remember that my last packet of fags, 20 Gold leaf, cost me the princely sum of 51p.

Has anyone noticed that certain fag brands disappear. When I was young everyone seemed to smoke Players No.6, or Players No.10 if they were short of cash.

As kids we used to buy the cigarettes in the prettiest packets. Carlton (purple). Consulate. And when we were feeling daring we would buy a packet of Capstan Full Strength, which used to blow your head off.

Anyone know if any of these brands still exist? Anyone tried giving up, and failed or succeeded? :) :)

Good news Dusty. Being without the phone or internet access can drive you crazy after a while.
Have you spoken to your doctor about these little people....he may be able to help. ;D ;D ;D

Have not driven an MX-5 .
Sorry to tell you this but they are without doubt a hairdressesrs car.
Driven mainly by women and John Barrowman and Dale winton types.
If you must drive one ,do it at night in a disguise.............or better still let your wife or girlfriend drive it.

It is a shame really because I have heard that they are a great drivers car.......(for women.) :y :y :y :y

Although I am without doubt the ugliest member of OOF, I have decided to take the sack off my head that I usually wear...... just this once.

So now all you OOF members know what I look like :y :y

I will go on the OOF calendar now if anyone wants me to.

« on: 28 July 2008, 19:24:18 »
I have noticed that most of the lady forum members are quite happy to show their pictures for all members to see, but of the men, only psychnurse and the Holy Count are willing to show their true selves.

This got me to thinking, are these the 2 best looking men in the whole of the forum?

I propose we should have an OOF calendar (just like the WI did) made up of good looking forum male members ( no pun intended). This could be published and sold throughout the world, and should make the forum a lot of money.

Forum members would stand behind strategically placed parts of Vauxhall Omega's. The well endowed could stand behind a door or tailgate, the less well endowed could hide their modesty with a wiper blade or similar. ;D

I would have to count myself out unfortunately, on the grounds of being irretreviably ugly. (think John Merrick on a bad day). But I ask all the good looking blokes to give it a go.

Well Guys are you up for it?

Lady forum members would you want them to do it?

A wealthy woman such as yourself Lizzie could probably buy a brace of Insignia without a second thought.
Sadly I will have to wait until Mr depreciation gets his teeth into it,as it certainly will.  ;D ;D :y :y

Sorry you feel this way Kris. Although elderly both my parents are still alive and well so I can't really pass to much comment on your situation.
I do think however that acceptance requires a sense of letting go and I get the feeling you are not ready to do this yet.
Best wishes.
