ghelseth Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'd call him a discerning gentleman. Hey, did you all read about Gates and Bloomberg getting together to spend $375 million to reduce smoking worldwide, with an emphasis on developing countries? Sounds good to me, but I doubt even that's enough to get some of the hard core smokers here to quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'd call him a discerning gentleman. I'd call him a coward because he does not post in this thread with his normal board handle... Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghelseth Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I thought KS had cleared that up for you a long time ago. No other board handle, sorry. Not now, not ever. Now then, as long as that's cleared up you're OK with 'discerning gentleman'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Suadum, he also doesn't brag in this thread of his katoey girlfriend and boyfriend. How come he doesn't post with their pictures? I bet both of them smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunthom Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I saw that - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/24/health/24tobacco.html?hp When it said that it was a couple of billionaires, I thought it might have been a couple of board members here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartempion Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Although gel's suggestion of calling that number reminds me of the STASI days I can report that the last time I had tu inhale fumes was some 3 months ago at Eurotavern, Vilvoorde Brussels, where a bunch of LOS addicts meets every friday. Belgium has forbidden smoking in restaurants (and taverns?) but no one cares at that place, all addicted customers I guess. Now I was sitting at the village only food place 600kms North-East from Bangkok(can't call it a restaurant due to lack of infrastructure) and I was pleased to see this guy lighting a stick on the road between parked cars. I have not smelled the stink of tobacco in 100 days and feel much relieved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Shit, I was walking right behind you the other night and you didn't smell a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man at Work Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Germaniii just lifted the smoking ban for small pubs who have only one room, are smaller than 75m², do not let people younger than 18 in and do not serve food. They have to put up a sign indicating, that this is a smokers bar. Finally common sense is kicking in - and that in Krautland!!! Here is a toast to freedom of choice!

carew66 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hear, hear. The trouble being of course, that the freaks and busybodies don't want you to have freedom of choice. They know best, y'see? Well done Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Even as non-smoker I strongly support the German jurisdiction here . This was the constitutional court by the way not a local judge in Nakhon Frankfurt . The problem is that including Man-at Work everybody seems to misunderstand the result because it only says that the current jurisdiction discriminates small one-room pubs due to too many clauses saying where you can smoke and where not . If the law would be changed to [color:red]Strictly no smoking everywhere[/color] it just would be like that . The current issue in favour of smokers is just the tecnical reaction to a badly designed law , it does not say smoking should be allowed . My permanent Mantra says : let the smokers assemble and smoke at places which show outside : Here is smokers agreed territory , if you don't like it fuck off . Freedom of choice , kind of .
