Will you go out with me?"Bloody Kraut, a" asks, "How did you get your current flame to go out with you? If they turned you down, how bad was it?"
Was it all romantic? Or were the beer goggles particularly strong that night?

I like the Pavlovian thingI was in a beer garden last night (and the night before that), and the smell of the smoke brought back some great memories of pre-smoking ban.
For me as a non-smoker, my clothes smelling of smoke just was a reminder for me of being in the pub and drinking. Which I really enjoy. And in particular the fact that the room dims as your vision dims with the drink. The smell of a smoky atmosphere, not the acrid smell you get now of smoke blowing through the doorway of a pub, really had a pavlovian effect on me. It was great.
I am really sad that that is gone. You can be sat in a brightly-lit Ikea showroom with a gallon of booze inside of you, and it just feels twee. Not seedy, sordid and secretly delightful like it did in the past. *tingles*
Air pollution, schmair pollution - some people just get off on telling other people what to do.
