I'm very much an anti-smoker
I think it's everyone's right to be able to do so, but think that the indoor restrictions are a great idea. I love being able to come home from the pub, and not reek of fags.

However, I think that this is fucking ridiculous -
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/8105585.stm

Do they genuinely think that it will stop kids from smoking, because they didn't see it in the cinema? For fucks sake, a lot of them smoke because their parents do! Are they going to ban that too?

What's next, they going to put a *censored* bar on television every time someone lights up?

True, it's all a bit over the top now
Although you've got to admit, Humphrey Bogart looks fucking cool.

Did you see that people have complained about Duffy's Diet Coke ad because they say it glamorises unsafe cycling. She's not wearing a helmet!!!

I just saw two lads go past me on quad bikes.
Man, I wish I had a quad bike, that would totally make me cool infront of chicks.

Tis a bit of a wobbly line
Where do they stop? Should all films showing drinking be made 18 as well?

That's the problem: arbitrary judgements imposed, so other people have to abide by others' moral standards. No good, because no two people will ever have the same moral standards.

I also thought a more sensible policy for smoking indoors would be to either a) leave it up to the landlord's discretion, or b) have a special licence so some pubs could still have allowed smoking.

I quite like how they demonstrate the point by showing a picture of a man smoking.
A man who looks unbelievably dapper.

Nah', it would be best to get the latest person who's shagged a footballer once as a role model.

Great idea
it means less kids in the cinema. Shame there wasnt smoking in Terminator Salvation, I wouldnt have had to watch it with a bunch of 12 year olds cocking around.

Vue Cinema
now does 'over 18' showings for all films, even Disney ones, so you can go and enjoy a film without 15 year old cunt bags ruining it. I was stuck behind some 12 year old townies shouting "THIS IS SPARTA" every time Wall-E looked at another robot.

Is that Parrs Wood?
That and Stockport are the only 2 that I bother with, and it's a rarity that I bother at all.

I heard the same
I was going to go with AA last Saturday but the warm weather made the pub a better option.

Apparently we made a wise choice.

It was ok
Not as good as T1 + T2 (obviously), but better than T3.

I'm in no hurry to see it again. ever.
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 16:55, Reply)

T3
I thought it was better than T2, but not as good as T1.

( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 16:57, Reply)

Yup

Don't get me wrong T2 is amazing, but there was just something about T3 which I prefered.
