In fact, don't tell me anything at all, especially as you don't appear to be man enough to provide any identity.

Thank the Lord, or maybe Hon Lik, for vaping. Young people have money for takeaways and clothes, and if necessary can club together to buy cigarettes. All this does is irritate smokers and cause more early deaths. A little baffling.

No one will drink it save for odd balls insisting price doesn't matter and it's worth it.<br /><br />Sales of big plastic buckets and malt extract will be suspiciously high.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-80420222142449257102016-12-20T22:50:03.711+00:002016-12-20T22:50:03.711+00:00No, a bit true.

Nobody cared one whit about when smoker lives got destroyed in a passion of hate. Now, boot the rest of them out, bigots to the curbside, no more beer for them. And that especially includes the bigots at CAMRA. They deserve it and the pubs deserve shuttered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-27189973892953269382016-12-20T18:07:44.027+00:002016-12-20T18:07:44.027+00:00If you smoke and want to limit your consumption yo...If you smoke and want to limit your consumption you might buy a pack of 10 each day. Now having bought 20 you might smoke 12. I think that the idea was to make it more expensive for an underage smoker to afford a packet, ignoring the reality that they could split them. My preferred brand only comes in 20’s but if I had left them at home I would prefer to buy 10 rather than 20 of an alternative. In France I have never seen a pack of 10 but more people smoke.KJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07339137349962768014noreply@blogger.com
