Slow Friday

Not much happening in the office today. Slightly seedy. We won trivia at our local pub so we had to spend the bar tab. That reminds me, I'm so happy that Victoria has finally banned smoking in pubs. It's great. The other night I was waiting in line to get into a bar. Turned out it was just bunch of smokers. And to think I used to breathe all the crap in without realising it. Good times.

Oath. Strange though, it seems more people are smoking nowadays. My flatmate does it now when she drinks. That's how it starts....

Yeah, I have found heaps of people only smoke when they drink.

When I was doing my health stuff out at the BP oil refinery last semester, I was very surprised by the amount of people who had quit smoking, and the little amount who actually smoked. The thing is though, it wasn't a compulsory health program, and the ones who cared about their health more seemed to be the ones who took up the program, the ones who didn't care for their health generally didn't bother getting the check up.

The anti-smoking crowd are the biggest advertisment for smoking ever

I'll chain smoke a whole packet just to escape a bar conversation about how nice it is to be able to go home and not smell all horrible and smokey *rolls eyes*

Actually, thanks to the new laws i've pretty much stopped, so don't listen to me

And its nice to catch some fresh air every so often and have a cigarette

(yes, i see the irony in that statement)

In the Melbourne cold you need to wear your jacket often, but you don't want to wash it everytime you go the pub, surely?

I guess people who smoke, or used to smoke, don't realise at times how hard it is to breathe at some bars etc.

Aussies are pretty good compared to the Europeans. Is it unEuropean not to smoke a pack of smokes in a day?

Think I've only had one anti-smoking conversation in a bar since the new laws.

Usually my "bar being anti smoking conversation" is the next day when I'm seedy as fuck and say to someone, "Hey, I reckon I can wear these jeans again they don't smell of smoke".

See smoking makes grogs change his pants AND masks the smell if he doesn't

Who cares about a bit of lung cancer, really?

Ah, admirable points. But what about alleged impotence?
