I don't get all keyboard warrior very often but that's a proper 
thing to say. I know it's only words on a screen but you have made me incredibly f
king angry. Edited by OpulentBob on Wednesday 7th December 23:08

Stood behind this fat female chav at my local grocery shop and she says this
'I don't know why the NHS complains about smokers costing them millions when we pay so much to them from buying cigarettes'
and I bet they'd be the same type who hover around A&E entrances smoking, still attached to an IV.'I don't know why the NHS complains about smokers costing them millions when we pay so much to them from buying cigarettes'

Personally I'd like to turn the fire hose on them but it would knly be more taxpayers money wasted treating them for the effects of same.

Wow, my son was an ivf baby and i can assure you we are not council. We don't want kids, but I'm convinced that our desire not to have them means a single occurrence of unprotected shagging would lead to quintuplets.
Whilst friends desperate for kids can't get pregnant despite being at it like rabbits.

Waiting in the car for the other OH, fat bloke in adidas and slazenger tacksuit driving a '96 Astra estate, opens his door and slams it REALLY hard, opens the rear door, starts screaming and bashing the windows for the kids to get out, and his wife/gf quickly gets out and so do the kids in pure fear.
He pushes the kid, who must be no more than 4yrs old using the rear of his head, while the clearly council but helpless wife carries the baby all the way to the shop.
I genuinely felt sorry for the wife and kids. What a!!
The other other half? How many do you have!?He pushes the kid, who must be no more than 4yrs old using the rear of his head, while the clearly council but helpless wife carries the baby all the way to the shop.

!!Sounds council to me
I had a flatmate at uni who was studying medicine. She always used to complain about smokers on her hospital placements.
"There's this guy on my ward...he only has 6 months to live and he's smoking!"
"Yeah, well he might as well. It's not like he'll regret it 20 years from now."
Or
"Smokers are so selfish, using up hospital beds to die."
"What, do you think that they would never die if they didn't smoke? They're pretty likely to use it at some point, so why does it matter?"
I used to tell her it's a brilliant thing for people who don't smoke. Smokers pay more tax and they're likely to die younger so they won't have so long drawing a state pension, bus pass, winter heating allowance and so on. She'd argue that their treatment for lung cancer would cost the NHS, but so would the illness that killed them instead.

When I go to my hospital appointment I have to walk thru smokers outside the front where there are no smoking signs, it is pretty disgusting really and very council."There's this guy on my ward...he only has 6 months to live and he's smoking!"
"Yeah, well he might as well. It's not like he'll regret it 20 years from now."

This is pretty much the basis of a sketch from Yes Prime Minister from 30 some years ago."There's this guy on my ward...he only has 6 months to live and he's smoking!"
"Yeah, well he might as well. It's not like he'll regret it 20 years from now."

its a good thing that people smoke: you get the tax from fag purchase and yes it costs the NHS, but ultimately they die young: on balance it works for the treasury.
Certainly in my profession, if you smoke, its damn obvious you will be having an early death and ending your latter years being extremely infirm and incapable.
Cue "I knew a bloke who was 101 and still fell running whilst smoking 100 cigs a day" stories.
I don't understand how the poor afford to smoke though, with a packet costing £10 these days. Oh yes I do: chuffing tax credits and generous DLA payments.
