infact it really riles me anytime i see anyone smoking with with or anywhere near kids in any context.

Winds me up a treat. By all means fuck your own health up, but not your children's.

I love it when I bring this up with people at work adn you generally get someone going "well my mum smoked during pregnancy and smoked when I was a kid and it didn't have any effect on me" she coughs, 15th fag of the day in hand.

Best keep kids away from roads too, been shown to increase the risk of asthma you know!  Time to do an Iron Maiden and...

[fatkid2000]

people who stand outside hospitals smoking. particularly people who stand outside baby/childrens hospitals smoking next to big 'no fucking smoking you scutters' signs while pregnant women/newborns/young kids walk in and out.

Especially staff - who's uniform you can see under their coat stood at the entrance of the hospital.

[chappers]

i live on the same street as the christie hospital, it really really winds me up to see thier staff smoking outside. but not quite as much as one of their patients, in a wheel chair, on a drip...smoking.

[cofe]

fuck it, i've made a complaint.

[SA Chris]

Did you sign off "Annoyed, of Sheffield"?

Minus a leg or two due to their peripheral vascular disease.

Smokers, they're a dying breed

well done.

[fatboySlimfast]

the worst ones are the really drained looking women in dressing gowns stood outside jessops who are not only smoking but have clearly just given birth.

fully noted the last time I was there, palid and looking fully in withdrawl the ones i saw!

On someone elses note, is neil 'grecian' 2000 gresham in? If not he should be for the bollox he espoused associated with Alain'what the fuck was he wearin' Robert. I was not in a very good mood having just got back from Barrow but the lcd tv nearly had a foot through it with some remark about physicality with extreme danger.......Ive seen scaffolders do more difficult things

[SA Chris]

My g/f's comment while he was doing voiceover, before he appeared on screen "who's whiny brit voice is that?"

[Jaspersharpe]

Never mind all that, what the fuck were you lot doing watching it!? 

[dave]

its certainly not easy maintaining balance in a lofty position  when shouting  "awwwrigh darlin, show us your top bollocks" at passing skirt whilst reading the daily star with a kitkat in one hand, and a gallon mug of tea in the other.

One phrase for you "Recall Bias".

Resdearcher So you've been exposed to second hand smoke?  Could you quantify that for us please?

Non-smoker with lung cancer : Well for years I went to really, really smokey pubs, my local was like a pea-souper inside on a Friday night.  I used to come out coughing all the time, so one day I decided to start taking a little gadget of my own devising down with me that could measure the particulate content of the air.  I kept meticulous diaries/records.  But it didn't stop me, I went every week for 93 years, although I did miss a day in July 1943, and another one in December 1984.

My point is that, yes exposure to second hand smoke almost definitely does increase your relative risk of lung cancer and/or heart disease, but the studies that have been done to date are all retrospective and the recall bias in assessing how much each individual who has been interviewed seriously undermines the validity of the statistics that are touted about how much risk there is from second hand smoke.

Hell its hard enough quantifying pack-years in people who do smoke!!!

Further there are other confounders that I hinted at which probably haven't been accounted for.

[grumpycrumpy]

Watching UC earlier this year and was surprised to see an old drinking partner of mine as captain of UCL. I was even more surprised that he was wearing a dress and was calling himself Olivia. If that's not making an effort I don't know what is. She put these t-shirt sporting slobs to shame.
A quick google shows that I wasn't the only one to notice the change

I think you'll find that when I was on UC I wore a natty oxford weave shirt. Does this mean you know two people who have ben team captins on UC Lagers? Thats got to be some kind of a record.

[dave]

You lose 5 points for that spelling.

[lagerstarfish]

at least two... so far

I'll probably be captain when I go on it
