Perhaps. But those who don't pay the colossal tax for the fags who have their health damaged by smoke, such as children, passive smokers etc, is the tax from fags enough to cover their smoke-related healthcare aswell? Probably not. At the end of the day healthcare for smokers and even non-smokers is a complete waste because smoking doesn't really achieve anything (awaits a response about drinking not achieving anything). I think the cost of healthcare because of smoking is far greater than the tax that comes from fags. Though I have no evidence to support this.

Alex is so c**p. I mean can you really see him managing a team? Claire needs to be in the final. She can manage. She can sell. She can pitch. Other person should be Lucinda or Lee, depending on what Alan wants for his business.

Seriously though, being individual in an interview, yes. But saying that? :rofl:

Big Brother 9 > General Discussion
It's doubtful. Both house-next-door 'twists' have been utter $h!te. Though largely down to c**p housemates, but also the inability of the twist going to plan is just cringeworthy viewing.

I've always been in favour of the permit idea - but only if the money charged for them goes back into the NHS. Which, is actually nothing compared to what the NHS would spent on you if you were admitted for smoking-related problems. It also stops those who don't smoke but buy cigarettes for underage kids getting the cigarettes, because obviously those who don't smoke won't waste their money on a permit. Anyways, I think removing the open display isn't viable. Children are more influenced by the adults and the peers in their life, not because they see cigarettes in shops - why not just ban smoking in public completely and restrict it to private homes? It's good to see measures to cut down on smoking, though some of which have little reasoning and this is another idea which is pointless. Bring on the permits I say :smoke:

The way Lucinda was treated by Lee was just so bad. She could have had more self-confidence and sold better, but Lee really did push her to one side.

Schools' summer break under threat
I think it should be shortened compeltely and use the weeks to even out holidays across the year. At GCSE in particular you don't even get a week's 'half term' break because you're so busy doing coursework - its ridiculous. I remember starting back at year 11 and having to fill stuff in and the girl I was sitting next to, took about half an hour to get used to writing again, because she 'forgot how to write' :lol:

Predict: Andy Abraham - Even If
I think it will scrape the top 40. Which is quite generous, considering how $h!t the song (and he) is.

Is this as c**p as it looks?: another $h!te programme which ITV bums to death, like that 'Primeval' *shudders*
