Seems fair enough to me. Don't just talk the talk. I wasn't planning on applying for a job there anyway.

If I've ever been asked the question in interview, I've said "no". Having not smoked for three weeks I say "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

Thank you. That feels so much better. :wink:

I caught one of the female personal trainers at my gym hiding behind a wall in the car park having a fag a while back. I now shout and throw things at her.
How the f**k can she train someone to be fit while she's coughing black s**t up all day long ?

HHHmmmnn, think I've just read about some German guy who's firm offer a bonus for 'fit, healthy non-smoking workers' The guy ticks the 'of course I am a non-smoker' box each month - but fellow workers sent an investigator round to spy on him, the investigators took photos of him having a ciggy in his back yard and now he's been sacked.

I'm always slightly bemused between the paradox of smoking and drinking. One is ostracized and the other is socially acceptable. As the former used to be. How long before the latter is ostracized as well?

I can't be arsed to do any research on the seperate subjects as I'd rather lose myself in Emily. 8)

Easy Jo, you're fine. :wink:
