discreet Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Good! I used the one in my local during the riots, as all the local shops were closed. £7.50 for SIXTEEN tiny fags which were dry and crumbly and tasted like they'd been in the machine for ten years. Which they probably had. No loss! PS: Don't do drugs, kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 IMO the only place you [b]should[/b] be able to buy them is in pubs for at £7.50 for sixteen tiny fags which are dry and crumbly and taste like they've been in the machine for ten years.

Soliloquy Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I really used to hate getting back from a gig stinking of stale cigarette smoke. Then the following morning unpacking my gear to find that too stank of stale cigarette smoke. It's soooooo nice now it's banned in pubs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And think of the environmental benefits of not running the washing machine just for smoky clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the band... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
