Thread Name: Should our folk club be non smoking?
Subject: RE: Should our folk club be non smoking?
I know, Breezy. I'm just a little fed up with a few things at the minute. Like, did anybody see Michael Buerk's follow up documentary last weekend on Ethiopia? I cried all the way through it. But 2 days later George DUBBYA announces he's gonna spend BILLIONS of dollars on the space programme, putting man on the moon, colonising Mars etc. when we can't even sort all our crap out down here. We send boys to get shot at without sufficient equipment, doctors to fix them without sufficient medical supplies, and millions of people are starving to death. But the space programme is apparently more important to the greatest nation on earth?

Frankly, I think having a fag at the back of the bloody folk club is an inconsequential issue. I sit in a traffic jam every morning caused by mothers dropping their children at school, burning fossil fuel, choking the atmosphere, when they only live half a mile away. These are the same people who whinge about a puff of smoke in their direction.

Told you I was off on one...
