discreet Posted October 1, 2011 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
wateroftyne Posted October 1, 2011 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. Quote
discreet Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 I take it you're not a smoker then, Mr Bailey? Quote
wateroftyne Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Ha... that would be a fair assumption. Quote

Protium Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 All the pubs round ours still have their vending machines on tonight... Quote

Soliloquy Posted October 2, 2011 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

Especially the band... Quote
