  1. this is an old article (1998) - but it basically says that smoking costs the NHS £1.4-£1.7 billion a year, yet the revenue raised from taxing cigarettes is £8.7 billion a year. This was over 10 years ago when cigarettes where half the price they are now. So basically smokers more than pay for there own health care!! I smoke, and I agree its a bad habit and I would love to quit and probably will soon - but this article does floor any arguments you have put forward! ;)

    But what percentage of the £8.7 billion actually gets allocated to the NHS....... :dry:

  2. I put the OS4 software on my 3GS yesterday and my other half did hers last night.

     

    Seems good and that will tide me over from WANTING the the new version.

    Cool is it vastly different? quicker? noticeable? I did'nt knwo they had released it yet?

     

    I noticed an improved 'quickness' in the 15mins i was using it.......

     

    Pick up my iPhone 4 later today, the end of my current 18 month contract is today... think it's a sign :lol:

  3. Had this argument with my friend, I said to her that she theoretically costs us more in taxes due to nhs medical bills to cure people with illnesses caused from smoking, she turned round and said, smokers dont live as long as non smokers, so theoretically you cost the nhs more complaining about your back and old age and hip replacement than me who will sit quietly in my coffin happily looking like a cuban cigar... :scare: I was erm speechless :blush::lol:

     

    Smokers usually don't die quietly tho' ......... oxygen tanks and drugs a plenty to pre-long their life don't come cheap..... :dry:

  4. Human rights act needs to go, its a joke and works in favour of the criminals

     

    Human rights should only come into effect for those who act like humans, fluffy cotton wool justice system needs a serious overhaul......!!

     

    Really looking forward to the 20% VAT next year too.......... :dry:

  7. how many pound notes did that cost if you dont mind me asking.

     

    Im abit of a traditionalist with bodywork, i think id rather get a car painted and pay the extra, but only because they paint the door shuts etc.

     

    Where as the idea of wrapping is great and fantastic being reversable is its big USP. But the though of opening the door and seeing a totally different colour, now that would bug the life out of me, only really works when a black car is wrapped white, black door shuts dont look so bad then.

     

    Door shuts can be wrapped too bud....... :thumbs:

     

    My car was originally silver so you don't really notice when you open the door tbh, there's not a whole lot of body work on the inside anyway. Imagine it would be a different story if the cars orginal and new colour were a total contrast tho'.
