Aaaaargh...its so annoying. R and I look like we are going to hit a brick wall with our dream home. The vendor says he can't shift the tenant and that he's going to sue them etc...Months of fiddle-arsing is coming to nothing. Fivers have been wantonly cast upon the open flames and it wasn't even a rock stunt.
Oh well. Just have to chew it over with some new-style Orbit chewing gum in weird cigarette type packets. Perhaps Orbit are gearing up for the new boost in sales that should accompany the smoking ban next year.
Instead of changing the packets they should really be thinking about the flavours. Spearmint doesn't really go with stout or bitter though its probably ok with Vodka and Tonic and the more flavourless lagers. Some possibles:
Biltong
Cheese and Onion
Salt cod
Tobacco.
The last one is a bit problematic - does tobacco without nicotine taste of anything? The sickly burn is the whole point.
A friend reckons it will be smoke free tobacco products that will hit boom time rather than the sweety industry.
I know only one tobacconist, in Otley, that sells chewing tobacco. Will it become a standard behind every bar counter? And snuff of course.
I think I'll google around to check out the Irish experiments.
EDIT: And sure enough here's the first hit so to speak.
