My favourite place isn't the local shithole of an arcade, where the machines are set to 70% (in this day and age!?), and the owner only gives a toss about making profits out of other people unfortunate circumstances / addicitive personalities. If you consider a smoky shithole to be your 'favourite place', you need to think about what you are doing with your life.

My favourite place (my workplace, which is a dispensary in a pharmacy) will no doubt thrive based on increased prescriptions / purchases of nicotine replacement therapies.

Let the good times roll :D


Your favourite place is work?...and living off other people's misfortune?

Christ you are messed up aren't you?

On that basis my favoutie place Ben is "anywhere that you aren't"...lol ;)

Oh...and can anyone else spot the total and utter hyprocrisy in his post? If not I'll be happy to point it out for anyone.

Is this the same pharmacy that caused him so much stress he had to post a sob story at fruit forums about it?

Ah, but in my place we are charging people to help them give up, not sucking them in and relying on their losses, so it's not as clear cut as you might think ;)

Yes we'll get an increase in trade 1st July onwards, but if more people who actually want to give up find the 'excuse' they need to make a serious attempt, and what I dispense helps them achieve that, fine.

I found giving up smoking a piece of piss mind, cold turkey and 2 days later I'd forgotten all about them.

I can't wait for them to tax sex, it will give me a better reason than I have a headache to tell my mrs.. And I like the idea of them spying on me to tax me.. If they taxed based on an orgasm, I would never get taxed anyway - as I don't believe women really have them... I've never had sex with a woman who has had one!!! So they must be fake ;)

On the other side the government are taking over everything we do, but at least John Prescott has pneumonia.. Now just Gordon Brown to die of Aids and it's been a good month!!!

How can you be so sure that there will be an increase trade?, for a start since its a no no in public the amount of second hand smoke related ailments will go down.

I wont be giving up that for sure, bollocks to the govenment ill just carry on smoking my tax free rollups, if anything it will be to spite more than anything else.

Cant see why everyone will suddenly give up just cos it isnt allowed in public.

Thanks Alth.. And you are right...I don't ever have sex with a woman... two at a time at least for my superb love making skills.. Sometimes 3 or 4.

No you aren't. You are simply replacing nicotine for nicotine. The habit is the thing that needs to be broken, not a nicotine addiction....and you charge 3 times the amount than a packet of fags. If you are going to stop smoking, just stop.

I found giving up smoking a piece of piss mind, cold turkey and 2 days later I'd forgotten all about them.


Good for you. Some people find different addictions harder to give up than others. I gave up fruities once I decided to. Other people find it harder. How are you doing?

Bang! Listen in all. You try dispensing 300+ items on a Friday afternoon whilst conducting medicines use reviews, supply of emergency hormonal contraception, smoking cessation therapy, supervised methadone consumption along with putting up with the general ignorance of Joe Hypochondriac.
I've just seen that thread over on fruit forums and quite frankly I feel angrier than someone who has just put £40 into a £5 jackpot Red playing Mega Spins *4 numbers and got one board that killed on the first gamble. Yes I'm that angry.
Any job that involves providing such an important service as healthcare with face to face contact with the public is going to be stressful.
I know there is some kind of animal fantasy love random wotsit thingymy going on which seems to have set a few people dead against Ben, however it's not just whinging without substance on his part.


Some serious f*****g immaturity about.

That's the truth by the way. I do actually have an emptier. An emptier. Fancy that. I have an emptier. Pretty amazing huh? An emptier? Me? Yes. Ha ha!

What was this thread about again? Oh yeah. Smoking. Let the buggers smoke for Pete's sake, if you can't smoke in a pub where the blimin' 'eck can you smoke? I went into this one pub, nice little placards saying no smoking at the bar. Shame isn't it? I mean come on, get a grip, maybe ban smoking around babies, but in a pub? Come on. Damn right about taxing sex and that lot, pity about all that immature Pharmacy stuff.

Anyway. Jesus, it really is bed time.

What a pisser! I'll throw my hat into the ring again. In response to earlier posts i don't care what happens to arcades round my way. The majority of them only have lo-tec or S16's mc's in them. You can't wear hats, mobile phones are banned. There's always chav's hanging round sharking you and the m/c's are on crap %'s. Majority are on 70% so they can't go any lower. I stopped going in them a long time ago apart from the odd visit and that's just to get some change usually.
As for the smoking thing, yes i'm glad it's coming in as i'm a non smoker but i do agree with a lot of people that who are the goverment to say where you can and can't do things within reason. Pub's serving food should be smoke free but general pubs shouldn't count.

Jesus christ, I make a couple of drunken posts and suddenly the thread becomes all about me.

Well, the attention is much appreciated.

1) I apologise for posting a bit of crap last night but I'd had a lot to drink.
2) My job is stressful. Believe me, don't believe me, I don't really care, but suffice to say Alth, it involves more than 'giving out lemsip'. I've dispensed more Maxtrex (Methotrexate - Cytotoxic) than I have Lemsip.

I'm off out now but if you want to continue wasting forum space on me, go right ahead. Just realise that you don't always know what you are talking about.

PS Now that I'm not drunk I'd like to say that I actually wouldn't like to see all arcades closing because of a smoking ban, but the arcade in Spalding is a right shithole and the owner and staff do nothing at all to make your visit 'welcoming', hence why I'd be happy if they closed as a result.

Its never your fault is it? I was drunk etc what about the 1500 other sob stories posted and bollocks posted they drunk too?

Well you answered all our questions there its attention, is the admission of watching Fido and spot also attention seeking?

Is that the 2.5mg methotrexate or the 10mg methotrexate?
Do you wash your hands after you've dispensed it? Apparently you're supposed to because it's so cytotoxic.

Got both, mainly dispense the 2.5 though. Yes I wash my hands after :)

I always wash my hands after too...but it's got nothing to do with dispensing drugs ;)

I work in a stressful job too Ben..dealing with the homeless is very stressful. It'd be nice once in a while to see a post from you having a bit of a laugh though.

Now where's my cider so I can get pissed and post bollocks (99% of my posts) ;)
