The health fascists may have stamped out smoking in pubs, but here's
a glimmer of light in the darkness. Tasty...

    ...now if they could just find a way of removing the lager...

    ...looks like they've made a start with the head!

    Wonderful news. Now I can stop throwing cigarette butts into my beer.

    How about alcohol in tablet form?... though I presume it's been done. I wonder what kind of high it'd be- a pure alcohol hit.

    What about alcohol you can smoke? Full circle to a future of liquid-free pubs...

    I don't care if a pub is smokefree or not, Nige. I just need a place to hide away from all those arguments about the banality of evil.

    I can see it clearly now, Nige: a pub of elegant tables on which are bunsen burners over which are hookahs connected to contented beings smoking the heated alcohol. Obviously the clientele would be a discerning bunch. This could be the big one...after we get Cosby Show- The Musical out of the way.

    Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that - have you heard from Lenny Henry's agent yet? He's a fool if he says no, especially after being exposed as the BBC's Comic Relief conman, cheating the nation's trusting kiddies out of their hard-earned pocket money...

    I didn't think you could be aming so high as to get Lenny H on board. Though doubtless the idea warrants someone of such artistic stature.

    OK let's see what Gary (Diff'rent Strokes) Coleman's up to....

    I thought of him but I've a feeling he might be dead...Just checked Wikipedia...good news especially for Coleman which is that he's not dead. Some highlights:
    "...his famous catchphrase was "what'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" (Fucking great catchphrase)
    After the cancellation of Diff'rent Strokes, his acting career declined sharply.

    So we could probably get him cheap.

    Kenny Lynch? The Sammy Davis Jr of the Tarby rat pack...

    dear oh dear, that's very un-PC of you to point out the jewish connection, nige.

    sha-la-la-la-lee, oy!

    Afraid Kenny Lynch a new one by me. A shoe polished Bruce Forsyth should surely play Bill Cosby.
