Can this be? A post from mike that actually contains sarcasm? I think I need a ciggie to get over the shock.

Does anyone know where you can get those smoking monkeys from these days? I need a birthday gift for my little nephew in the UK and that would be great.

When I looked at the title of this thread, I presumed that was what he was asking about, quite disappointed to read the posts that interpreted it otherwise.

I think "the weed" is old people's speak for cigarettes.

using the phrase "going for a fag" isn't really a good thing to say in North America

A mate of mine had one, but unfortunately he lost the fez, so ended up just throwing the whole thing out. A pity, it would have been ideal for your nephew, if he already had a small fez.

indeed

an old fart like myself still uses the old fashioned term

(it took me a while to get used the term 'gay' but I will leave that for another thread)

I'd tried giving up several times before but it's amazing how much willpower a positive pregnancy test will give you!
Exactly the same for me! Went from 20+ a day to nothing - didn't even have time for 'just one last one' after that little blue line appeared

I quit cigarettes cold turkey 13 years ago and can't stand the smell of them. I smoked for over 30 years and now have friends who are pulling oxygen bottles around. When one complained about how hard it was to drag his tanks through the snow I suggested he put them in a backpack and pretend he was Neil Armstrong.

I smoked a pipe for a bit when I was in uni because Bertrand Russell did. It wasn't a hit with the girls so I quit both the pipe and analytic philosophy.
