What about people that want a complete ban on smoking? Even if you're doing it in your own house.

I was just thinking of other situations that would never happen - pre-smoking ban in pubs, can you imagine them chucking someone out because they thought that person had too many cigarettes that evening?

Perhaps all women should undergo a sonogram before entering pubs just in case they're pregnant but not showing a bump yet?? That'd show those sneaky drinky bitches.

And a lie detector test to make sure they will have safe sex if they happen to get lucky that night...

Given the beer bellies on some of these gals, I want to know how he knew she was pregnant

Perhaps her bare midriff stretch marks has put a hyphen in her tattoo so it was 'MUM-DAD' or 'LEFT-RIGHT'

little bun in her oven must have been having a Céilidh in there with a few pints of the amber nectar to swim around in. Best springer was when he knocked on the trailer door and said 'I hear that the woman in the next trailer is having sex with your guy'. Subtle stuff and an excellent hair pulling fight followed - the 'on location' episodes were the best. Anyone who says he is a user of the mentally inadequate who have problems enough is anti-semitic

Anyway what harm is a few pints of beer when they are already having a beano with cigs and ganja and curry and crisp sandwiches

Or something like that.
Oh man, I learned my lesson on that one... said something about 'good for maternity wear' to a teenager who was in my client's dress shop & didn't think a thing of it (she had that muffin top thing going on). She came back about an hour later in tears to ask me if I thought SHE was pregnant.
Uh, YEAH.

I laugh, but I still feel bad for how she felt.

I just read an article about a woman who was upset that she was refused service and ejected from a pub. She was drinking beer while 5 months pregnant. She decided to go into the papers with her harrowing story as well.

Is it something about UK people, or the UK news tabloids? I can't figure it out.
You're reading the Daily Mail so what do you expect?

Actually the 13 year old isn't the father apparently several more 'fathers' came (litterally) forward and the DNA says it wasn't the 13 year old

Some Iraqi women blow themselves up - they do it with explosives, British women do it with gassy lager

The British way is innocuous in comparison

Isn't the English language wonderful with it's 'double entendres'. The French don't even have a word for that (George W)
The English language was invented by a bunch of mead swilling saxons and celts who lived in mud huts - so beer, and it's effect on the unborn yobo, has always been a useful tool of social progress and it still is today...
Don't tell me some brawny saxon bird didn't like her bucket every night before climbing under a cow skin with a bloke who had never had a bath in his life

Only the strongest and most determined of foetuses can survive a daily/hourly shower of Carling Export Full Strength - and this has given the British the Darwinistic advantage over other varieties of human
