Smoke on the 63 bus (Lounged)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

The line I've found most successful with annoying kids is to put on my 'look ill' face and murmur that I have a rotten hangover and would they mind turning it down. Worked so far!

[falcao]

Don't try to justify the drivers having to have a fag because of being stressed. That's just a smokescreen.

Aaah, Fr Ted, now there a smoker...

[SeanMacGabhann]

there WAS a smoker unfortuntately - RIP Dermot Morgan (ooh - same initials as Dulwich Mum)

[capt_birdseye]

What did you lot do in the days when it was permitted to smoke upstairs on the bus?!

I'm showing my age here I think.

[Brendan]

Or in pubs and restaurants for that matter?

[Cassius]

As the amount of smoke I encounter goes down, so does my tolerance for it. Even though I don't smoke I used to like the smell of cigarette smoke in the pub - it was part of going out and part of the atmosphere. Now I find standing next to someone who reeks of smoke unpleasant.

[NNEWTON]

yeh i have noticed the smoke also and its not just one driver.. i'm pleased other people have noticed it. i've kept meaning to make note of the bus registration number because years ago when i complained about a bus drivers attitude to me this was the main thing they asked me for.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Oh to smoke on the underground and in cinemas again.

[Sue]

Of course Dermot Morgsn died but as long as I have a DVD collection and the power in my thumbs to operate a remote control then Fr Ted will always exist.

[spadetownboy]

[Ants]

The Speed 3 episode of Father Ted is on tonight! Every other episode seems to be repeated constantly except this one. Thank you E4.

Point taken.

I wonder if the smoking bus driver likes Fr Ted?

[Keef]

Speed 3 was my favourite episode, especially when Ted and the Bishop come up with a plan and drive along on the back of a lorry next to the milk float giving Dougal a blessing.

Back on topic, I also enjoyed Cigarettes and Alcohol and Rollerblading

[HonaloochieB]

It also starred Pat Mustard, who smoked and looked as though he took the bus to work at the dairy.

Smoking in a place of work is illegal. In what sense is the unacceptability of this offence not total.

Report the driver and get him sacked.

[snorky]

Why is everyone getting worked up about this ?

Snorky, you naughty naughty man
