Murderer is such a harsh word - I believe the correct legal terminology is "junior doctor" :rolleyes:

Try that telling that at at the roadside whilst trying to extricate mangled bodies from a vehicle with two dead but the drunk driver still alive. OB

I also believe Burk and Hare were emloyed by the medical profession, sometimes prematurely.

Re: smoking and the pub
 

Look, I know we went over this ad nauseam some months ago, but ... freehold landlords are already told a lot of what they can and can't do in their own homes, so your argument on that basis falls very flat indeed.

They are told what size of glasses and measures to serve their customers in, they are told they can't even serve booze without permission from a magistrate (or a local council, I think it now is), they are told when they can open and when they can close, they are told what hours they are allowed to have their staff work, they are told how many people they are allowed to have indoors at any one time, they are told where and how to install fire alarms, firefighting equipment, fire escapes and signage to show the way ...

Do I need to go on?

"They are told what size of glasses and measures to serve their customers in".

Hi, could I have a mammarytastic open minded blonde / brunette who can make a full Ulster fry the morning after without the need to know my name, address or phone number....in a pint glass please?

Re: smoking and the pub
 

probably not but then again doesn't stop everybody else :)

good post. as has also been said ad nauseam, this has been coming for a long, long time so landlords who resemble rabbits in full headlight gazing mode are going to look rather daft.

and, on the bright side, they can always get out of the pub trade and get into the patio heater business - i predict growth in that sector :)

Re: smoking and the pub
 

As it doesn't seem to be affecting private clubs (who can make their own rules on this IIRC) we will still have 8 premises out of 27 who could still allow smoking in the Crib league :(

Re: smoking and the pub
 

On the contrary, it is totally banned everywhere, including private clubs.

Re: smoking and the pub
 

Well that will make our team Captain very happy as she has terrible trouble with smoke everywhere and her heart problem. One local club (known as the "waiting to die club") may well bring the ban in as soon as January.

You could've done, but I'm married now.... ;)

I wonder what the staff and landlords of the 600 rural pubs in Eire are doing now since the ban killed their business off and forced them to close?

Re: smoking and the pub
 

Just my luck!!

Re: smoking and the pub
 

what, not living in rural eire? :)

actually o/b i have relatives in eire who own a bar which, not being in county dublin, counts as rural in my book. this was a dyed in the wool, frequented by farmers, decorated in nicotine gaff. it's doing fine. still frequented by farmers. :)

Re: smoking and the pub
 

The one thing I really hate to see is if you go to a wedding reception etc and there are children and even babies there but people still light up! Go outside for 5 mins it wont hurt you unlike your second hand smoke that is being breathed in by non smokers.

And yes I do smoke :blush:

Re: smoking and the pub
 

i saw worse on sunday. a fella holding a very young baby and trying to light up at the same time. fag and lighter horrible close to the young uns face. stupid, stupid man.
