Marseille airport.

Anyone at a till who looks at you blankly when you arrive.

Had an amazing "customer service experience" at a (newly refurbished) shoe shop in Leamington this week: she avoided eye contact constantly. Chose some things to try on, tried them on, had some questions but instead put them back then walked out-not once did she look up from whatever task she was focussed on at the counter!

You're following a show on TV and everyone on social media says what's going to happen next and you think "they're not going to do that as it's far too obvious" and it turns out that's exactly what they do!

Marseille airport.

I raise you CDG ! No logic to the terminals , don’t take luggage - some terminals have little food of any nourishment

Bill increases - mobile firms - so virgin just announced going forward broadband will increase by RPI + 3.9% per year
Do that for 10 years and their bills get 45% dearer in real terms

What is wrong with increasing by inflation, or even more so where tech gets ever cheaper less than inflation

When we started with them our bill was about £45, this year it’s £75 a month. Called them up and told them we wanted to cancel as it was taking the piss, they offered us a package for £45 again if we accepted an O2 SIM card. Random but accepted

Tbf It wasn’t too bad as we got there early and got a seat. However, had we not it would’ve been shite! Surprised how basic it was, given how big Marseille is.
I’ve Not been to CDG but it sounds like a theme…

The best French airports are the ones that are prepared for Skiers like Grenoble - I don’t count Geneva French side in this as it’s signage is absolutely rubbish - it’s squashed into a tiny area and shit !

We got the same deal, we'd come out of our contract and they upped us to £160 a month, we booked city fibre and got a stick and told them we were leaving, they then offered my wife everything for £45 as long as we had an O2 SIM for £25, my lad needed a sim so we accepted.

They offered us the package for £42 and the SIM for £5, which compared to the theft of £75 seemed good.

I'll stick with NHS.UK thanks.
You keep peddling your ill informed nonsense.
Just please don't try and convince current smokers that vaping is just as bad as smoking.
You may be responsible for their death from cancer.

Vapes and smoking are both for thick people anyway.

Russell Brand ........ hope he gets all that is coming his way. Couldn't happen to a more horrible human being.

No we both think it's dumb as fuck

Well, I used to smoke…was lucky enough to be able to give up. Am I now not thick?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I think I have put it before but these fucking self appointed auditors, just wasting people’s time and wasting police time with their I know the law attitude, I hope somebody shoots down their 249g drones.

My neighbour frequently walks through our village in his karate outfit with his black belt on. I don’t even know if he’s off to a lesson but for some reason it fecking annoys me!!! I’d love to get out there and start throwing some haymakers at him but the wife wants a peaceful life.

Probably a deterrent - wants people to think he shouldn’t be messed with, when he may not have even had a single karate lesson in his life.

Yes. Congratulations

The addiction of top flight players to not shooting at goal. Double annoyance when the arsing around triggers a counter attack for the opposition.

Baggage collection at Heathrow, absolutely fucking pathetic every single time. Utterly useless cunts.

Like that bell curve meme, cc4l has stumbled into the truth TBF

Smoking is dumb: Young men who smoke have lower IQs, study finds

A new study has determined that young men who smoke are likely to have lower IQs than their nonsmoking peers.

Accidentally freezing my beer

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

That's not a source.
What chemistry?
What compounds?
At what level is formaldehyde bad for a person?

This reads like a piss poor rehash of something someone has posted on social media.
Your post said "you might as well smoke".
I disagree, as does the NHS.
Convince me please.

To answer your specific question, one answer is the workplace exposure limit, above which you must not allow anyone to be exposed (while at work). This value for formaldehyde is 2 parts per million. That said, this also takes into account dilution in room atmospheres, etc., not drawing it directly into your lungs, so i suspect the harmful level in the respiratory tract is considerably lower than 2ppm.

Further to this, the article cited by @Brighton Sky Blue includes the sentence "We show that, within the tested e-cigarette brands, thermal decomposition of flavoring compounds dominates formation of aldehydes during vaping, producing levels that exceed occupational safety standards."
If your employer would be prosecuted for exposing you to such levels, why on earth would you choose to inhale it directly into your lungs?

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Please provide evidence that vapers "may as well just smoke".

Soundbiites and anecdotes are all very Tory (have you had enough of experts?)

Evidence please that people who vape "may as well just smoke".

This is descending into debate by opinion.

As for formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde: general information

www.gov.uk

Uh! Formaldehyde! isn't a reasoned argument against vaping.

Facts please.

It's a fucking category 1 carcinogen, FFS - there are decades of research into how much harm it can cause in the human body!

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Still miles ahead of Birmingham and East Midlands, the latter is like going back 20 years in time.

That's Leicestershire for you!

This is tedious beyond belief.

I repeat. Where is the evidence that...

The shit that those things put into your lungs is so bad you may as well just smoke.

In one corner we have two qualified scientists.

In the other is JAM See copy pasting the NHS website and ignoring peer reviewed evidence.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

To be fair, I see @JAM See asking for proof that vaping is as bad (or worse) than smoking.

You've clearly presented evidence that vaping is bad for you....and hes not arguing that fact...

Hes asking for peer reviewed evidence that vaping is as bad as smoking?

In saying ‘May as well smoke’ I’m saying that as someone who does neither, they’re both going to make my health worse and not trivially. It is also worth noting that long term epidemiology on vaping doesn’t exist yet as it is fairly recent so most of what we have comes from chemical and biological analysis of what happens when you vape.

I did also post a paper that shows similar DNA damage resulting from both. That literally does what he’s asking.

Thank you for distilling my ramblings into one coherent post.

Can I join the jimmyhillsfanclub fan club?

pretty much every study I’ve seen through the media says vaping isn’t as bad. You don’t inhale that stuff do you?

I have smoked and I can’t see the attraction of vaping

Government guidelines are also on drinking totally ridiculous

Read the papers and go into the technical details. My point was I wouldn't want the contents of either in my lungs.

Being patronised on the subject by someone who doesn't know what formaldehyde is and just cites the NHS information page is funnily enough a 'thing that annoys me'.

Classic 'whataboutery' , straight from the conspiracy theory playbook.

The discussion isn't about formaldehyde, it's about the fact that you stated...

Please provide evidence.
