Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Any attempt to give up smoking is doomed, doomed I say, to failure. How many people do you know that have said "I gave up smoking for 3 months, or 2 years or...." put in your own number!
Then lie down, close your eyes and think laterally. It's easier to think laterally if you are on your side.
How long is it since your last fag? 15 minutes, an hour maybe you have just woken after a good 5 hours sleep?
Therefore you now know that you can go 15 minutes, an hour or 5 hours without your atrificial prop.
So, you therefore know you can go 15 minutes, an hour or 5 hours to your next artificial prop - so do it! You have already done it once what's so hard with doing it again?
And when that period of time elapses you know you can go 30 minutes, 2 hours or 10 hours without a fag - so do it! You have already done it once so what's so hard in doing it again?
And when that period of time elapses you know you can go 1 hour, 4 hours or 20 hours without a fag - so do it! You have already done it once so what's so hard in doing it again?
Catch my drift?
So, don't give up smoking, just extend the time between the last one and the next one.
I had my last one 23 years ago so, at the moment, I know I can wait for 23 years for my next, coz I've done it once already!
I haven't given up smoking, just halfway between fags at the moment!
Go on, give it a try, you have nothing to loose but your life!
And think of the money that Gordon won't be able to give to the banks!

Re: Giving up smoking? It cannot be done!
Excellent logic!
Was your last fag the last one in the packet, smoked, say, before going to bed after watching Friday Night Live in February 1986, or have you been carrying a packet with a few left in it, around with you since then?

T'was the night before Xmas and all through the house.....
No, I'm kidding! It was the night before 'No smoking day'. My routine was simple - walk the dogs last thing at night, smoke the last 2 ciggies in the packet en route (we walked about 2 miles) then buy tomorrows supply at the garage on the return.
I decided not to buy them on the return (an impulse non-buy maybe?) but to leave it 'till the morning when I would buy them on the way to work.
In the morning I decided to buy them at work.
At work I decided to buy them at 't' break.
Then lunch time...
Then afternoon t
Then on the way home
Then on the last walk of the day with the dogs
BINGO 24 hours!
I can do 24 hours so I can do 24 hours - leave it 'till tomorrow night
And the rest, as they say, is a lot less coughing!
Funnily enough, I have to keep a packet hidden in the cupboard, they are not really hidden OH knows that they are there, it is really just a prop, not had one since September 10th 2008, and since I gave up, I have had broncitus, and lost my voice 3 times !! although no one here is complaining at that
I gave up and don't even think of a ciggie except when I walk along the road and find my lungs polluted by the smoke from all those who are no longer permitted to smoke indoors.
Check out the contents of cigarettes: you wouldn 't consider going to the pharmacist and buying some cyanide to ingest yet your body absorbs it when you smoke cigarettes. There's the tar: would you pour spoonfuls down your trachea into your lungs? I doubt it. Carbon monoxide: would you willfully subject yourself to it? I doubt that too so, when you think of haing a cigarette think of all these nasty, NASTY chemicals you are willfuly taking into your body.
Think of the children you contaminate even by kissing them or by being in sufficiently close proximity to them for them to inhale any of what you exhale (or the residue reeking from your clothes): distance is not as small as you might think and I think it's for about 30 minutes after you've smoked that chemical filled tube.
Check out the internet for what cigarette smoking does to the unborn child. Unless you are an extremely selfish and indeed cruel person, you won't want any pregnant woman or any child near cigarette smoke.
They should have made it illegal to smoke within a certain (measured according to the researched figures and not those I kinda remember) vicinity of any child. It should be illegal to smoke when pregnant.
As for all other smokers, there are some remote islands uninhabitable because of anthrax contamination: put all chemical pollutants together.
I jest about the "all other smokers" but think about the details of what you are doing and if that doesn't work by putting you right off smoking, to the point of the thought of it making you wretch, you're an addict just as much as any heroin addict or alcoholic.
However, research Gary Craig's EFT. Even my sister stopped after using that method and she was definitely a strongly hooked addict.
After researching cigarette smoking, I couldn't want to put one (the smoking gun,) near me or my family. Instead, I, immediately, decided that I was a nonsmoker. Why, as a non smoker, would I want a cigarette? It worked for me: I didn't try to stop smoking: I didn't try to give up. I suddenly became a nonsmoker and now I don't even think of one far less want one.
I haven't even counted the years but it is YEARS now as my oldest grandchild is approaching 6 and it was before his birth.
Worked for me.
I was smoking when I was pregnant and felt very bad about it. When she came out arrrgh, I was crying, hell, I promise that day that Ill stop it.
Smoking gave me relaxation, and peace of mind. It was a psychological stress reliever. So when I was quitting, I have to wait for my husband to go out and brake something in the house
