Phoenix Darling,
I have stayed at Raffles. It was on a journey to Australia and we got three nights for the incredible price of about a night. After that it would have gone to the normal, to us, unaffiordable price.
I was given a certificate, in front of me now.
Raffles Hotel, Singapore.
Let it be known that has been our greaatest pleasure to have xxx(me)xxx as our guest.
I have a book given to me about the history of Rafflles and I have the menu from an evening meal. I have it here now.
Bill of Fare
Clear Soup Windsor
Dover Sole St George
Ye Sire Loin of Olde England
Hertfordshire Prime
Yorkshire Pudding
Cornwall Caulifouers, Butter Sauce
Baked Lincolnshire Potatoes
Deveonshire Strawberries with Cream
Demittasse
I also have a photo of us at the table but I can't find it. It won'tbe lost. My house is full of things I won;t throw out.
Old hat to you I suppose. But an incredible experience for me.

Adults don't start smoking. Children start smoking and carry on into adulthood. I know no adult who started smoking as an adult. We all started as teenagers.
There is always one
and now you know one 
During my teens i tried it and thought yuck! Couldnt figure out why people smoked!
I was about 22 when i started having the odd fag off my mates when i was working afternoons and took the car into town. Couldnt drink so took the odd one. Woke up in the morning and my fingers stank of smoke!!
Did that for almost 2 years! Maybe having 4 or 5 on the saturday nights that i had the car. Then on that fatefull night shift when i got really bored about 3 in the morning, i thought, I know i'll have a fag! (packet left in my jacket pocket from a saturday night).
Smoked ever since
Packed in for 6 months many years back. Since then its been the odd couple of days, up to a few weeks!
Any more late starters?
Jess Darling,
That is really interesting. Truly you are the first that I have heard of as starting as an adult.. But you did try it as a teenager. So maybe you can still be classed as a teen-starter. I don't know. But the benefits of giving up are immense. I would so like to find a way of stopping people starting. Stopping people starting.. Ok, my words might not be so good but you get my meaning, yes?

I am doing a module in Psych & Health and have picked the topic of smoking to complete my assignment on. I chose this subject as I am a smoker and as I am doing some background research, I would welcome and value your opinions from yourselves on the following questions:-
1. What age did you start smoking? About 13
2. Why did you start smoking? It seemed the "in" thing to do.
3. What are the main reasons you smoke now? (e.g. additive, sociable, habitual?) I don't smoke now
4. If you have quit smoking successfully, what worked for you? I never gave up. My last cigarette was 21 Nov 1980. I just put off having the next one. You know, I'll have one after lunch. Then I'll have one after tea. Then I'll have one at bed-time. Then I'll have one on the morning. I gave up just by putting off having the next one.
5. If you have tried to quit smoking and was unsuccessful, what factors inhbited your success? N/A
6. If you are still smoking, and would like to quit, what do you think would help you stop?
There is not a proper answer to this for me. Because I have stopped. But there is a comment I have made before and would like to make again. Adults don't start smoking. Children start smoking and carry on into adulthood. I know no adult who started smoking as an adult. We all started as teenagers.
If you would prefer, feel free to reply to me in pm. All replies will be treat in the strictist of confidence and any replies received will not be passed on to any one else.
Thanks

I like to use what I think of as the proper names. Maybe abbreviated sometimes. Like to Vag. I don't like "tits" but I don't mind "boobs" but I do prefer "breasts."
When we were children we called a penis a "teapot". I can't remember what we called a vag but it was nowhere near as nice as teapot. Actually, as I type I can remember what we called it and I'm so embarrassed by the memory I'm not going to tell anybody.

Kiss,
But. I mean it - But. 26 years ago shopkeepers around here didn't need shutters on their windows. Now they do.
Mollie
Its not kids with the shutters its grown men smash and grab, organised thievery.
Yes, I take your point. And I agree with it to some extent. Another anecdote. But it's true. A shopkeeper I was on speaking terms with - I don't even know his name - spoke to me outside his shop with a broken window. "Did you lose much stock?" He said that nothing had been stolen.
Just smash the window, no grab, and run away. Now that isn't grown men. It's young people. Probably drunk. My anecdotes about this sort of thing are endless.

Kiss,
No not a simplistic comment. I haven't looked up the reference but Goethe made a similar comment. And I can't remember for sure but I think Socrates made a comment just like it. You are in good company.

WiinchWench Darling,
The problem is that is a threat you can't carry out. This thread has raised thoughts in my head. I have fear on the streets now. I try not to go out when the schools finish.
I would like to see corporal punishment (and the death penalty) come back. That child put it to me very accurately when she said "You can't fucking touch me". Now if somebody in authority could touch her maybe she wouldn't have been in my garden. For fear of the consequences.
I'm a saddo who watches daytime TV. On the old Kilroy show they discussed something like this. A young man had been birched in the Isle of Man for an act of violence which he admitted. Did the flogging affect his behaviour? "No," he said. It had no effect on him. But the opportunity was lost to ask an important question to which his answer might have been different. "Would you again act violently in the Isle of Man?" If the consequence had been another birching, maybe his violence would have been curbed, yes?
Oh, birching has been outlawed in the Isle of Man. I wonder if violent crime has increased since then. I don't know how to find out.

I knew this was going to be a bad day.
I've waited for ages and it hasn't got any better.,
The only thing so far is that Calvin Klein is just as much an idiot as me. Why does he have his name in his underwear? If he needs to remember his name why not buy a cheap biro and put it in the palm of his hand? Then, when he's remembered it, he can wash it off.
Hang on. Do I know anybody who actually wears underwear? I've just looked at mine ad I'm horrified to find that I haven't got any.
There was somtehing else I wanted to say. Shit, I can't remember what it was.
No, I can remember. I've spent ages trying to download something called "I don't give a damn". Well I've tried for ages, and you know what? I don't give a damn any more.
Do I sound confused? You want to try it from my end.

Well it's a car, yes?
Now how can somebody explain this to me., My last canal cruise was the Panama Canal. Now the Panama Canal connects the Atlantic in the East to the Pacific in the West. So if you start from the Atlantic end (In the East remember) why do you travel from West to East?
I'm going to have to say that again. Why is the Eastern end of the canal further West than the Western end.
Oh no, I need that dark room again.
But it's true. To go from East to West you have to travel East. Oh go and look it up.
