    Sounds great! Shame about the smoking ban. I'll be popping out every now and then for a sneaky fag! I wonder if Chameleon managed to quit.

    Yes, 8 weeks yesterday I gave up smoking! :D :j

    I remember me and my mate both smoked and would have at least 20 each during a night shift in the van. Imagine a poor non smoker coming in the next day, and having to drive it.
