bad for me

Just occasionally I smoke, and I do mean occasionally seeing as its pretty revolting really I don’t see how anyone can make it a habit, I tend to smoke Hamlet Cigars and if I’m feeling a little more fancy I’ll have a Bolivar.
Coupled with a glass of Pimms and Lemonade I find it quite relaxing.

Alternative careers

With the postal strike looking increasingly likely I have begun to wonder what I will do during the industrial action, I’ve compared my options.
