I imagine that a few in the Shadow Cabinet are feeling pleased at their tax cut tonight too.

But, yet again, who suffers most? It's almost as if they're actually saying that anyone who isn't already wealthy or on a very good whack can go swivel.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm in danger of running out of adjectives to describe this lot. I wasn't much impressed with Labour in general (and detested Blair specifically), hated Thatcher etc, but this lot ... Well, their quite obvious sheer nastiness seems to know no bounds. And they're barely even trying to hide it.
Hope you succeed. I have never been tempted to smoke, but my wife smoked up until 6 years ago, she tried many times for 'you' or 'the kids', it wasn't unit she decided it was for 'her' she managed it. Touch wood, she has been 'clean' since.
One thing that regularly makes me smile is when she gets a whiff of a smoker and asks 'did I really smell like that' to which I reply 'worse'

I for one don't care if they are all millionaires, I just want them to pay up without whinging.

Cheers mate!
I had given up previously, for over four years, without problem. But then I had a legacy - totally unexpected - that shifted us out of perpetual working poverty. And I started having nightmares about it all being gone and us being back where we'd started. And that's when is started smoking again.

Let's be honest, regardless of the content of the Budget, there would always have been a 25 page thread on here with the majority of posters whining about it and how the Conservatives are screwing everyone over. somehow.

Cheers mate - seriously appreciated.
I've always sworn I would never do the convert routine and I intend to maintain that.

And to be equally fair, they'd be right.

I don't know how I'm going to cope over the next year after all these disgraceful decisions that that nasty cretin Osbourne has made. He is bringing the country to its knees. ITS KNEES! The Labour chappy would have done a far better job.
