I used to find that the smell of people's clothes after they had been smoking still created a reaction (though I don't know if that was psycho-somatic or not) just as certain aftershaves or perfumes did. Last night I went to a house-warming party and some of the guests were smoking out of the window. This morning my jeans smell. Sad
I do hope you're telling us that they smell of cigarettes...  Roll Eyes

(And then there's kissing a smoker. Haven't done that for a while. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.)

I seem to recall hh doesn't mind that.

Ahem.  Nothing to do with me.  Have a look at reply 3893:

(Sorry to drag (no pun intended) it up, hh - it stuck in my mind because my first boyfriend was a smoker.)

Me, I'm dreadfully smoke-intolerant. I grew up with asthma (it disappeared about ten years ago  Smiley) and my mother smoked - I used to hide her cigarettes in the garden. (Before long she gave up.)

I take it as one of fate's little jokes that every serious relationship I've had has been with a smoker. (With one single exception: my current Lebensteilgefährtin, who has never taken as much as a single puff. This can only bode well.)

Of course I also live in Germany, which has what must surely be the most ridiculous smoking laws in Europe...

Having heard two of my fellow tenement dwellers having had an argument for half an hour, I was relieved to hear that it appeared to have stopped.
Turns out that they've just relocated to the stair well. I imagine that it is for the benefit of those of us who couldn't quite hear them properly before.

The situation you describe would be a key factor in the popularity of the bagpipes as a Scottish instrument...

They moved back to their flat after about half an hour and continued there for a while.
Finally got to sleep.

Pathetic whine, for which I expect no sympathy
Quite clearly have a cold on the way because it feels like someone's sat on my chest this morning.
This is the only relic of asthma that remains - an early warning system for congestion.
The bottom of my left foot is sore and I'm not sure why. I walked 4 miles yesterday but that's not all that unusual.
Finally, having decided once and for all to settle on the kitchen fridge rather than the fridge/freezer, it seems to have stopped working.
I'm going to have to move everything to the other fridge now, while carefully checking for freshness.
It's the little things that add up to a  Angry

Addendum:
It's a blister on the bottom of my foot.
Chest has improved in the last 30 minutes (probably that whole thing about moving from horizontal to vertical shifting fluid around).
Time to cook some sausages for sandwiches later in the week.

Another grump: there's a motorbike that's housed in a garage across the way, and every Sunday there seems to be a need to start it up and leave it running for around 30 minutes, before someone starts to rev it. I find this distinctly disturbing (a low rhythmic throb). Thank goodness they've just driven off.
