Smoking in Tavernas

<< < (4/21) > >>

Jimbo:
WINKIE - You're right. This debate is a a stub in the ashtray.


--- Quote ---Jimbo - Point 1 - We were not asked if we minded.
Point 2 - Sanctimonious I am not, and what 'dreaming of fantasy' implies, I have no idea.
As for not liking to be challenged, pot and kettle spring to mind.

--- End quote ---

Point 1 : I assume they weren't at your table.
Point 2 : Read the entire sentence, not just the first clause. It does make a difference.

I wasn't there, so I don't qualify for pot or kettle. You didn't make a request, did you? Are you incapable of a polite request? 

Rod:
It's the the end of the fourth round and Winj is yelling at her trainer Sellsy.  Sellsy's right hand man Rover is pleading with Winj to keep calm.  "We can still win this" he tells Winj.  Jimbo has been "showboating" and it has not gone down too well with Winj's supporters.  Come on!   ;D

Rover:
I have also been called "sanctimonious"' by Jimbo in a previous thread on smoking. He seems to like the reference! The fact is that smoking is not allowed in "enclosed public areas" in Greece. It is not the place of customers to enforce the law, it is the owners who should do this. The distance between tables is of no relevance.

Gillywoo:
The Little Prince used to have 'No Smoking' tables - but they were usually empty.

On a busy night you would see people walk in, spot the sign on the table and hesitate. The sign was then swiftly removed and the people would then sit down  :)

Smoking is part of the Greek psych and I think it will be a long time before they try and enforce no smoking rules again.

Being a smoker (quickly dives under the table), I love Greece as for once I am not huddled outside trying to grab a crafty smoke - although since the ban in this country we rarely go out now and prefer to entertain at home.

I, like Jimbo try to think of others, but sometimes when deep in conversation you may not be aware that your cigarette is annoying someone else. As Jimbo says - all it takes is a polite word!

Jimbo:
Don't be naughty, Rod.

Does "... my husband might have up-ended their table!" count as courteous?
