Pub laugh.
Trigger doesn't like the smoking ban. (I' m not keen myself). He can't get over the fact that I had a hypnotist help me to stop. No one can do that. Did she wave the coin thing in front of your eyes? "You are under my spell".
I treated all his comments with my usual decorum, until an hour later. "I'm nipping out for a fag, you coming Ironsides?"
"No, thanks, I don't smoke Trigger.!
Aaah, those words!
"You mean you ACTUALLY did that hypnothera..thingy? And it worked?"
"Yes, Trigger, it worked. Just as I'd finished laughing at Trigger a bloke I'd rang earlier came in and gave me £90.00. Nice.
Trigger wanted to know why I was smiling, as I'd just sold my last 600 cigs for £30 a sleeve, and the buyer would sell them for more.
"Trigger, I only paid £15 a sleeve. Cheers!"

Was this the real Trigger? Roy Rogers' horse? Or thingy who props the bar up?
Keith, you know who!!
Good on ya mate - really chuffed for you! The food thing is because everything tastes so damn good. It passes.
Cailleach, xx
45 quid profit? Drinks all round? Mine's a red wine please. I'm on my way.
Seriously though, I'm raising a glass to your success.
Wheeler dealer, I never made a profit out of my left over cigs...I smoked them all before going to the hypnowhatsit! Well done John!
Jon m, I got the timing to perfection. An hour before we left . I had the last one in the packet!
Brilliant John!!....big smiles:)
John if you are really Ironsides there has to be a phone call for you - where ever you are. I watched the programme!
Wish I'd thought of a hypnowhatsit when I quit in April. I did it the old fashioned way, cold bloody turkey. Gah!! Still not smoking, though. Yay!!
Glad it's working for you. If it's this easy for you now, it'll be a cinch after few months time.
HC, it's a doddle!
Pat, the shit I get in this pub.....
Babs, well done girl! The hard way, I'm proud of you!!
This sounds the way to do it. By the way I'm rather partial to a glass of bubbly if you're buying!!
Non smoker making a tidy profit...good for you!
When my mum quit, she used the patch - and it was much harder than what you seem to be experiencing. Well done! And good thinking to use the old cigarettes to reward your new-found virtue. Make mine a sangria - it IS summer, after all!
A vitual round to you all! Apart from Keith, who will cost me a fortune as usual!
Great profit!
