Taxy Bracksy sat on the wall
Taxy Bracksy had a great fall
All his faithful ministers and the rest of
the team
Couldn't repair the great leader's
dream
I however, have not been dreaming but in reality have just returned from the Sunshine Coast where for the first time in a very long time I was not subject to being treated like a leper because I smoke.
My husband and I spent a very relaxing week strolling the promenade and having lunch and dinner overlooking the sea at many of the wonderful restaurants provided for the tourists and the locals.
When inside a restaurant provision was made outside or at the bar to enjoy a cigarette with my wine.
I even managed to find a hokey pokey place to have a little fun and once again was able to smoke if I wanted to.
While we have talk back radio hosts adding their sarcastic remarks to both the gambling and smoking habits of Victorians along with the do-gooders wanting more bans put in place we will as I see it have a very great number of people without jobs and that my dear reader is not an illusion.
Update - 15/10/04 Looks like the politically correct people are winning!!! By the way I gave up smoking more than a year ago but I am still on the smoker's side.
Update 25/12/06: I am still on their side. I still don't smoke.
