Northern Ireland went smoke free this weekend, which is a blessed day I’ve been waiting for every day since I got here. It’s hard to go from smoke free drinking holes back to ye olden emphysemic ways. Of course the regular hard core smokers have been kicking up a fuss, but it doesn’t seem to be nearly as big a deal as when Canada or the Republic of Ireland went over. Of course that’s probably because the Republic of Ireland went over. I think Wales went at the same time as us, and Scotland a few weeks ago with England still to go.

Also, James sent me the new Spinal Tap video. I haven’t actually watched it yet, but if history has told us anything it’s that Tap are great.
