Smoking science

I was astonished to find on Mr Furlong’s new annual “birthday” medical review that he was labelled as an “ex-smoker” and that put him in a high risk category. Mr Furlong gave up smoking over thirty yeas ago! When he dies, he will be classified as a “smoker”.

Walking the dog

Walking the dog has been a real pest just lately. The weather has been evil.

Politics – rare good news

Here is a wonderful government announcement recently about  all the fake charities  in the UK that use OUR tax money to lobby the government for legislation AGAINST US. I will not give money to any of the charities that squander it on lobbying in parliament. It’s a totally corrupt arrangement!

The cheese stands alone

Holy crap

I had to phone the bank. It took me over half an hour to get a human being on the other end of the phone. Here’s the trick.

Mars One – ha ha – bonk!

Do you know the sound of a man laughing his head off? It’s “ha ha – BONK!”

A few years ago, I ran a workshop on what life was like at micro gravity. Our bodies do not work properly in such an environment. Over time, we fall apart!

Greed – how the UK benefits from smokers

There is a move to tax vaping and vaping products. If you follow the Furlong blog, you will know that I am a smoker that only vapes. My last actual cigarette was smoked in 2011.
