Smoking: a case of swings, roundabouts (and Woodbines)
I am delighted to read that the Scottish smoking ban is to be extended to play parks in Glasgow. Why should children be allowed to smoke, when the rest of us are not?

I'm looking forward to the first game at Parkhead following the introduction of the ban. Having witnessed the regular site of many smokers telling stewards 'where to go' when they point out the already clear 'no smoking' signs, I shall be interested to see what line the stewards now take.
I am a smoker, but I always respect the 'no smoking' sign, but that'll be because I'm from Morningside. I am jealous of their devil may care attitudes.

Having been away for a few days and now catching up it was good to have a laugh - why indeed?
