That's the most diplomatic way of saying shit in:shit out I've ever seen.

I think it's probably down to percentages again. I've probably seen hundreds, if not thousands, of male drummers but would only rave about a handful, whereas I've probably not seen more than 30 female drummers. If you were to pick 30 male drummers at random I doubt you would get one at the top of their game.

Imagine We call it Lionel's in Drummonds because of the owners uncanny resemblance to Lionel Richie.

I've probably met the same percentage of shite male drummers compared to female drummers, I've probably met the same percentage of decent drummers from both genders. There isn't enough female drummers to make generalisations really.

You're displaying all the intelligence I'd expect from an omnivorous, non-smoking, bass playing mammal. Are you sentient?

Even if it was a photo of a giraffe non e' una giraffa.

I tried that last week. Off for a look now. You may hear some distant laughter if you're at home Simon.

Oooh, what's that in your avatar?

As I said, there is evidence to correlate smoking with asthma (although that doesn't account for the ever increasing rates of asthma) but that doesn't show it as a direct cause and effect relationship. You can't just say smokers children have a higher incidence of asthma therefore smoking is what causes it, there may be other effects (e.g. genetics/social and environmental background etc) which haven't been investigated properly yet. But, to answer your more emotive point: No, I wouldn't be happy to keep a baby in a smoke filled room because statistically speaking it MAY harm the baby and I don't see smoking as something that can't wait until the baby isn't in the room anymore.

Yea, little bit of a party within a party cos Simona has just got a job.

I couldn't imagine hog in a leopard skin thong.....

I was pointing out that the phrase "direct consequence" was perhaps a bit extreme considering the medical profession is a bit sketchy on the whole thing themselves. Would "trigger" be a better word than "cause"? Ask a doctor.

Or we could have a "blatant sales pitch" section and stick it in there.

Why are the number of children with asthma rising while the number of people smoking is falling? Doesn't seem like a particularly "direct consequence" to me.

So did the other thread.

Starting a bit late aren't you? Be careful though, one tequila too many and your hours of preparation will be undone.

You said to contact them for the publisher as well. Not that I'm bothered, you sour-faced old bag (your words, not mine).
