I am rolling my own now. Packet of 20 costs you about AU$8.00 and when I bought packets it was about $40.00/week habit. Switched to buying rolling tobacco save me $25.00/week. Now that I have been rolling my own I can't stand the taste of factory cigarettes anymore - they taste like are full of chemicals compared to rolling tobacco.

Crap that is about 4.8 Euros per pack ... and me thinking that ours is expensice with prices at about 2.75-3 Euros

BTW what's the minum wage there in Australia

Not sure, I guess it would be around 24Kpa minimum. Average wage is much much higher than minimum, probably up near 80K I think. Tobacco is heavily taxed here though.

Ours is about 4500€ per year which is about 7490 Australian Dollars a year, so altough both countries have Tobacco heavily taxed, it weighs a little more in our pocket

Well, I quoted this because... Because I could have written it :D And I hate rolling machines. With my own bare hands, I can roll them just as tight as I like :pipe:

At last someone replied to me.

What was the discussion about that I can't remember ... oh, I got it, it was about natioal minimum wages and the weight of Tobacco on Budget.

Well nothing has changed regarding that, so I still say that tobacco is literally speaking a disgusting and expensive habit

An informal invitation

Greetings

Representing a small but determined group of individuals concerned about the present state and future of CWF, I have come here in the hope of convincing some of the more provincial members to join the international festivity, particularly in the ever popular Symposium and Council Chambers.
Previously our gaze detected back on OG the "Guybrush"-entity in MAU and the "cielo"-entity in The Senate, which led me to speculate that there might be resources to prospect in here... Perhaps there may even be members in here, who would describe themselves as "philosophical souls", who could potentially be valueable assets to the Symposium, which is so desperately in need of attention.
If so, step forward - or continue wandering the ethereal voids of the Internet in despair.


Yours faithfully
Zandrav Ibistenn

I think you could actually mention Kualle too. If anyone has a sinister point of view he might very well be the one...

Sounds delightfully promising. I shall eagerly await this Kualle.

I have to say I am suprised to see such a sinister person in a bar...

I mean after all would you really want the white noise to infect other places?

Subversive activities are condoned.

Hey! You're following me! That's not very noble. But of course you never attributed such a trait to yourself, which is always nice (keep the door to the dark side open - wide open).

I'm not looking for noisemakers, I'm searching for rough diamonds.

Now you're calling dusty Tuborg beers rough diamonds?

I knew you would succumb to the temptation sooner or later :twisted: :P :twisted: :D

Well Bottoms Up ZI :Cheers: :morebeer: :shots: :TGIF: :beersong: :Givemebeer: :morebeer: :Clap: :cool:

You can have what ever you want! just serve your self. Its only expensive if we actually have to move our lazy bodies to serve you :-).

And here we have the before-mentioned Kualle. (Who for some reason refuses to get even an avatar on this page...)

Well if we can have anything we need I want an energizer drink, like Schnapps or something really strong to wake up.

I'm sleep walking

Hmm... A philosofical soul, perhaps, but out of training in speaking english - for sure :-).
So now I got two options, don't I, I can say, that im not good enough in the noble art of expressing my self in english to make my thoughts come alive, or I can take it as a double-challenge. I need to make my things be so simple, I can express them, and I need to become better at english. :-).

Well.. Show me the door, but I'll promise you, I wont let my self into the darkside again. It has caused to many troubles in my mind, and the truth is, the truth isnt really there, I've checked ;-).

Splendid... :twisted:

You know the entrance to the Symposium, but these threads here need attention:
Problem of identification.
Animal rights.
Free will/determinism.
and my personal favourite: Brain of tomorrow.
And the only way to be better at English is by writing and speaking it. Consider it an opportunity. And hey, English isn't my first language either. :wink:

I don't think we're talking about the same dark sides here. Consult the Society of Sinister Minds thread - evil is, in some interpretations, first and foremost the will to improve yourself. :wink: :twisted:

Har! Har!
You just be careful about your illusory beverages in the future. Strychnine produces such nasty effects, illusory or otherwise. :twisted:
