here is a video about the smoking bars in the centre that I saw recently

He's just done a follow up - looks like normality is returning as @Lemming says...

I went in on Friday night for a bit,
since my usual spot was rammed with people I though I would wait for it to calm down.
I don't normally go to many bars, serving alcohol.
I don't drink anymore.

I had chat with the girl at the bar about the whole smoking ban off/on thing, something about the mayor wanting to change things and a general crackdown on fun. I forget some of it.
I think she preferred it in the "old days"

It was the same girl working there when I went for the first time last year.

It is a bit of a tourist trap now, it has the name and location.

5 euro for a chocomel. :cry:
You pay for the experience I guess.

Sitting in a dark pub, smoking weed, getting paranoid and leaving abruptly.
Just like back in 6th form, without the snakebite.

Music is quite loud for me now. really heavy drum n bass
10 years ago I would have enjoyed it a bit more :roll: (and I used to DJ drum n bass)
shit
I am getting old :shock:

Just imagine, they have to spend all day working with that madness coming out through the sound system.
That would do my head in :lol:
