I've been trying to quit smoking, and pretty much failing, but today I'm not smoking again. I've not had one yet, and I am going to not have one again.

It's over.

Yesterday I was at the servo, getting fuel, and I went into pay and in my desperation, asked the guy behind the counter if he had a spare ciggie, if he smoked. He said he smoked, but he is Muslim, and today he is 'fastening', so no smoking, no food, 'no tasting'. He was a good looking guy, maybe a little too much in the way of a mono-brow, but handsome, and he just came right out and told me all about the fastening.

I said thanks for telling me, and he gave me a look of some surprise, but I meant it. All I know about Islam is the news and my objection to the hard-line of it AND on it, like PM John Winston's line on it, and the Taliban's line of it.

This was just a guy, with a handsome face and a monobrow, gagging for a ciggie. But doing the fucken RIGHT THING.
