Completely agree with Dodger. I actually get really worried about where the world is headed when I hear opinions like some of the ones in this thread...
To all those people who think that smoking on tour shoud be banned due to the influence on our younger generations, what is your view on Darren celebrating with a pint of Guinness in the press conference afterwards and talking about the fact that he was going to go on an "all night drinking session"?
Well, by that logic, would it be ok for him to say that smoking is great and that he was going to sit up and smoke all night? That would have played well with the sponsors wouldn't it?
You have to draw lines somewhere in regard to what is and isn't acceptable don't you? Society is currently re-drawing the lines regarding smoking and it's becoming less and less acceptable.
Is sitting up smoking and drinking all night if he so wishes not acceptable?
I thought it would be perfectly legal and he was free to do it if he wanted?
Would not bother me in the slightest if he had said this...not one little bit.It is all becoming less and less acceptable to more and more jumped up little hitlers and there are more and more of those around these days sadly.
