Also, the probable reason why your own health has never fully recovered is that you continue to slurp that German beer. Drinking is bad for health and bad for society. By comparison smoking is a harmless activity.

More bs! Smoking is a harmless activity, let's see if he says that when he has to have heart surgery, or radiological treatment in China, grow up!!!!

And german beer, you gave it away, I know it is you now. Actually, being a northerner, I prefer a honest to goodness pint of bitter. But as it is expensive and scarce in China I make do. Besides drinking some Becks (and nowt wrong with that me essex boy!) last year, haven't had german beer in donkeys, to use your vernacular.

But then I thought you were living in the queers town? I knew you would miss China, lol.
