Got it! Been trying to figure out why you're so het up about this - finally sussed it. You hate Mel Smith, and want him to get mouth cancer!

Why??? What's he ever done to you? What has he done to earn this hatred you feel towards him?

He's not a secret EFT practitioner, is he?

And I would agree. "Waving a white stick" would not convince me either, actors tend to be a bit better than that. Its not the "prop" they should be worried about but the performance - any actors want to back me up here ?

Sorry, not an actor, however went to the Fringe at the weekend, and saw
"The Butler Did It!?" by the Afternoon Delight Theatre Company...(Pretty good take off of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple era stuff) there was an actor supposedly smoking a pipe - he was just acting it, but it didn't impinge on the play or the plot at all..

I would much rather have actors acting the smoking, and be able to concentrate on their acting, and on the plot, without the distracting smell of tobacco..

Cheers
