Gone with his wind…

A PUB regular has been barred from his favourite Dunfermline boozer – for indiscriminate wind breaking.

Management at the bar say Stewart Laidlaw “revels” in his bouts of flatulence and other punters have almost been sick after exposure to the foul smells.
…
The James Street pub’s owner says the stench has become unbearable since Scotland’s smoking ban came in last year but suspects drinkers could have been breathing in the waft for years before without noticing it.
…
“Other people have dropped handbags, shall we say. But when everybody’s choking and I come out with the spray and say don’t do it again, they will appreciate that and stop it.”
…
“He will clear the pub out usually and he thinks it is very funny.”
…
“You can’t just have one guy sitting there farting his day away and nobody else coming in.”

Dropping handbags? That’s one I haven’t heard. Oh, and that’s the farter himself in the picture. It looks like he’s letting one go as the picture is taken. But it gets worse:

“The smoking ban has raised a lot of issues. Some people are arriving in premises with serious cases of BO and you have to deal with that. “

Thanks, anti-smoking jerks!
