    The traditional christmas cook

    Now that looks tasty. We have had an Indian style approach to xmas ingredients such as pork madras turkey korma etc . The real revelation was sprout bhajis, we pigged out on them as a starter and had to leave the main meal for a few hours :cheers:

    stopped smoking

    I hit the E cigs back in Dec 2011. On my second model now, it's very.much like brewing :doh: Experimenting with Glycerol/Glycol ratios, trying different flavours etc. Many friends using as well and none of us tempted by the analogue fags ........

    Worst book you ever read (or tried to)

    electronic cigarettes

    I have been using a Titan Tank 510 for 15 months and much prefer it to real cigs. Also found myself preferring the sweet flavours over tobacco. Getting into mixing my own. It is much cheaper to buy the high nicotine juice and then water it down to an appropriate strength using glycol and...

    Best Live Band You Have Seen

    I think he does under normal circumstances, but not usually on the fair days pay ones, must admit I was hoping he would and that the 70 + folk in my garden would all be singing along with it at the top of their voices :mrgreen: Wasn't to be, but he did provide a live recording of the gig which...

    Police call off search.

    A few years ago there were rumours of a big cat about 2 miles from my house :shock: One evening I was having a ciggy in the back street and thinking that if it was true then my house would be in easy range. At the precise moment of that thought a local feral moggie let out a noisy screech...
