    Carrington Event

    Some of us here might have heard of the Carrington event of 1859 which played havoc with the electric telegraph. And the warning was that such an event again would cause major disaster on earth as we are now so dependent on electrical devices. The aurora last weekend was at level 5 (out of 5)...

    B & M

    After being on this site for a reasonable amount of time. Today it just dawned on me what B&M means. Bricks and Mortar. All this time I've been thinking it was an American tobacco selling version of this shop we have in the UK

    Curry Half and Half

    Just seen a chef on telly say that Curry half and half is a Welsh thing, but the Welsh don't realise that the dish is unique to them. As a Welshman and a fan of Chicken curry half and half (half chips, half rice), I have to admit that I thought it was consumed everywhere. So I just want to ask...

    Topsy Turvy Pipe

    Saw this in an antique shop today. Do you smoke it with the bowl the right way round and the stem upside down. Or with the stem the right way round and the bowl upside down? The former I'm guessing. But you would look silly. Oh, and I'm pretty sure there was a pipe smoker in the shop. An...

    Aurora Borealis

    A first for me. Northern lights. Interesting view of my rotary clothes line with sock holder. To the naked eye, I can't see anything but black and stars. But the camera has picked it up. My nephew a few miles away also caught it.

    Formula 1 2024

    We seem to have a page for this every year, so I thought I would start a page for this year. Season opener in Bahrain this weekend. I suspect it will go much the same as last year, but you never know.

    Teapots

    As an fan of loose leaf tea, I have a small number of teapots. But the design of the traditional teapot is very poor in my opinion. So here is a list of some features that would be on my ideal teapot. A teapot that doesn't seem to exist. - A large opening at the top. Big enough to get your...

    RIP Ian Lavender. Private Pike

    Sad to hear of the passing of one of the last cast members of the epic British comedy, Dad's Army. The catch phrases "you stupid boy" and "don't tell him Pike" will be associated with him forever.

    Different Occasions - Which Pipe?

    What styles tend to suit different situations? For instance I'm guessing you are not likely to take a churchwarden lunting. A churchwarden is more of a sit down and read a book sort of pipe. Mowing the lawn or fishing seems to be cob territory. What other situations are there where a bent...

    Quite a surprise, I have just over 500 posts. I'm not quite sure what I bring to this forum in those 500 posts, but it is a joy to be here. And you are all very nice people. Live long, and prosper.

    New Zealand Ban Overturned

    This is what the BBC says. "New Zealand's new government has announced it will scrap the nation's world-leading smoking ban to help fund tax cuts." This is an interesting development.

    Kind People

    I have been on this site a little while now. In that time I have seen the amazing generosity and kindness of its members. I would like to publicly thank Ashdigger for giving my (non smoking) hobby the most terrific boost. Thanks Tim. You are a star.

    Chinese Fountain Pens

    I love fountain pens. However I am somewhat restricted to the Chinese variety (because they are cheaper). That being said they are improving in leaps and bounds. Apart from older Jinhao X750s. I currently have a pretty Jinhao X159 and the smaller Jinhao 82. Both are good although the X159...

    Ringtones

    I have been trying to find a good ringtone. What sounds good when you choose it can become less good when it goes off at an awkward moment when surrounded by people. Such as today in a shop when I was trying to pay for stuff. For a long while I have had: Mundian To Bach Ke by Punjabi MC...

    Molle Pouch

    Bought this secondhand for £3 Just not sure what to put in it. I have a smaller one already for sailing tools. Jet lighter, knife, electrical tape and spanners. Just not sure what to put in this one. Only headache tablets and sunglasses so far. My Gideons new testament was too big...

    Three Men Go To Ireland

    I think many of you might like this. It's a two parter. Both parts are on YouTube. There is a pipe scene (not smoking as they don't smoke) in episode 2 which I will put below. Go from 7 minutes in to see the interesting village shop.

    Falcon Bantam Bowls

    I can't seem to find photos online of Falcon bantam bowls ATTACHED to a pipe. I just wanted to see how much smaller they were. The best I have found so far is a stem with a bowl next to it.
