    Sacre Bleu: French Baker Makes Croissants Sans Butter.

    Luckily for me, I buy my buttered croissants from Marks & Spencer. Yet another reason not to move to France.🙂

    Coatings on Chinese Pipes

    Better the devil you know. English & Irish pipes for me. All the Chinese pipes can stay in china, as far as I’m concerned. Welcome to the forum!👍

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    No rest for the wicked! Bank Holiday Monday here in Blighty……& it’s sunny!😎 At the moment it’s Honeydew In the Yuletide Jap. If this sunshine persists however, I shall be forced to take my pipes & sit in the shade of the pubs beer garden & drink cider until I fall off my chair!👍

    Orlik Vintage, Anyone?

    Look again at the tin & you'll see printed 'Aged Golden Sliced' under Vintage.

    Gurgles . . . . .

    Is your pipe broken in? I've had a couple of bent pipes that gurgled up until the chamber was nicely caked up. You could be what is known as a 'wet smoker'. Don't worry about it if you are, it's a common affliction. Best remedy is a 'birds nest' in the chamber. Dri-Kule pipe filters, to give...

    R.I.P. Bernard Hill.

    RIP Yosser... Sad news, his acting spoke for itself but in recent years I really enjoyed his narration on various documentaries.

    Comoys - Transplant a C drilled Stem Logo

    How many have you done? I've never seen a replacement that 'cuts the mustard' as they say. If it's as simple a job as you say, I'm surprised I haven't seen any. Please post photos of yours! 👍

    Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.... Psychedelic?

    Ogden’s made Walnut plug & flake & also a Rich Brown Flake but they never did a Nut Brown. That was Adkin’s.

    Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.... Psychedelic?

    Not surprised you’ve never heard of them. One of the most underrated & overlooked bands of the 60’s. Surprised you’re into Donovan though, I had you down as more of a Barry Manilow / Michael Bolton kinda guy. As to T-shirts, there used to be excellent ‘retro’ St. Bruno ones about. I had two of...

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Nice pipes!👍 The only thing I don’t like about Huybrecht is the name. Always reminded me of that Steve Martin character.

    Any Guesses as to What this Mystery Object Might Be?

    Why not? You misbehaved & if you got caught, you'd get a slap. Simple & in most cases, an effective deterrent. Don't get me wrong, I didn't go to the same school as condor, where they crucified new boy's against the wall! Lol At my school it was a rap across the knuckles or a slipper on the...

    Any Guesses as to What this Mystery Object Might Be?

    Rugby on a frozen muddy field in February, getting twatted by the ball on the inner thigh, dead legs, school dinners, cold showers & corporal punishment. Golden days indeed. They were hard days, brutal days & they were the best of days! Kids today don’t know they’re born. Thanks to our...
