Well, it's 05.30 in the UK and reborn has just gone to bed. I'm up and hiccupping, but fully alert after making the mistake of smoking the bottom third of last night's Brown Bogie-charged Dunhill!! lol (sort of).
I see I have a few gents to thank/respond to.
@peterpiper, yes I have heard that old chestnut. But sadly there are some little germs that respond to no known antibiotic.
@warren, if she won't let me have a smoking jacket she definitely would not appreciate a limp-wristed piece of soppy prose, even less that I compose a sonnet to celebrate our love. She would think I've turned queer!! LOL You should know that she is a Rottweiler of a woman! I once bought her a bunch of flowers - she was convinced that this signified I was having an affair!! LOL
@reborn, I'll hear no more on the subject from you! Until, of course, you drag yourself from your pit, circa 17.00! lol
@burlpettibon, sorry, got one already (from Australia). alright for beer, but sadly no use for pipes
So my Crimbo Prezzy from 'her indoors' will be chosen from the following:
1. A bespoke pipe wrap (NOT shoulder bag), made from hand-stitched badger scrota, fashioned by reborn's OH
2. A bespoke 'Posh-as-Peck' pipe stand
3. A bitter aloes-impregnated leather recliner
I'll run these past her later, then run!
