    Taking My Leave

    It just gets worse! I am sorry to hear about your situation Duane. Everything seems to be going a bit 'pear shaped' at this moment in time. Maybe it is the planets, maybe it is that time of year, whatever it is I wish you well and hope that your health improves with the arrival of spring.

    Yes, I am Alive!

    @woodsroad : You wouldn't believe it but the place is crawling with Germans and kebab shops!

    @Servant King : It is very hard to find things to do on a Sunday in Berlin especially since all the street signs are in German!

    Yes, I am Alive!

    @smudgersmissingleg : Thats a very interesting question. We were handed a card by Rachel and a number of packets of Gawith products. Both @simong and yours truly gave them a good old college try and rated them but I don't recall them having a specific name. One or two of them were pretty good...

    Yes, I am Alive!

    Thank you dear friends. Berlin is certainly an interesting city but I sadly don't see anyone smoking and I think I am the only pipe smoker in the city. The food is most interesting and this place has certainly changed since I was last here back in 1989/90. This afternoon I am going to try and...

    Yes, I am Alive!

    Thank you for all the messages. Contrary to popular belief I have not vanished, got sucked back to the early 1920s due a time slip or generally done a "DB Cooper"!

    Am I Becoming a Real Man?

    A Quick Rant About a Personal Problem.

    Whilst this thread is getting fascinating in a very strange way could you PM me exactly where the hell you are and the train station you wish to get too and I'll see if I can put my secretary on it on Monday!

    No Luck with Hallmark

    @Chasing Embers: It certainly looks like a stain job. I have a few pipes that are that color, what I refer to as a pleasing 'Turd Brown' effect. To color that perfectly that far up the bowl would mean you would have to seal off the bottom half of the bowl with a 'plug' of some kind to produce an...
