    Re-lighting Advice

    Not a problem I've experienced. Very rarely do I need to relight these days and the only time I even consider removing an ash from the top is if I want to top up the pipe... ...I can hear the cries of horror; let me explain... I often smoke when I am going out to the store to buy something; if...

    Bumper Cars

    At my last company one of the guy's who worked for me had PhD in mathematics from Cambridge. Whilst he was there his office was next door to Prof. Stephen Hawkings office. Apparently the professor whizzed around in his wheel chair like he was in an F1 Grand Prix with people diving into any...

    Great Photos Thread

    Came across this photo on the 'net; it was taken in a gold mine in Auraria, GA. The mines and town were abandoned at the start of California Gold Rush This lot seem a bit too well dressed to be miners but plenty of pipes present.

    Weird Food

    That all looks pretty normal to me; other than Python and Bear I've had everything on that list and some of it is definitely standard table fare depending on where you are in the world when eating!

    Greetings from the East Coast of Attica, Greece

    G'Day and welcome from Brazil; I spent quite a lot of time working in Athens (amongst many other far flung parts of the globe) between 2002-2012.

    Desert Island Tobacco

    Samarra although if I'm allowed to use the tardis to get the supplies then I'd prefer original Balkan Sobranie; but of course, if I can use the tardis why would I be stuck on a desert island ?

    EBay Shenanigans

    When I moved to Brazil I continued to use my eBay account for a couple of months; then eBay suddenly decided that I couldn't be legitimate because no one moves from Australia to Brazil and they locked my account. After days of trying to speak to a human and in the meantime sending all the...

    Zippo Maintenance

    I trimmed the wick on of my zippos once 4 years ago... ...not bothered since. Occasional q-tip and alcohol to clean them up a bit.

    NAAFI Pipe Tobacco

    When did the NAAFI stop stocking these? My dad was in the RAF from 1936 until 1966 and although I assume he would have had NAAFI issued rations during WWII I only ever remember him smoking Players cigarettes when I was a wee lad (he smoked pretty much all his adult life and switched blends a...

    Driving While Intoxicated

    In the UK I used to work on the theory that 1 beer without food or 2 with a meal would be OK in terms of being within the limits (probably a bit conservative really) but after I moved to Australia which in many (all?) states has random breath testing I decided 0 beers was the safest option...

    English Blends

    I guess one question is how many pipes a day does the OP smoke and are they all the same blend? I started with English blends and typical smoke 4 or 5 pipes a day but they are usually different blends and will include English, Oriental and other styles; even the odd aromatic. I typically have...

    Pie In My Face

    Dad's home made Rhubarb pie was always a Sunday highlight when Rhubarb was in season. Actually, he used to make two at a time because only Dad and I could eat one which had very little sugar in it; the rest of the family had the other one which we found far to sweet. Perhaps I should explain...

    Gas Prices: What Are You Paying? Does it Change Your Driving Habits?

    Fuel used to be subsidised in the past but the trend was to move to global price equalisation and subsidies stopped around 2004. Gov't is now looking at re-introducing subsidies (they were re-introduced as a short term measure in 2018 for a few months in response to a national truckers strike)...

    Gas Prices: What Are You Paying? Does it Change Your Driving Habits?

    I still get updates from a fuel price app for NSW (was very useful when I lived there). Today at what used to be my local BP servo E10 is AU$2.09 per litre so... US Gallon is 3,79 litres (Imperial/UK Gallon is 4,55 litres) that's 7,92 AU$ per US Gallon or 5.67 US $ per Gallon In Brazil...
