    I smoke outdoors; trees make hand pipe knockers

    Bugger.....Covid Finally Got Me.

    Thanks. That's a long wait for the 4th jab. It looks like I am now eligible to get the 4th vaccine dose; I thought it would be later in the year but they've accelerated the roll-out!

    Bugger.....Covid Finally Got Me.

    Jay, I hope you to continue to make a full recovery. I too have had 3 jabs (actually, in São Paulo they are now rolling out a 2nd booster - aka 4th jab...) but without obviously getting COVID (I had very mild common cold like couple of days but didn't test positive!) I have been dealing with...

    Malt Vinegar On French Fries

    Mayonnaise on hot dogs? No way; but then I don't like American style hot dogs anyway (dives for cover); now a proper grilled banger (UK) or snag (Aussie) in a bun with FRENCH mustard - delicious. I've never considered putting Worcester sauce on chips either; it's an essential ingredient in...

    How do I repack an opened loose pipe tobacco?

    +1 ziplok bag But, if you're in the US it might be better to ship to someone who's also in the US. Depending on which country your friend is in customs may take a dim view of tobacco in non-original package (or even in the original packaging) in which case it most likely would be seized and...

    Malt Vinegar On French Fries

    Yup, brought up in England and Salt and Vinegar on chips was the standard. Never liked ketchup on chips - not too keen on curry sauce on them either (considered de rigueur in Birmingham). But then I went to the Netherlands... ...now I pretty much always eat chips with mayonnaise. In my old...

    Hello from New Zealand

    G'Day from São Paulo, Brazil (although I did use to live a little bit closer to your part of the world, Manly, Sydney's Northern Beaches)

    Where Can I Buy EGR or McClellands In Chicago?

    Favored Techniques for Pocket Knife Sharpening?

    I use a whetstone (I think someone referred to them as a bench stone or sharpening stone earlier). My dad used these for his woodworking tools and showed me how to sharpen knife blades and chisels before I was a teenager (guess it meant I was useful for something in the workshop).

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    Stührling are another American company who make watches in China. They make some quite nice looking watches and do get some good reviews. I've seen a few posted in the daily Affordables 'WRUW' (what are you wearing) threads; didn't find any worrying negative comments in WUS but generally...

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    Sorry, no experience at all but I did have a search in WUS and look at their website... Claim to be a US manufacturer with a history going back to 1957; most likely the ownership has changed since then. Shipping and customer service seems to be based in Brooklyn but the watches will almost...

    UK Pipe Smokers....or Lack Thereof

    I smoke outdoors because my wife has health problems which are aggravated by the smoke (she actually likes the smell of most of my tobaccos so no problem smoking if we are out in the open together). So... ...in the centre of a city with 25m people... ...I've seen 3 other pipe smokers: -...

    James J. Fox London Visit

    It's on the list for a visit on my next visit to London too; had planned on being there in June 2020 but for obvious reasons that got canned :confused: On an earlier trip I only had time to pop into their boutique in Selfridges which had very little for pipe smokers although the staff were very...

    Long Covid Almost Killed Me

    I've only just spotted this thread... Good to know you are progressing. I've also had long Covid; I thought my symptons were bad, but they were nothing like you've been going through. I hope and pray that you continue to progress back to full health as quickly as possible.

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    A couple of new arrivals. The watches are made in China by San Martin (in my opinion one of the better Chinese watch makers) but have custom dials. I'm a member of a mob of nutters known as the Brotherhood of the Submariner Homage (hence the BSH logo at the top) and amongst other things (most...

    Body Disposal Errors 101

    There was a case in England not too many years ago where a pig farmer had collapsed (natural courses)... ...the pigs ate him.
