    Chinese Fountain Pens

    I love fountain pens. However I am somewhat restricted to the Chinese variety (because they are cheaper). That being said they are improving in leaps and bounds. Apart from older Jinhao X750s. I currently have a pretty Jinhao X159 and the smaller Jinhao 82. Both are good although the X159...

    Are You Country or City?

    Country and coast for me. Visiting a city (incl driving in it and parking) usually requires a couple of Kalms tablets.

    Ringtones

    I have been trying to find a good ringtone. What sounds good when you choose it can become less good when it goes off at an awkward moment when surrounded by people. Such as today in a shop when I was trying to pay for stuff. For a long while I have had: Mundian To Bach Ke by Punjabi MC...

    Rice

    I'm am not an expert. I eat basmati rice. Boil it until its cooked. Often I then make fried rice. Or I would make chicken curry. Best thing I have learned recently is that you have to wash the rice before starting. Wash it a lot. And don't over cook it. And drain it as soon as its...

    The Difference Bertween Cats and Dogs

    I am not a dog fan. They poo, pee, puke, require walking, get fleas, hump your leg, they require feeding, vet, they drag their butt's on the floor, destroy shoes, and make noise. Then they die and upset everybody. Cats are a little better but still suffer with much of the above. They also...

    Correction. I do have a radio in the car with a Bob Marley CD.

    Vinyl Set Up

    I don't have records. I did have some cassettes and CDs. But even they have gone.

    Molle Pouch

    It could become my new fountain pen case. But probably not.

    Molle Pouch

    Bought this secondhand for £3 Just not sure what to put in it. I have a smaller one already for sailing tools. Jet lighter, knife, electrical tape and spanners. Just not sure what to put in this one. Only headache tablets and sunglasses so far. My Gideons new testament was too big...

    Question to Our Mustachioed Members

    Not far off my set up. Though I don't have any straights. Or the jug.

    Three Men Go To Ireland

    I think many of you might like this. It's a two parter. Both parts are on YouTube. There is a pipe scene (not smoking as they don't smoke) in episode 2 which I will put below. Go from 7 minutes in to see the interesting village shop.

    Stem Length

    Thank you for your responses. It appears that the distance from bowl to mouth of a short stem pipe or a chutchwarden is so short not to make a difference. Variations in perceived temperature are more likely down to pace of smoking and other variables. Good stuff 🧐

    I Would Like To Apologize To Chinese Members.

    I love Chinese food. Its my favourite food I think. Or at least the type that is cooked in the UK. Apparently different countries cook it slightly differently. My brother in law went to China for a work visit. He loves Chinese here, but was much less enamoured with Chinese food in China...
