    Orlik Vintage, Anyone?

    No flies on you, Fred Thursday! It is what it says on the tin. 🙄

    Orlik Vintage, Anyone?

    Not really, apart from the fact they're both made in Denmark and come in a round tin. Other than that, chalk and cheese.

    Sacre Bleu: French Baker Makes Croissants Sans Butter.

    What does a 'soccer mum' mean exactly? Serious question!

    Sacre Bleu: French Baker Makes Croissants Sans Butter.

    Hardly, I live in a skip Jay. Not quite true but fair to say 'I'm in the gutter but looking up at the stars!' Asda's the other side of town for me, whilst Marks's is only a 2 minute walk. I find more bargains in Marks's than anywhere else! Get there around elevenses and they start putting the...

    Sacre Bleu: French Baker Makes Croissants Sans Butter.

    Luckily for me, I buy my buttered croissants from Marks & Spencer. Yet another reason not to move to France.🙂

    Coatings on Chinese Pipes

    Better the devil you know. English & Irish pipes for me. All the Chinese pipes can stay in china, as far as I’m concerned. Welcome to the forum!👍

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    No rest for the wicked! Bank Holiday Monday here in Blighty……& it’s sunny!😎 At the moment it’s Honeydew In the Yuletide Jap. If this sunshine persists however, I shall be forced to take my pipes & sit in the shade of the pubs beer garden & drink cider until I fall off my chair!👍

    Orlik Vintage, Anyone?

    Look again at the tin & you'll see printed 'Aged Golden Sliced' under Vintage.

    Gurgles . . . . .

    Is your pipe broken in? I've had a couple of bent pipes that gurgled up until the chamber was nicely caked up. You could be what is known as a 'wet smoker'. Don't worry about it if you are, it's a common affliction. Best remedy is a 'birds nest' in the chamber. Dri-Kule pipe filters, to give...

    R.I.P. Bernard Hill.

    RIP Yosser... Sad news, his acting spoke for itself but in recent years I really enjoyed his narration on various documentaries.

    Comoys - Transplant a C drilled Stem Logo

    How many have you done? I've never seen a replacement that 'cuts the mustard' as they say. If it's as simple a job as you say, I'm surprised I haven't seen any. Please post photos of yours! 👍

    Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.... Psychedelic?

    Ogden’s made Walnut plug & flake & also a Rich Brown Flake but they never did a Nut Brown. That was Adkin’s.

    Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.... Psychedelic?

    Not surprised you’ve never heard of them. One of the most underrated & overlooked bands of the 60’s. Surprised you’re into Donovan though, I had you down as more of a Barry Manilow / Michael Bolton kinda guy. As to T-shirts, there used to be excellent ‘retro’ St. Bruno ones about. I had two of...

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Nice pipes!👍 The only thing I don’t like about Huybrecht is the name. Always reminded me of that Steve Martin character.

    Any Guesses as to What this Mystery Object Might Be?

    Why not? You misbehaved & if you got caught, you'd get a slap. Simple & in most cases, an effective deterrent. Don't get me wrong, I didn't go to the same school as condor, where they crucified new boy's against the wall! Lol At my school it was a rap across the knuckles or a slipper on the...
