    UK Tobacco Ban On The Way

    I've seen people saying things like 'I'm glad this has happened for cigarettes, but pipes and cigars should be exempt!'. I think this misses the key point, which is about freedom of choice (including to smoke cigarettes). Also, without cigarette companies to sell most tobacco crop to, farmers...

    What are You Reading Now?

    My mum leant me a copy of this yesterday. I must admit, I was expecting some sort of detective story or thriller, but it's not that at all (musn't judge a book by its cover!). It's far more about language, the power of myth and sense of place in Wales in the 13th century. It's so good I got...

    If you haven't read it, he wrote a great little memoir of his time in Nicaragua - really interesting. I think it was called 'The Smile of the Jaguar' or something.

    I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.

    I know exactly how you feel, I reluctantly got a smart phone last year (solely because we were going travelling and my girlfriend insisted, probably fairly). I know it's not ideal, but there are an increasing number of 'dumb' options that might suit, although I also resent the necessity of...

    I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.

    You all joke, but who knows what our government will decide to ban next! (While there are no police around anyway to enforce existing laws). I read somewhere that in about half of all police districts in the UK there wasn't a single burglary investigated (maybe it was prosecuted?) all last year.

    I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.

    Crazy situation. I recently tried to open a new joint bank account with my partner, and they refused her. The email said something like 'you can't open an account, we won't tell you why, and we won't change our decision'. Basically, don't bother getting in contact with us because we can't be...

    Helpful Wife!

    I was once bidding on a different auction site for a Persian runner, and it went just higher than I was willing to pay. Turned out my dad bought it...

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Nice little pipe! I think this stamp is mid-40s, but I'm sure others who know more than me will correct me if I'm wrong.

    Edward G in a Roy Tallent Rustique. Tallent were more well-known for their pipe stands, smokers' accessories, and pipes (including Hurricane pipes). This is a funny little pipe that I don't smoke very often.

    2015 Dunhill Durbar (fast-dwindling stock of one of my favourite tobaccos), in a '67 Tanshell cherry root, and I decided to break out one of the rollagases for a change.

    Trionfo Pipe

    Has anyone ever come across the brand Trionfo? Stamping reads Trionfo over Super Radica, other side reads SCORTA 1920. Interesting stinger, horn stem. I love the shape, never come across the brand before, but I think this is a 1920s or 1930s Italian pipe. I bought it from Germany about 5 years ago.

    Pure Prepared Salad Mustard

    I agree with @mawnansmiff and @beefeater33, Colman's is the best and comes from my home city! (Although sadly it's no longer made here: Colman's Mustard factory in Norwich closing after 160 years - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-52772491). We used to have this shop and museum in...
