That is my worst nightmare! A pipe smoked by a Bond villain with a flat cap and a heavy Yorkshire accent who feeds his enemies to pit full full of ferrets! You could just see it in the Yorkshire version of Goldfinger with Bond about to be cut in half by a bacon butty slicer as opposed to the laser
"You expect me to talk Goldfinger?"
"Nay lad. I expects you ta die while I cut up tis plug for my golden pipe".

I was just getting ready to write up my "WTT for" ad for the forum buy/sell thread. Am I too late?
