@Alan, you of all people have helped me appreciated my pipes, many of which were purchased from you, or reconditiioed to perfection by your hand. Right now I am smoking the 'Charaten Supreme' (remember that one?) Bulldog/Rhodesian (WTF) with guess what? - Fecking BBF !! LOL. I try my damnedest not to scorch the rim of its beautiful bowl! You and Michelle are welcome in our house anytime. Scotland vs Ireland??
@sfsteves - You are too kind! The only frustration I have with PM forums is the time difference you refer to!!
@Pruss, you are a gentleman and a pipe scholar. Whenever I smoke Esoterica's Stonehaven I will think of you and the first such sample of that wonderful flake you sent me!! Canada is just a part of Scotland !! LOL
Last verse, or the last I shall recite here:
"If I were the marrying kind, which thank the Lord I'm not, Sir,
The kind of man that I would wed would be -
A rugby ref!
oooooh!
He'd blow hard,
I'd blow hard,
We'd blow hard together,
We'd be alright in the middle of the night
Blowing hard together!"
OK, FLAKY - YOU'RE BANNED !! - LAWRENCE
