Very wise.
It'll be the death of me. :oops:
My older brother and my mother smoked. I was the youngest in our family. One day when I was 10 or 12 years old my father and I made jokes that I should never smoke and my father suddenly says: I pay you 1000 DM when you don`t smoke until you are 18 years old.
The joke became a bet between us and what should I say: I really don`t smoke and I got the money from my father. It was much money!
I never began with smoking. I dislike the taste of cigarettes. Kissing a smoker is like kissing a cold ashtray.... Sorry but that`s what is is for me.:(

That's fine.
What a lot of money!
wifey wasn't a smoker when we married, but she is now! Her responsibility, I never encouraged it, but it was no surprise when she started (when i was in England for three months and she missed the smell of it! ) I'm sorry she started but at least smokers are okay kissing ash trays.
Mind you a fair few girls seem to have quite enjoyed kissing ash trays.:D

Good idea!!! Let's blame the French!!!
(...we don't have any French Forum members, do we??? :oops:)
Can we not blame the French until I get home please? They have a somewhat militant reputation. I would rather they didn't all go on strike and block the roads tractors [emoji23]

There don't appear to be any cigarettes in it? :confused:
We used to have adverts on tv for Hamlet cigars that were funny. The cigar didn't feature until right at the end when the man in the ad would be given a cigar after whatever mishappening, light up and then the punch line "happiness is a cigar called Hamlet"

Yup, pretty much constant competitions, sometimes two or three happening at the same time.
And they have auctions, but those are expensive, particularly the postage.
I think I've won five competitions this year. :D
Here is the prize for the latest one, some nice pyrite ammonites.

There's other fossils included too, but I don't know what.
I love surprises. :<3:
You've just answered my question, thanks!

Good morning everyone, overcast here today.
I am having lunch with some friends today so looking forward to a good natter.
Have a good day and I'll not see you later.

G’day All

Saturday = longer kayaking trip...so up early, boat on the truck, things packed, time for some coffee, then hit the road to Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Here’s the area (Prospect Bay) where we will be paddling....so everyone have “fun” or relax or garden or teach or sing away.... ciao.
