Hi John
I think you would find it a bit difficult to pose in the Locarno with that Electric ciggy you bought and tried to light.
Cheers
Brian.

its bad for you
Hi shipmates, I was waiting for a bus today and a young man came up to me and asked for a light? Without thinking I started to talk to him about the evils of smoking and how bad it is for you, I bet he was sorry he asked me !!! He had no lighter or matches hope he gives it up!!! I lost too many friends who smoked.

Sadly lost a fair few that never smoked:
Sadly lost a fair few that never smoked or drank: Committed to family and died young.
Tough either way really mate and they always take the good ones.
My wifey (nurse) only cares for those in the final stages of cancer and many that never smoked:
She will be home soon and my shoulder is ready for her tears.

Use to smoke 60 a day, always had a fag hanging out of my mouth, then one summers day, I got a real nasty cold,
fags tasted like cows ****, and smelt like a farm yard, I had just bought my 60 for the day, I left a trail just lit fags, from Ashford Kent, to Oxford, what was left, went in the glove box, with lighter, and that's where they stayed, My car was never more than 30yds away, after 6mth I gave the lot to my sis in law, never touch another one since, that was 35yrs ago, never felt better, but put on a load of weight. sorry story but true. take care.
