Perpetua ... please ban me if you wish, BUT how can any sane person be that interested in watching anyone baking a bl**dy cake? I don't like cake anyway! Is there any hope for the human race, or are we going the same way as the Dinosaurs? and keeping our eye 'off the ball'... humanoids 'wiped out' by a jam sponge whilst being destroyed by barbarians hiding in the oven.

Well, I'm shocked at some the posts on here. How can anyone over the age of 15 watch this rubbish. Even the trailers make me switch channel immediately. Nearly as bad as Big Brother, which I've never watched for more than 2mins, and where the clips make me want to kick the screen in. The only time I used to watch XF was just a quick look to see what Cheryl 'whatserlastname' wasn't wearing. Nicole just doesn't do it for me. Apologies to the fans, Greg , Perpetua , jtc , thebishman ... just thought I'd 'stir the pot' on a sultry Bank Holiday evening.  Ha ha Raffles i didnt say i watch it? I just said how much i like my future wife that is the beautiful nicole  Car crash tv is normally the number one bicker me n mrs have at home. She loves all the reality programs. Where as i like documentaries so im learning new things etc. The two don't compute... unless you have a 'death wish'... and she is not watching this thread |

I was the guy that Charles Atlas used to kick sand in the face. Also, at school, we had a PE teacher that was a complete bully, and just loved to humiliate us, so I used to dread swimming lessons. It was on a holiday to Spain back in the early 80s, when I had the scare of my life, when an evil little girl pushed my youngest lad into the deep end of the pool, and was rescued by a friend's son who we were travelling with. Where was I? ... in the bar, having left him in the paddling pool. Talk about guilt, so on return, both sons were taken to the local baths for lessons and soon were able to swim like fish. I can probably do a width, but with a body like mine you will never catch me in a pair of trunks! |

Two years no smoking and one year alcobol free. Brilliant tsoko  How easy was the alcohol bit, and do you have any tips? |

Amazing collection... I have only one question... WHY  It's nearly as bad as my obsession with empty whisky bottles... although they are full when I first get them  Why not raffles. Nice to keep things colour coordinated. The younger generation... wasn't like it in my day... you can have any colour, as long as it's BLACK! |

You are probably right Perpetua . Although I'm still mystified why there aren't more teams. Probably because most 'professional' soccer players wouldn't dirty their socks, or get out of bed without a damn big payday waiting for them One reason I have time for Andy Murray, although he comes across as a miserable bugger sometimes, he doesn't need the money but you can see the pride in him, whether it's the Olympics or the Davis Cup. |

I can only imagine what has to go on, behind the scenes, in a forum as popular as this, and the tensions that will arise over various decisions. It has been quiet for several months now, so it was 'law of averages' that something would crop up sooner or later. So, I too would like to thank Jess (Jen) for all she has done for us, and ask her not to cut all links... let the dust settle, water under the bridge, yesterday's fish and chip paper... and any other quote you can think of, and 'when ready' come back here as I'm sure she'll miss us as much as we will miss her. And Chrissie , Perpetua , Karma , snow considering you all do it for free... you're all mad... but we're so grateful. |

Last week I took delivery of a Coolfire IV Plus with iSub G, having seen a certain Scottish lady on here giving it full marks. Now don't get me wrong, I love it, having now got used to sucking on a drain pipe (never had a wide bore drip tip before) and the vapour is terrific. But I know I'm doing something wrong, as I'm getting, not so much leaks, but more like condensation between the two bottom rings and having to wipe it every 5mins. I'm assuming the 'O' rings supplied are not required initially, and are merely spares, although gaawd knows where they go. Any advice for a 4 year old novice much appreciated. |

tsoko ... I've got an original MVP (firing button flew off, never to be seen again) but was working at the time, plus a Vision Spinner (died), both well over a year old, probably two or three years (can't remember), but yours if any use. I've even got some eGo 650s from when I first started, if I can find them. Just PM your address and I'll post next week. Question to self... why have I still got these?... probably answers why my home is a tip!

Just had a quick look on the app, does not carry much on vaping ie some liquids and coils so far. ... within the last week I have ordered a couple of istick pico kits and a dripbox 160 at not much more (and the case of the dripbox 160 less) than fasttech are looking. Plus you get next day delivery rather than waiting 3 - 4 weeks (even if they have it in stock). Ordered a Coolfire IV Plus late on Sunday night (after I said I didn't need vaping anymore!) and chose the 'free shipping' option (I'm not a Prime customer) plus a cheapskate... their estimated delivery was Thurs-Sat, which was fine. Got an email this morning to say it was 'out for delivery' and by 6pm it was in my hands. |
