It's a great pity that we've lost him - one of the stalwarts of modern R&R/HM/Psychedelic rock. There's a great article on his last days here: Lemmy's Last Days: How Metal Legend Celebrated 70th, Stared Down Cancer I met him a couple of times... Both in the late 80's early 90's... around gigs in Bristol... First time he was very very wired and the second time I was... err.... Anyway, he seemed like a good bloke (but very wired, intense and quite, err, yeah). That second time was the Merry Bastard Christmas tour and, unfairly, my wife wouldn't let me wear the tour t'shirt this year.... Chrissie, I am also very very envious - Alan Arthurs is an amazing artist (not just for his '90s Hawkwind and Bedouin work) - folks - utilise search engines and be impressed. I think this is my second favourite Lemmy penned Hawkwind track (the first being that which he carried the name to his next band)

Hope it's better than the last load of sh!te they sold masquerading as Reloaded 'type' Me too. I've never had a clone of those that didn't require significant fettling. We shall see... I impulse bought it for when they are good they are very very good.

And lookihere Not sure how long this will be listed so may be a matter of grabbing immediately. I'd love a real one but no way can I budget for it... £17 plus PP conversion is another matter. Misspelt for obvious reasons Squpe-Roaded-V2-Style5-2ml-RTA3 decks in picture and "Other Features The atomizer very good overall workmanship, high cost, the pursuit of perfect quality of imports!"

I've mixed feelings about Facebook. I go through stages where I'm very active and others (including the last few months) when I hardly touch it. For me it's purpose is to answer the question: "I wonder how... is doing these days" and private messaging (no better way for them to really target ads, I guess). The main problem I find is that the algorithms it uses to determine which of your contacts you wish to see... This leads to the majority of your friends being sidelined, which means in turn you don't interact (comment / like) and thus appear to be ignoring... The way around that was to utilise Lists (so I had a UK work list, close colleagues list, Indian work list, Malaysian work list, Slova.... and other lists dived by near location, interest groups, family, close friends...) - Allowing for some logical fallacies to creep into my thinking, Facebook appear to have become wise to these techniques and an increasing number of users are becoming used to seeing "no more posts to show" when trying to utilise the lists.... Regarding algorithms, there is fun to be had by tailoring the adverts you see on the internet (including Facebook) - currently Google, Facebook and Amazon's ad networks are bombarding me with adverts for steel girders and baby nourishment products in favour of things which might tempt me.... This only requires a few minutes a day to set up. And regarding adverts... if you found a company particularly distasteful (say Nestle), make sure you click through their adverts and encourage friends to do the same... It may only cost them fractions of pence but, you know, it all mounts up One thing that does surprise me, however, is that I don't recall the last time outside of this forum where I was subjected to a vape related advert. <edit I occasionally get suckered into time sucking games that appeal to my addictive personality - currently the accursed Criminal Case (do not start these) ... and there's a link to my Words With Friends profile from my facebook identity - I'm easier to find in that game as tomj777 if anyone fancies a game. edit ends>

The H word is overrated in my opinion and should only ever be used as motivation to act (for instance the moral turpitude that is #TPD) Why tarnish yourself with such emotions for anything less... (I'm with you I suspect, yourgurnard) So.... Love... A much nicer word... I really do like my mechs. And I really really like my Kayfun's. TC is interesting but impersonal. VV (VW with math) - fall back convenience. Subtanks... Well, it works when I'm not together enough to build a viable deck. What I don't like... Degrading and distorted o'rings (esp on new shiny things from cheap sources with extended shipping times) . My only predilection for stretching out the life of a wick due to laziness. What I don't understand.... Sub-Ohm DLI
