I notice a fair amount of songs relating to the Military / Army So I thought I'd throw this out there - it's introduced as an anti-war song but my old army mates don't see it like that.

Inspired by OneDay and my own long standing relationship with their music, I thought I'd share three very different Hawkwind tracks. Firstly I offer you this missive of ethereal beauty. Then I up the pace tenfold and offer you all another insight into my formative years (alas I wasn't there). To me, this contains many hints of Hawkwind at their chaotic best (even though the set is a little contrived) I should warn that Nick, doing his err thing, there may be a little viewer sensitivity knocked asunder. And finally, from the same album as the first track, something to play loud. Oh - the best rendition of Silver Machine I saw was Nick Turner at the front of a small stage in a cramped venue (during his All Stars Jazz ensemble days) accompanied only by clapping. Enjoy or skip rapidly thought. Oh - no videos of Stacia here - sorry boys.

I quite enjoyed the movie, but that enjoyment may have been influenced by JMS who wrote the (I think) screen play and whom I recall from the Usenet days.

I think when the black market establishes post #TPD (or have I missunderstood) then these are going to be de rigour

I was thinking about t-shirts today... Nice political vaping t shirts... And this subject crossed my mind when I was thinking about supermarkets (who, if regulation means only the big boys survive, will be where the limited nice range is sold) I had in mind personal use component costs... But then I realised by doing that I would be messing up B&M shops (which we vapers will need if err we are not to be forced to a black market). And then I thought to myself... worst case, form a co-op to import 10ml of 19mg/ml unflavored liquid and sell as close to cost as possible with mix inductions, just to mess up the supermarkets and regulatory testing per flavour offer batch... I'm rambling now (gets his hat)
No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted

Thanks, DiscoDes I was good with the price charged but wondered if I'd missed something obvious that I'd need to find before next time.

Oh dear - I'd promised my wife I wouldn't buy anything else.... Tom's been bad. I bought the FT Type A one of these (alas with the legendary flaw and dutifully waited for the replacement base... It arrived (with unexpectedly good threading) and, once I learnt how to avoid the continuous discharge that occurs when juice level reaches about 40%, have to say that it's an exceptionally good vape - perhaps even on par with my (reak) Kayfuns. i.e. I concur with fiddlesAssuming the hoped for quality comes through, I think purchasers will be very pleased. Before I make a second purchase from focalecig, can anyone tell me where to enter that coupon code...

Thanks, Tom, I'll have to raise a ticket. Still confuddled why it's gone back, as there weren't any batteries or liquid in it. These things happen though & it'll be interesting to see if the heads make it the rest of the way. It will simply be that the carrier or HMRC have turned around the entire shipment. Good luck and hopefully you will find the naysayers regarding FT Customer Services wrong (I have, twice).

Out of interest, does anyone know what polycarb is used on the FT ones?

It does occur to me that if we had knitters amongst us, a few very cool mod holders could be constructed and they could be sold for a little profit / pin money.

jess I've had the same experience. The carrier sampled a consignment, found batteries and turned the whole consignment back. This was part of the HK fiasco. FT were pretty good in explaining what was happening, I cancelled and reordered using a different carrier (on their suggestion) and I received the items a couple of weeks later. Raise a ticket.

I caused more than a little consternation in my family by explaining that I couldn't, in all conscience, vote for a party that has Linda McAvan representing them (and thus potentially me). My challenge is that I am still scarred by the years of Margaret Thatcher and I find UKIP more than a little xenophobic and am too afraid of what they may become to place my vote there. I think the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats are, for vaping, the best news although I'm mindful that both the Tories and, to an extent, UKIP, were supportive (not sure how well versed UKIP folks were).
Shouldn't (shoot me now) just be about vaping though.
