My favourite is 'futtocks' - completely clean, but has the right feel to be rude.  You are Rambling Sid Rumpo and I claim my five free vaping devices  |

I haven't seen more than a couple of wasps all summer, in the SE of Ireland. Flies and houseflies seem scarce this year too and the bee nest in my soffit had a burst of activity last week after months of nothing happening, then it went quiet again.
However, nature comes in waves and while flying insect numbers may be down this year (perhaps caused by the wet summer) I've a feeling next year might see them explode to compensate. Species tend to up and down as conditions dictate food supply and when food runs out they lay eggs and die down again.

I've got five month's worth of juice at my current vaping rate. Much of it though is flavours I thought I'd like and found I wasn't overly keen on. I've sold or swapped some, but I guess there will always be some 'second division' juices in my box as a safety blanket I'm pretty much the same, but what I've found is the flavours I don't particularly like can be used to add a bit of piquancy to otherwise bland mixes and they get used a little at a time. |

Seems it's more of a go-er this time around.
It just re-inforces my belief that those in offices in Brussels and Strasbourg are nothing but control-freaks who will not be happy until all of us are driving around in the same dreary cars, living the same dreary grey lives as them.
A Universal Europe, the same rules and regs from one end to the next and anyone who dares to stand up/out will be smacked with a hammer.

Me: it's all drivel.
But you can believe what you like.
Amen.

Seems like a normal young man to me.
Can't say I'm impressed with the cries of outrage in the media from all the toffee-nosed fools who have apparently never seen naked skin before. How dare he, eh?

Farzook, that's exactly the same bottled e juice my cousin bought, same labelling as aswell, but don't think he bought it from DX Let me try and find out where he bought his from Problem is, there wasn't any proper labelling on the DX juices, apart from a tiny oval sticker, saying "Cherry" or "Cigar" or "Rum". It was the rum one that turned out to be a bit ... rum, as it were. |

Regarding buying cheap e-liquid from China.
I'll never again take the risk of buying e-juice from Deal Extreme - one lot had me breaking out in spots all over my upper body, so no thanks.
I assume the big makes like Dekang are ok (I've consumed a fair bit of their stuff by now, so likely fine) and it's only the unknown origin ones like from DX that strike me as dodgy. I suspect DX's suppliers aren't subject to any scrutiny at all and could well be knocking the stuff up in a filthy bucke or bathtub and using gawd-knows-what in it - likely not BP or food grade ingredients.

I don't get bitten much by midges, but one summer they were around in atrocious numbers and the only way to keep them off was to stand in the smoke of a campfire - all friggin' evening.

I'd heard many stories about charity money being badly spent or fiddled out inthe bush, so this doesn't come as a great surprise. What's needed is a list of verified and vouched-for charities who don't employ charlatans and crooks out there (and just as importantly, employ competent individuals at this end).

Ooh, as a fellow sore back sufferer, I feel your pain, mate. It's got to the stage now, where I can only do a couple of hours work before I simply have to stop and that's being careful. If I'm not careful it's down tools in as little as ten minutes and if I persevere I'm wrecked for a week or ten days of recovery. All this started 20 years ago when I lifted a tool box the wrong way... I know what you mean about the missus - wimmen are evil |

Round about here, the bitey things have had a late start but seem to be making up for lost time at the moment. I was standing in the one spot for too long on Sunday, photographing a passing car rally, and found red ants had crawled up my trouser legs and started biting me, the little sods.
The midges aren't too bad at the moment, but other flying things are having a field day. I look forward to heavy rain to knock them down in the evening.

Thinking long term; if it deters some kids from taking it up, it will be a good thing, no?
There is some research suggesting some kids are attracted by the packaging, like in so many other areas, I suppose, and the cool factor, still. Hard to believe we/me thought it was cool to commit slow suicide.
