Hey, Carman...

How's this for a king-size emoticon??:D

Re: Hey, Carman...
 

Well, not bad; but why the hell have all that nice stuff like tar, irritants, CO and nicotine; then put a namby-pamby muffler on the end?

Straight-thrus rule.

Perhaps we should have alcohol filters on beer, wine & spirit containers together with the bar outlet spouts. . . . . . . . . .

Think of all the livers it would save, the lack of drunken louts in the street, beaten wives and the lack of drunk drivers; might even become safe to go to a football match too. . . . . . . . .

15 all.
New balls please.

A little tea with yore smoke?
 

Oh Master Canadian Pixie Sunray? I know how very much you enjoy tea with yore smokes ... have you seen thi. Guys after yore own wee bittie Pixie Scot heart? :smoker: :D

MA :yappy: :smoker: :D

Re: PW/VD
 

Goes to show you that this anti-smoking Gestapo stuff just doesn't work, anymore than Prohibition in the States worked in the twenties and thirties.

Right now I'm DRINKING my tea and smoking REAL ciggies, so I'm at least two-up on those guys... and next week I'll be able to do that in my own place, not in the damned garage... :D

Re: No filter....
 

This is smoking Zig Zag style downunder! On second thoughts, it's also how they smoke in Canada!:smoker:

Cheers Master Sunray
 

:cheers: (TEA) and :smoker: to you then Master Sunray, as you :smoker: :smoker: :smoker: and sip sip sip, nicely tucked in front of your computer, or wherever you may be in your new home and enjoy flipping your :smoker: into that big smokin' ashtray in the wall!

Carmen's Toronto banning smoking
 

The article quoted "The Black Dog" pub.Hey I've been there.Just up the road(staggering distance)from my brother in law in Scarborough,Ontario.Funny thing is you can't smoke there anymore,But three of us went in with our dogs on leashes one nite for 3 hours.Can't smoke,but they do serve the dogs' dog biscuits & bowls of water.Try staggering with a dog pulling you.
What a world!!

Re: Carmen's Toronto banning smoking
 

Garry, I hope you enjoyed your biscuits and didn't spill your bowl of water.

Re: Re: Carmen's Toronto banning smoking
 

:D :D :D :D :D :D

Oh Keefy
 

Oh Keefy ...every once in a while you just really pop off a good one :D:D:D

Garry ... I'm surprized the Allergin Police didn't boot the poor pups because of the air pollution from their dander, hair, or hindside :D People have died from allergic reactions ... yet people may, or may not get cancer from tobacco smoke. What if breathing that doggy breath in the pub killed someone 25 years down the road cause it took that long to kill them? Then the family would have to sue that pub(and gee, maybe the flea powder/shampoo companies too)

THEY SHOULD ALL BE BANNED FROM PUBLIC MINGLING!

Freedom to choose by the biz owner makes the most sense ... "Who ya gonna cater to? YOU decide."

Customer/Consumer... "Free to choose smoking? or non-smoking? to enter or not. NOT FREE TO DICTATE. NOT YOUR BIZ!"

:yappy: :smoker: (It ain't the smoking ... its the violation of peoples right to choose. ) :p :D

Re: Re: Carmen's Toronto banning smoking
 

Hi Keefy mate down under!!I don't know if your comment was a slight to my character,although I must admit I've had to fight my Golden Retriever Shadow for the biscuit.At least he's trained to get me another beer from the fridge.As we canucks have now designed YOUR flag,gave you OUR CMP's plus OUR PBY Flying Boats,is there anything else on your Christmas list that you would like from colonial Canada??I know-It has to fly!!

No kidding though Garry ... I'm totally happy for you! Merry HoHo Christmas to you!!! And your family and of course my pet SHADOW!

Good onya ;)

hugs from Karmen

Baaaa!
 

I think Max has eaten Lucky the sheep...

Yes, it was good of you Canucks to give us all these wonderful things. Perhaps you'd like some of our Summer weather in return?;)

Re: Baaaa!
 

Max has eaten your girlfriend? Yikes. In the meantime, please send us some Aussie summer. It's been snowing all day here.... :(

Amen on that Geoff-
 

Still snowing hereBeen sshoveling forr two days..By the way, had a look at my new CD from my daughter,"The Battle of Britain".Found my first error.As the Heinkel 111's taxi for takeoff,& as you view them from behind,you can see,inboard from both the port & starboard Iron Crosses on the wings,a very noticible impression of RAF roundals.I like the scene of the invasion barges passing two Luftfaffe pilots waiting to get off their base,led by no other than C-15TA's with khaki canvas tops.
Will be looking for other inconsistensies,besides the obvious US trucks in the scene.

Re: Amen on that Geoff-
 

Congrats, Garry!
:cheers:

Could you capture an image of those C15TA's?

Thanks,
Hanno

Caapture the C115TA'ss
 

Sorry Hanno my friend.Don't have the computer equipment to do it'JWB has the movie.Maybe he can help!!

Felis Navidad(Merry Christmas form Canada

Re: Re: Amen on that Geoff-
 

I probably can, Hanno, but it will have to wait until I get moved this Wednesday. Things are a trifle hectic right now, as you can imagine. The movie is available on PAL as well as DVD right now, and it should be cheap... it's certainly "a keeper" regardless of the C15TAs... :)

Re: Re: Re: Amen on that Geoff-
 

Ah, that reminds me; we have just seen the Flying Films/Roundway Studios presentation of "OVERLORD 60", a 48 min documentary that features the Horndean show and the King's Stone dedication previously.

Unhappily it seems Mr. Winningray-Balltonsun's smart salute from Ballard's DTB F15 is likely languishing on the cutting room floor, however, by recompense there is a short interview with "Mr. Ball from Canada".

This material is on a DVD and should be acceptable to all multi-region DVD players. I'm not too well up on DVD formats but they tell me its in PAL as usual and rarely get any whinges from the N. American continent who seem to be stuck with Never Twice Same Colour.

We have copies on order and they seem to work out at some 13 quid + postage.

re: Richard
 

Tell those buggers to make the rest of that footage available to those of us reprobates who actually give a shit about this stuff!

"Mr. Ball from Canada" indeed... :rolleyes: even Keefy did better than that, and he's a bloody Colonial as well... :D

Re: Caapture the C115TA'ss
 

Thanks Gary, in that case we'll leave it up to Sunray - now he knows what to unpack first!

Fijne Kerstdagen! (Merry Christmas from Holland)

Hanno

Re: re: Richard
 

Now, now; keep your hair on. (What little there is of it, that is.)

I'll ask them what unused material is hanging about still.
http://www.flyingfilms.co.uk/
You just be nice to them antipodeans that still have a working Humphrey Pump.

You must have given your name to the presenter/interviewer when lounging against Mr Ballard's DTB F15, nothing to do with me, I was too busy hooning around on my hired-in quad bike trying to make people feel like it was Beltring; and before you start I know full well I need to be 50yrs younger to have the Beltring quad bike re-enactment absolutely accurate.

So there. :p

R.

Re: Re: re: Richard
 

Yes, Jif be nice to us. No use getting poopy just because we have all the good weather along with most of the CMPs!;)

You'd be lucky to get access to unused footage - that's usually way too hard for a production house to do.

Speaking of the topic matter...
 

...amazing that after over 2 1/2 years, I can finally smoke in my own place again, instead of in the damned garage... :D

Re: Richard
 

McStolly, if I recall correctly, they did say they'd make stills available from both the parade and interview. When you have a chance, perhaps you could follow that up? Either that or provide me with an email address I could use to contact them directly...

Thanks,

:smoker: :smoker: :smoker:

Re: Re: Richard
 

Indeed so, let me try and follow it up. Probably though I'll get nowhere this year now. Most places are in the December Dead Band from next Wednesday until Jan 4 2005.

R.

Re: Speaking of the topic matter...
 

Master Sunray,

I am well pleased that you are so pleased to be able to :smoker: in your own place again. Ah, such a fine, fine life it is indeed when a person can :smoke: in above zero temps comfort of ones own home when the white clouds poofing from the mouth are not breath, but smoke puffpuffpuffpuffpuff PUFFFFFF puffffttttttt

It's a Wonderful Life indeed!

Re: Re: re: Richard
 

Master R. you would be surprized at just how hairy Master Sunray IS these days :D of course the hair color makes me think of mercury spilling through his hair follicles ... silver fox :devil:
