and that silly Miller woman next to him waving her arms around - it's only vapour, not smoke
Yes! ...people like her are always going to be a problem. Not sure I'm that concerned about being able to use them in such places. I do think there are some places where they should be allowed though.

In the days of smoking on planes and in airports still being allowed, I remember being stuck in an airport in the wee small hours at one of the Canary Islands en route to Majorca. We were all put into an area close to a closed cafeteria! We were there for hours, and each time someone lit a cigarette, a lady opposite us pulled a terrible face and began waving her arms around - and then her husband lit a pipe! :facepalm:

The last time i smoked at an airport(approx 5 years ago)was at Frankfurt.I had to go to the below ground floor level and stand in a glass box with the other outcasts.It was extracted directly outside thru' a large aluminium tube.

Think mine was longer ago than that, transitting Zuerich on my way to Bucharesti, there was a special spot for the lepers to gather for a quick drag, but at least it was still in a normal part of the lounge, it just had big extractor fans above.

Trisha.Ive never had any extra flavour shots.No need and I like a flavoursome Vape.
Great - thanks! :)

Unlike my Yaeliq Butterscotch, I should have asked for the extra flavour with that, it seems quite weak
Pity you can't get bottles of concentrate to add to it!

I can't remember when we went to Majorca ...definitely a long time ago now.

I flew to Heathrow and back for work related stuff a few times - 6.45am breakfast flight down, 17.35pm flight back, and the British Midland lounge at Heathrow allowed smoking - think the last time was mid 90's.

I'll check their site, I know they offer it as an addon, so might just buy another bottle to get some, even though it tastes a bit weak, it's still nice :)
@Marcus1970 I didn't get any additional flavouring in the ones I received this morning either.

Be nice if you can get it as a separate order! ...good thing you like it though, so another bottle won't be wasted!

I decided to try 10ml bottles of the most likely ones for me. There were 6 of them, and one was the Whipped Banana Cream. When checking out, I noticed that one was listed on the order as 10ml just like the others, but charged at £8.49! Tried deleting it and adding it again, but the price was always the same, so I ended up getting a 30ml bottle.
Be nice to try a few small bottles to see if I like them.

Talking of flying, I think I only ever flew once where I was allowed to smoke on the plane, was the last few rows near the tail if I remember rightly, and it was a charter to Malaga back in the 80's
First time I ever flew was in 1989 to Malta (absolutely terrified, and asked myself what on earth I was doing as I climbed the steps looking wistfully back at the terminal!). Flew a number of times after that.
The second time was BA first class with bucks fizz breakfast (husbands company interrupting a weeks holiday at home, so let me go to Madrid with him) and when the stewardess saw that I was nervous of flying, had the pilots invite me into the cockpit for a while ..fascinating, and something never done now.
We had a number of holidays after that, but I never did like the flying.

We booked a 5 day break in Lisbon expecting it to be non-smoking - and me not happy! - Very pleased to book in with Air Portugal and be asked if we wanted smoking or non-smoking seats!
The only non smoking ones were by the time I was flying up and down to London for gallery or publisher meetings. I still think I was brave to fly on my own!

I still hate flying ..and most travel now to be honest. Shame because I'd be OK not smoking on a plane now! :laugh:

Interesting! I could certainly do with trying that. Thanks :)
I'm supposed to drink a lot more than I do - I have 2x14oz containers of water each day plus a fair bit of tea, but no great water drinker.

I see Amazon have it, albeit fairly costly. I'll try a 30 sachet pack and see if it helps, and if so, will look for a direct equivalent that's readily available here.

That's why I get some squash, to make the water more palatable :)
I usually add around 20% of a Tropicana juice, Roses lime juice, or Lucozade ...tastes better, but I still find it hard to drink a lot more than I do. With the tablets I take, I'm supposed to drink a lot more as they can interfere with liver and kidney function.
I have been a bit dehydrated since I was in hospital, but it's slowly been improving. Hopefully, that Ultima stuff will help!

But 2 x 14oz is not even half of what you should be drinking, which should be just over 70 fl.oz (2 litres), I normally have about 3 pints a day (60 fl.oz) so even I'm a bit short.

Yes, I do need to increase it. 2x14ozs of water seems a lot to me as I never did drink water much. I always drink a lot of tea though! :laugh:
Not recommended that I drink coffee now, so miss my afternoon mug of it :(

I need to get a large bottle of water and try to get through it every day - can re-fill it daily and add something to it ..initially, I'll add the Ultima electrolyte powder!
