Somehow I double posted, sorry

Congratulations Drew. I haven't been around as much as I used to either, but my attention was caught by the possible ban on nicotine liquids in the UK in June which seems to have come out of nowhere. On a more personal note I also had an anniversary, 23 years on Tuesday, a day at a time - in...

I'm sure I have recently read somewhere that Ryanair will be allowing e-cigs on their flights - or have I just made this up?

Esperanto - spoken by around 2 million people - an international language which somehow has never quite taken off - good idea though.

A thread on the UK Ebay discussion forum September last year, wondering what e-cigs were, and then someone posted a link to this site. Considerably smaller then and easier to navigate I quickly found the information I needed and that was the beginning.

Thank you for the kind invitation and I wish I could be of use - but you must have picked my name up from a thread where I mentioned Edmonton - in that I lived there for seven years in Griesbach Barracks and left for England in 1958..............sorry.

Oh I feel for you what an invasion of your home. Benjamin Franklin had it right when he said 'guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days'.............

Yes, I agree about them looking like a real cigarette and I suspect like many newcomers, I originally chose the supermini precisely for that reason when I started and before I found this forum. But as we require longer battery power we are already seeing the next generation, the SD, GG...

Agreed, I have never used it and your description of 'angular and crude' is how I also see the word; I find it very awkward and contrived. I remember seeing lists of synonyms, might have been from Kate, some while ago and nothing leapt out as a viable alternative.

A few years back when Marks & Spencer had a small food store in Victoria (or Vancouver, can't remember which) I bought some of the smaller food items, biscuits (cookies to you), small cakes, some pastry things, crisps (chips to you) just to compare with how I know they taste in the UK. They were...

I'm a baby boomer from the late 40s, but boy am I glad my children were 70s kids who managed to get through their childhood and education before the government came down with it's heavy hand.
