Liking the new Avatar Terry :D

Well unfortunately, I'm working tomorrow too. But on the plus side, I've got a trip over to Huddersfield to look forward to. Better take my passport and translation dictionary with me :laugh:

They were trying to get me to work Bank holiday Monday too. No chance of that happening, I do need an occasional day off :D

No, you just need a red rose :evil:

Think I'll still take the translator though. Last time I did the route, people were getting on asking for "Slewit" the place they are going to is called "Slaithwaite" - bloody foreigners :laugh:

Yeah, i got sick of seeing myself. :laugh:

So is the new Avatar not a selfie then mate :laugh:

---------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully be doing some dripping on Monday, with the samples kindly donated by Terry. Something to look forward to on my day off :D

I think I'll try the pineapple one first and work my way up to the blue moo last, that way I'll drip the best last :D

LMP is lovely mate, I like the strawberry cream tart from Steamgunk too - their miles better juices than triphammer (don't think I'll be ordering from TH again).

God don`t remind me of that TH crap mate, they have got to be one of the worst juices i have ever tried, and that is a few.

When I first tried them, they were pretty good. But I think they changed the recipe, my second order was nothing like the first one. I've nearly used up the jelly babies from them now. I use a 1/4 of a bottle of jelly babies and 3/4 of a bottle of Zeus juice in the Vmod during the day. Think I've only got a couple of mls left now, next to clear is the white gems.

Why would they do that ian ? I remember people raving about them months ago ( thats why i tried them ) so obviously they had it right in the first place. !

Possibly cutting costs by using a cheaper flavour supplier. That's the only thing I can think of. Shame really, my first batch was superb.

No sign of any movement with my FT order. Normally with Sing post they tend to get put on the plane over the weekend - that's what I've noticed so far with other orders. This one is still showing as accepted by the carrier. Hopefully, they'll stick it on a plane tomorrow. If it gets here for next weekend, I can do some more bottom feeding dripper modding :D

Not a good way to run a business that mate, I know they have to make a profit but cutting costs to get more profit, will NOT be good for them. It`s a stupid thing to do if you think about it cos at the end of the day what started as a really good vendor, has just turned into a crap one.

Very true mate. It's the only thing I can think of though, for the reason behind the massive change in quality. I know all juices made with the same ingredients and percentages will all be slightly different each time, but not as much as these were. The white gems I could vape all day in a Vmod. The second batch, I vaped for half an hour and had to change it for something else - not good at all :(

Just been reading a thread about making an orange flavour extraction, might give it a try at some point. I could probably try a lemon one too. That would be great, being able to make my own flavourings :D

Thought you were having an identity crisis :laugh:
I think best of all, I liked the spooky one with the white cloth!

Think I'll still take the translator though. Last time I did the route, people were getting on asking for "Slewit" the place they are going to is called "Slaithwaite" - bloody foreigners :laugh:
We were talking to someone from W Yorks, and he told us about the OAP's getting on a bus in the mornings who would look at the driver and say: 'Twirly?' ....turns out they were asking if they were too early to use their bus pass! :rolleyes:
My Dad was from Sowerby Bridge and he had some quaint expressions :)

I have something like 12 - 5ml 8mg bottles of TH - never used them because of the PG. Got them in April & May.

Just been reading a thread about making an orange flavour extraction, might give it a try at some point. I could probably try a lemon one too. That would be great, being able to make my own flavourings :D
I was impressed to read that Clark at NT makes his own vanilla extract from various types of pod, and just saw a few days ago where he'd made some orange extract for a flavour I think is no longer on the website ...said it took ages and he's not keen to repeat it!

Anything over 16 x 10ml bottles will have to be sent by small parcel which is £3.20.
When it comes to 30ml/50ml/100ml/500ml bottles, these will still need to be sent by small parcel which is £3.20.

Yep we call them "twirlies" over here :laugh: My sister lived in Sowerby Bridge for a while or as the locals call it "Soaby". It's a lovely place, I could quite easily live there myself. I used to go fishing there pretty regularly when my sister lived there, the local kids used to come and chat with me when I was there. But unlike the kids round here, these were well behaved, polite and respectful.

Clark's a master mixer as far as I'm concerned. If my flavour extraction is half as good as his, I'll be twice as impressed :laugh:

Those are good postage rates from CV :)

Nice thing about living down here, it's only "twirly" on National Rail within the Zones, everything else we can use 24/7
