No That was dovestone reservoir trish, the fighter plane incident was a few miles up over the moor :) Apart from a few cars coming and going, and bikes of course, there is absolutely nothing up there except rolling hillsides. Ahhh, roll on summer !
Yes, it's a beautiful area in the better months - winter is extremely bleak.
My Dad used to cycle over Saddleworth to his Aunts in his youth. I showed you the moor above Sowerby Bridge where his sister had once lived didn't I ....another lovely peaceful place.

Aw Terry! As if! :laugh: Anything other than that didn't even cross my mind ...yours is working on overload tonight :lol:

OK if you're prone to scratching them.

Well, the istick is an attractive little thing - those cases will totally spoil their looks ...if you looked like that without a coat on, you wouldn't cover up with a silicon one would you :laugh:

Tacky is just my take on them of course ..depends if your istick is in danger of being dropped/damaged.

How do you pronounce that? ...not the CA part :)

Just how it's spelt really, nearest would be "coom"

From the latest Spiritus newsletter:

I didn't realise until that email shot, that they had deserted Terry's neck of the woods to come down South :laugh:

Bournemouth,another place i used to live,3 years.
Back then it was a fantastic place,now i don't know,if it's similar i can't blame anyone moving there.
I ended up there because in the seventies and early eighties,if you grew up on Merseyside you just headed off to where the work was.

It's actually Poole (or Puddle as I call it) that they've moved to, and I also used to live down there, in fact just before I moved up to the Bay, it was actually in Parkstone, and was when I was about 5 (1957) and left there for North Wales when I was 7. It's still quite nice down there, used to work trains to and have breaks at Bournemouth, but like most places, lots of things have changed. It was one of the reasons I moved down here - no work up there, especially if you didn't have any qualifications.

Nor me!
Nicoticket have two UK outlets, and both are in the south now.

Don't know why, Ian sprung to mind when i read that :laugh:
Well, I shan't be attempting to apply any Freudian concepts to that statement! :laugh:

The year before we were married, we went off with two friends and went all around Devon, Dorset, Cornwall and then up to London - quite an adventure for me as I'd been no further than Sowerby Bridge & Leeds until then!
I remember a day in Torquay, and passing through Bournemouth - favourite was Mevagissey in Cornwall :) ...We decided to spend a week there on our honeymoon, and then took our sons there when still quite small - it wasn't the same as much had changed.

Odd thing with Chefs last night - I saw on the home page that they had the Faux Hawk & Hawk Sauce in the ready to use for people to try (they'd mentioned that was coming on the AAEC forum some days ago) so I ordered a bottle of each as it was listed at High VG.
I also noticed that on the E-Liquids link, they were showing the MBV for the two Hawk ready to use ones, and also, a logo for Moose Juice - whatever that is!
When I looked again an hour later, both had gone!
The Hawk ones are amongst the concentrates, but I see no Hawk ready to use anywhere at the moment.

Didn't realise you are a Yorkshire lass Trish.
Are you still there now?
Dad's parents were from Sowerby and Oban :)
More or less, yes.

You got it Bob, a small mining village just outside Ebbw vale.A ten minute drive from my house and youve got some beautiful views of Crickhowell,Llangorse lake and the Brecon Beacons

So I've heard, only ever been to Abertawe (Swansea for the English) and Caerdydd down South Wales.

At least you don't live up the other valley a bit further west that leads up to Merthyr 1966 was a bad year there

Boscombe's not bad, the area to avoid is Hamworthy next stop after Poole, that's where all the dregs of humanity live down there.

Must say i enjoyed my time down there, and Boscombe is fine.Only got out to Poole the once and no further,so i missed the dregs.:laugh:
A girl i went to primary school with and lived next door to in Boscombe is still down there.


Another Flask for sale on UKV this morning :confused:
