That's all we'll get until June - each side trying to out-do the other and not a thought for the people they're supposed to work for!
It's all no more honest than the lies and deceit thrown around from those who tried to ban e-cigarettes!
Can they not see, that what they lose in 'real' tobacco tax/duty, they'll gain in NHS costs for fewer smoking related diseases? Is that too difficult for these so-called educated people? Or does Brussels and their ilk not have something similar to the NHS
All they'll succeed in doing is to make smokers think twice about whether it would be worth trying to stop smoking! After all, they don't really know how effective it is until they've tried it ..and if it looks like a costly risk, they won't bother so readily.
Having not smoked for over 2 years, I very much doubt I'll smoke again, but others, and those yet to try will possibly see things differently.

Terry, if you can cast your mind back to a year ago this week, how well flavoured is Mrs Lords stuff? Any I try would be the more recent drip range, so not as extensive as the main range.Mrs Lords Summer Pudding Is...Bloody beautiful. I get mixed berries, with a hint of apple ( just a hint Trish ) And in all honesty, This has got to be one of the best liquids i have ever had.
Looking forward to trying the other two now, Victoria Sandwich, and Seville Marmalade.
Oh Happy Days
Ones that catch my eye are the Summer Pudding, Victoria Sandwich and Trifle (Wish they did 10ml bottles to try!)
Yes i got the email Trish, and i will have to check my stocks to see if i need owt
Very well flavoured, and very rich Trish
In all honesty i had forgot all about Mrs Lords so i think i will pay them a visit. Trifle you say ?? I`m definitely paying them a visit EDIT: I just realised why i hadn`t been back for a while, talk about expensive
Still good for a treat though Trish. I forgot, the marmalade is very nice too If you look on Redjuice, rip tripper has got a range on there, i tried a couple a while back and they were very good !! ( Vapetrik in the usa range )

So for people who`ve tried it, what`s Chefs Welsh Custard like ? Better than GVC, and Charlies ?
I already had a few things in the basket, so I added a few more and used the code!Yes i got the email Trish, and i will have to check my stocks to see if i need owt
I saw a couple of concentrates from DV that I thought you may find interesting: Lemony Blush (Italian Lemon & Raspberry), and Waikiki Hula (sweet pineapple, fresh orange and bitter grapefruit.)
I've been using the Doughnut King, and decided it needed a 'lift' for a change, so yesterday, added 50% Sea Dogs Custard from Isle of Custard to it, and today 1/3 of Jelly by Twonk (strawberry jam doughnut) ...both very nice!
I think I may try one of the three - Victoria sponge, Summer Pudding or Trifle ...just not sure which!Very well flavoured, and very rich Trish
I'll have a look, but would like to try at least one of the Mrs Lords.EDIT: I just realised why i hadn`t been back for a while, talk about expensive
Also, I see on Spiritus, there's a range called Mido in 10ml bottles - like the sound of the Nanna (raspberry sugar cookie & cream), and Yillo (Strong apple pie cookie with creamy taste) no mention of cinnamon with that one, so may be one I'd like, and perhaps this time, the apple won't try to suffocate me
I really like it - but I like their Virtual Custard too!
Don`t think i have ever bothered with spiritus, and ordered direct from NT instead, i really liked the band camp thoughI already had a few things in the basket, so I added a few more and used the code!

I`m not really looking for concentrates just yet Trish, waiting to see how the land lies in may first !
Band Camp may come back again - I think it's been done twice, and was really popular.Don`t think i have ever bothered with spiritus, and ordered direct from NT instead, i really liked the band camp though

Spiritus are OK to buy from - they have Mrs Lords, Quacks etc. too.
I prefer ready to use ones too, but with Chefs, concentrates are sometimes the only option! I like the ones that are easy to use, and if nice, I call the percentages mls. and make either 100 or 50ml bottles in ready to use VG base!
I'll make an exception for MCV though - it has a list of 5 flavours in it adding up to 36% (35% is the recommended dilution in base), but if I make 100ml bottle of concentrate, it'll last me quite a while, and all I'll need to do is add 36mls to a generous 64mls of VG base!
It's still one that I can happily use every day and it gives me no problems either.
He went into hospital on Tuesday for a procedure (angioplasty), and depending what time it got done, how well it went, and how he was afterwards, may have been home later that day, or perhaps yesterday. He may need a day or two of rest.
With luck, we'll see him soon
He had a hospital appointment to have something done yesterday Sue, hope all went well for him
EDIT...

Well Mr Editor, hope you come back in one piece my friend!Just off to the doctors myself now ( To have something done to me )
I have only one thing to say - B A R S T E W A R D S
Much nicer than GVC, doesn't go black either so won't gunk up your coils as bad, and just as good as Charlie's
Yes folks, I'm back but what a god awful time I've had, I thought it was going to be a more straightforward procedure, was even told by doc who got me to sign consent form that they would be going in through the wrist, which is much easier and quicker to recover from BUT when I got into the Lab the consultant decided he wanted to do more than just the Left Circumflex, and wanted to attack my Right Coronary artery again, so they ended up going through both the femoral arteries again - 3 hours in the Lab before they were done, went back up to recovery to be told I would be staying in overnight, possibly 2 due to the amount of contrast they had used again, had a bleed where the plugs had been put in, which left me sweaty & giddy, luckily one of the nurses was with me when it happened, and called the doc in and they stopped it - because the Cardiac ward was full, ended up staying the first night in the recovery room ( at least they brought in 2 proper beds, someone else had to stay as well, he escaped the next morning
), my hands look like a pin cushion and my groins are all swollen and bruised, Got a single room on the ward about midday and thought I might have been able to make good my escape last night, but they decided to keep me in until 10:30 this morning, the earliest anyone has managed to escape, haemoglobin levels back to normal after the blood loss (this was the hold up), and contrast flushed out of the kidneys.It'll be a bit painful for the next couple of days and I shouldn't lift anything heavier than the kettle for a week, and hopefully that should be the end of it - don't know how many stents they put in but I could hear a lot of clicking when they snap them off and shunt them up the catheter, I'll find out when I go for the next review in a couple of months time.
Yes - can't win can we!

So sorry you had such a rough time! Don't suppose you can feel any benefit from it yet ..or can you?
I had a bad time with kidney function after imaging fluid for the CT scan. Was monitored for a month after.
I was betrayed by a consultant who promised me sedation for an oscopy (which I should have had due to the amount of inflammation), but when I got to the 'oscopy' department, the dreadful doctor down there literally shouted at me that I didn't need it, and couldn't have it! Had indescribable pain, and in the end she beat a hasty retreat realising she'd done me no favours. I've actually had sciatic pain on my left side ever since! 20 minutes of hell!
She undid a lot of trust I'd regained over the previous three days.
Still, you must be very glad to be home again, and I hope you rest well, and recover quickly. Take it easy!
Not yet, but hopefully after a few days, once I can get out to go round the shops and the swelling has gone down.
On another note, just picked this up on AAEC a quote from FT:
Not a good omen - looks like we could do with a lithium battery production line over here - but that'll never happen...
