According to a couple of American vendors the Sweettooth is 70/30 but the Omega juices do look like they are 60/40.Unless they do a different ratio in low nic.
Ah! I wondered where the 'time' anomaly came in - hadn't realised that.
London clothing was all Biba and Carnaby Street style for me by the time I took much interest - did you see the documentary on Carnaby Street last year? Some great footage
Just saw the documentary on Mayfair ...hilarious in parts! I hadn't known Pickett had been forced to move out of Burlington Arcade because of rent rises ..they'd been there for a very long time.
Site has nothing to do with me, I just mentioned it as it seemed a good offer of cheap juice. I haven't tried mine yet, I always leave new juice a couple of weeks no matter where I get them.

Most of those Arcades are rubbish now, most places are just too expensive to rent, and we all know who the main landlords are (CofE), and lots of people don't even bother going in them, Oxford Street for the normal tourists and Bond Street for the richer types, Carnaby Street not worth going to these days, tarty shops selling tourist crap. I only go up the West End when I really need to, mainly for things I can't get elsewhere.
Bob, how long did your tobeco take to reach you mate ?
Slowboat - 18 days from the shipping email
EDIT: and if I remember right, not much in the way of tracking on it.

Thankyou![]()
Some people/companies have their pages accessible by anyone, and in those cases, I will look at themI know i couldn't drag you there with a team of horses Trish,but Omega and Alpha both have Facebook pages.
Thanks for that - it was the same as I found earlier on one site. I looked for a while this morning but couldn't anything apart from that one site! One is a Cranberry & Cream, the Other a similar one to Sweet Tooth, so not sure about the cranberry one, but I may be able to add the other to some Max VG or 100% VG ones. I do wish these site owners realised the importance of having accurate PG/VG information ...it's the second time in a week this has happened to me.According to a couple of American vendors the Sweettooth is 70/30 but the Omega juices do look like they are 60/40.Unless they do a different ratio in low nic.
I use US ones as soon as they arrive and reach room temp. Even if made to order, they've steeped in transit!I haven't tried mine yet, I always leave new juice a couple of weeks no matter where I get them.![]()
I haven't been into central London for 10 years or more, so I'm not surprised some things have changed.Most of those Arcades are rubbish now, most places are just too expensive to rent, and we all know who the main landlords are (CofE), and lots of people don't even bother going in them, Oxford Street for the normal tourists and Bond Street for the richer types, Carnaby Street not worth going to these days, tarty shops selling tourist crap.

Places like the cigar shop, certain leather goods or fragrance shops etc. are the ones I do hope will survive ...nothing that I use, but I love the tradition that there used to be in London shopping streets away from the bigger stores. I did like Dickins & Jones and Liberty ..when it was still the traditional Liberty. I always bought a dozen bars of soap there and a few other things, plus there was a lady in their fragrance department that always recognised me and always remembered what I liked and would show me anything new that she thought would suit me. I still have the bottle from the first one (Etro) because we bought it on our way to the private view at the RA.
The Kings Road was still good for unusual shops the first time I went there for a meeting with art directors, and they took me to an art fair too at Chelsea Town Hall - at least my work gets to go there each year!
After those places, my main haunts would be The Royal Academy, Fortnums for coffee & toasted teacakesAll of Covent Garden for the shopping, opera and music, street performers and a snack - and especially Neales Yard ...I'm still wearing a lapis point pendant that I bought there the week I got a painting in the Royal Academy exhibition!
I would never go there without a visit to a W2 art dealer and a Waterloo gallery I worked with opposite The Old Vic.
As for Carnaby Street, I never went near it once I knew what it used to be had been lost for ever.
Nothing stays the same except perhaps our memories![]()
have a small gallery just 5 minutes from where I live and usually have a gander through the window to see what they have, but the only thing I have bought from them is a couple of frames for prints that I have.Oh definitely! I had a 2 LP set of Roy Orbison ..there's always one record better than the other, and wouldn't you know it - our first son, while still very small, decided one (the best one) would be good to slide over the damp grass on! I still feel peeved when I think about that.
Worst paranoia for me was when I got my Sansui turntable with suitably 'brilliant' cartridge on it - I got nervous every time they moved quickly near it!

I think it's a good rule to work by with painting. I see some where the artist can paint exquisite glass or intricate silver, yet the fruit looks plastic (and that's my husbands observational phrase, not mine!) - I tend to observe & make a mental note never to fall into the trap of thinking I can paint everything to the same standard, but say little.
Can you imagine it ...we're at a fairly large mixed exhibition where people are moving past the work, often murmuring quietly or making approving noises, and he suddenly says 'have you seen that ...even I could do better!' ...and I creep quietly away hoping no-one realises he's with me!
I'm of the opinion that art is all things to all people, and as such, try (at least in public) to respect both the artists of said work, and the patrons/admirers of it![]()

We had some great teachers - sadly few of them in the more academically challenging subjects ..they were mostly very 'grey boring' teachers.
The best were English lit. Music, Religious Knowledge (he was hilarious), one art teacher, one French exchange teacher, and the PE/Gymnastics teacher ..she had a voice like a posh version of gravelly voiced Bernard Manning!General science/biology was a good teacher too.
It is a true vocation, and those that have it are a treasure. (bit like GP's!)

Dickins & Jones closed in 2006, and the building was re-developed to have shops at ground level and an upmarket restaurant with apartments and roof terraces above.Don't think D&J or Liberty has changed much, Covent Garden still has the street performers, I quite like to have a coffee and listen to the performers downstairs, sometime a Trio (violin, Cello etc) other times a solo, went there last month with my friends from Belgium and it was an Italian singer, he was quite good.
Haven't been near the King's Road in years so not sure what it is like these days, that's one of the problems living here, you tend to steer clear of a lot of places and only visit them when showing someone round from abroad. Think I mentioned I had been to an exhibition in that place by the OV, can't for the life of me remember why, because it's not normally my thinghave a small gallery just 5 minutes from where I live and usually have a gander through the window to see what they have, but the only thing I have bought from them is a couple of frames for prints that I have.

Back in work tomorrow worst luck![]()

Been a busy boy today.
Emptied 9 complete set-ups today that were down to their last drags of liquid. Gave them all a deep clean tanks, mods, threads the lot. So I've now reduced my in use set-ups to 10. May reduce things even further, but that's enough for today.
Also dry burned and rewicked a couple of toppers while I was on a roll![]()
