My first was Lucky Strike .... I was asked for directions by a Yank sailor close to Southampton docks and I helped him carry his bags to the station. He gave me a pack of twenty ..... a whole new life opened before my 10 year old eyes! cloud9:

My first was one of my dad's Senior Service - made me cough a bit, I can tell you. I suppose I would barely taste it now, compared to my current roll-ups (golden Vagina)  cloud9:

Nottingham born and bred I worked at Players in my summer holidays and in my gap year. My first job one autumn was to sweep the floors and pipes to gather up all the dust and autumn leaves.

I put them in a truck I was given.When the job was done I asked where the truck should go to. "We make Number 6 out of that stuff. Wheel it over there!"

I only stopped 'cos of heart. They made it a condition of treatment .... not that the subsequent bypass worked  Angry9:

I would start again but for Minimus and his asthma. Wouldn't be fair.

Anyway I've been off them for 12 years now and I really don't see putting all that tax money into the Treasury Coffers!

I hadn't bought them in the UK for a good few years anyway. And with the amount of travel that my Brother and his Girlfriend do I wouldn't have to now either.  cloud9:

Strangely, the asthma I suffered when younger pretty much vanished when I started smoking. Most odd.  rubschin:

Me bruv has just phoned. Following a lovely jaunt to Las Vegas for his wife's 40th, he returned to work on Monday and "did his back" just putting his briefcase/laptop into the car. Silly sod. He is currently prostrate at home taking large amounts of morphine. And smoking. He sounds high as a kite.

It looks like he will need another operation - he's already had two discs removed, so with another one to come out, he might end up the same height as me after all these years.  ;D

TMO pls send on my sympathy to your bruv - have had 'back issues' for years resulting in many nights lost sleep.
Had an orthopaedic consult here recently (x-rays the lot) and advised :-

''Ah no cartilage between the vertebrae (sad shaking of head on Doc's part when delivering this news) so no wonder it hurts you, probably osteoarthritis, got drugs for that though.......... Ah neck doesn't look too good either, major accident years ago perhaps ( ::) many  ::)) should bend this way and doesn't''

This consult was just before I left for daughters hen weekend and pole dancing - still did it though  cloud9:
