Built on the Clyde by the way.

Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship. Built on the Clyde in 1869 for the Jock Willis Shipping Line, she was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest, coming at the end of a long period of design development which halted as sailing ships gave way to steam propulsion.

The opening of the Suez Canal (also in 1869) meant that steam ships now enjoyed a much shorter route toChina, so Cutty Sark spent only a few years on the tea trade before turning to the trade in wool from Australia, where she held the record time to Britain for ten years.

Because Calais was an english town, true, and they appreciate so much the atmosphere antipasti avant gout they want to visit Britannia the mere patrie Embarassed 

We should help those tourists to cross the channel instead of keepin' there, no? be good for national financial balance sheet, I guess

 

EDIT.

The amount that get across I think you help them anyway.

Hello letsgonuts, long time no see. I meant his height.

sure you did, and did you miss me? Because the forums need some resusciating, do you concur?

No and Yes. In that order 

aahhhh.... that inimitable pain of a burn from kayak21. 

Once kayak21 responds to me, the cacophous beating of my heart ethereally transmogifies into a mellifluous symphony that Beethoven himself wished he had composed.

lol I am clearly joking around, i dont want to look like a creep or is it too late already?

What is 10 dollars in real money?

Todays rate is 1.57 USD to the pound = £6.37

edit....I think a pack of 20 fags in the UK is about 7 or 8 quid. Marco will know.

What exactly is a quid? Half a pound?

kayak21

No. A quid is one pound. But if something is say 10 pounds, you don't say 10 quids. You say 10 quid. Never put an S on the end of it. :)

         NEW RECORD.  7 cigs for Tues, instead of the usual 9 Smile

I think you'll achieve it soon, maybe having one or two time to time. There are worse things.

Of course, and naturally you put an "e" at the end of a word and then you pretend it isn't there!

My posts are much shorter (and clear) than yours, however you manage to misread them. I've said he's in the right path, he'll be able to limite it to one or two per day, and that are worse things he could do to spoil his health (and probably he does). Like trying French wines, for example. I myself haven't ever smoked, I'm well aware of the consequences.

You can stop smoking after sex, if you slow down and use a lubricant. I hope this helps.

Pulpofeira

I started first judging your posts? How so?

All the best to anyone wanting to give up smoking.  It's about the best thing you can do for your health.  My brother quit after a lifetime's smoking when he had a heart attack, and feels much better for it.

Pulpofeira

You are a bit dense. The "not the weapons topic" comment is obviously a joke. It's a touchy subject, as everyone here has experienced at some moment. It was like saying: "beware! Now we will have 100 off topic posts!" Hard to believe anyone can take seriously a comment like that.

Pulpofeira

Keep pushing, gabacho. I'm unable to take you seriously.

cladclan

Seriously smoking is a hard thing to give up and it takes quite a man or women to kick it,lets please try to have some compassion!

Pulpofeira

To sum up: we have here a buffoon who says humour doesn't have a place on this forum while making lame jokes, and acusses others of making censorship while deciding what doesn't have a place on this forum. Bye, Ronald, actually I gave my advice about this ages ago.

OK, bottom line. I smoked 350.000 in my life from school until 3 years ago when I quit in one day afterI ran out, intentionally.

The more you smoke, the easier you can quit. I used to smoke 50 a day. Had coughing fits with my first one in the morning and my last one after a meal at night.

When a kid of around 10 asks his father who smokes 100 a day and he is so proud of him "Dad, When can I start ?"   Start what ? "Smoking". This father says only 3 words "Don't Be Stupid"

There is no such thing as cold turkey. I promise you. You stop because you have decided you want to stop, and you stop instantly just like that. It is like you never smoked in your life. After 3 days you will notice the stench from your carpets and curtains, however that goes away after a week or so. You will not miss it, no shivering or urges, nothing, I was surprised. However, you have to WANT to stop and not just just I WISH I COULD stop.

When you see and smell smokers afterwards, surprise, you will not feel disgust but pity.

One problem after stopping, the money you save is nowhere to be found.

I stopped smoking but also see all these empty whisky bottles around me. But I only drink whisky in the evening to relax, couple of tots to make other people more interesting.

I think it was Churchill who said " You don't drink ? Good grief, that means you will feel the same the whole day as when you woke up"

Churchill also told some woman at a function "Madam, you are ugly".

She said "Sir, you are drunk !"

"But tomorrow morning I shall be sober and you will still be ugly"
