PS I really appreciate Winston Churchill, his humor, courage, skills, etc ... 

Undecided I'm not sure about that.  macromarco13...it reads like you don't like Scotland or Spain & think people that never smoked can't hold a vaid opinion or contribute to a serious thread without making a joke.  Which you judge unfunny.  

Feeling hostile?  Obviously addiction is addiction & almost always bad for oneself or ones own.  Making folk unwelcome is not a good way for a self-help group to have meaning. 

marcosite

Ha! Perhaps you have humour after all.   Apart from the 'valid opinion' bit.  We all can have a take on things.  Churchill wasn't always witty either. Ole school nostalgia.  Surprised

marcosite

Gawd...I'm so old school that I only speak English. Frown  Really.  It's upsetting when I cross the border to Wales but there.  As for dear William? No relation. Phew.  Wink

Joke.  I know, not funny.  It's 'cos I smoke I think.  

marcosite

Surprised Don't be mean.

What are they speaking in Wales? Gaelic?

Pulpofeira

Who's Taffy? :)

marcosite

Surprised Taffy?  Bad to worse! 

....I think Welsh is related to Gaelic, Irish gaelic & scottish gaelic.  Maybe Cornish gaelic.  Where will it all end? 

Pulpofeira

Bobbies?

The river Taff, Mr pulp.  Come camping anywhere along it (with permission of course).  Wales is a beautiful place. Smile

marcosite

...almost as lovely as England.  

Pulpofeira

I bet you are right, but I'm more interested in taverns.

We still have one or two.  Tankards & everything. Smile

Pulpofeira

Sorry, Marco, I googled tankard and I found a German band of trash metal!

marcosite

No No No.  A Tankard is a precious thing.  Essentially, a cup of a certain size filled with local brew.  You could take your own to said Tavern & keep it behind the bar.  Often made of pewter & often inscribed.  It's an old tradition.  If you had one with a glass-bottem, you wouldn't be tricked into joining the British Navy.  But that's another story.  

Tankards are good. Laughing

Back in the day, obviously.  We don't conscript at all these days. 

Pulpofeira

I dont think they would want me in the British Navy...

Did you take the King's shilling marco?

Ha.  Couldn't pay me enough. I don't even like a boating lake.  Land, I see Land.  Wink

marcosite

...sorry, that was flippant.  Embarassed

I hate boats though & can't even enjoy Gorilla Island. (Longleat if you want to look it up!).  Big bad sea terrifies me. Terrified.  Innocent

marcosite

Cool  

Longleat is fabulous.  Just don't trust the monkeys, lions or toy-train.
