DECEMBER 2009

Well Xmas is nearly here and another year is almost behind us. The site is better than ever and still going strong. (Thanks Eric).
Sightings are few and far between but at least I have seen one IRL holder user this year. That may be one more than a lot of other members. Maybe the site could consider adding an IRL album for real life smokers to add their pics.
Is it worth consideration Eric?

NOVEMBER 2009

For one moment I thought I could report a IRL sighting but it turned out to be one of those cigars in a holder which dont really count. Other than that I can only report a further decrease in holders in movies, serials, tv and literature. A sign of the times ( anti smoking times) and a disappointing end to the year. Smoking is being more and more ostricised and forced into the shadows by ridiculous laws and immorral politicians.

November 2009

Yet another month and even more dismal news on the smoking front in the UK. Cigarette machines are now being banned. The reasons being that of reducing access to minors I can understand but as most machines are situated in pubs I cant see why publicans cant simply be asked to locate them where minors will find it difficult to get at them. Talk about a nanny society.

New site is really looking and behaving great and Eric has made a wise decision to change to the new format. Hopefully it will generate new members, new comment and debate, new pics and new topics. Stories of IRL users are always something I enjoy reading as there are so few around in the UK. Once again I did see one on holiday in Greece this year briefly passing through our hotel on her way to a function, possibly a wedding, but I was unable to take a pic to back this up.
