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. They persistantly ban smoking in public places and ban advertising on the basis of reducing NHS costs yet still allow hospital patients to stand outside and smoke alongside the nurses and doctors. If smoking was so bad then why not simply ban cigarettes? No that would make a big hole in government coffers and votes. Then leave it alone and let people make a decision of their own choice.
The site continues to develop but the annoying video clips are still spoiling the view on the page. Why not put them down there with the pics? probably same reason the front page is exclusive solely to 2 persons !!
To stay positive we have a great selection of pics on the gallery and if anyone wants to know how to view them all very quickly then PM me and I will let you into a secret. In fact there are a few secrets I can tell you which make the site fun.
I notice Eric wants us to publish stories but where? I have quite a few and they are very good but..... pm me.
Hey have a great Xmas and New Year and keep posting and chatting ... lol.... maybe 2010 will bring out some new topics. Stay safe.

It seems one cannot make comment without it being taken out of context. Someone presumed that I wanted my blog on page one but that is purely an incorrect assumption. Do ignore it. I support the site as much as anyone and contribute with images and debate. I have been a member and supporter of the site for many years and yes I would like to see more chat and debate on the forum but that is simply my own personal opinion and nothing more. Members will respectfully do their own thing and that is their freedom of choice.
The video clip on the home page appears on my screen in the top left corner overlapping the header for topics made. I have tried to alter my screen without success. Its no big deal.
