@Ivan le Fou what are the dimensions on this? Trying to get a sense of scale.

The painting is about 16x8cm, give or take.

One from last November. Met a load of old university mates in a brewery. Whilst drunk, I left the brewery for the antiques shop next door and bought a 1930s collection of the entire works of Charles Dickens, then took them back to the brewery in a box and carried on drinking.

That's a lot of Dickens you got yourself there...
you sure you can handle that many Dickens all at once?
?

I´ve just bought 2 cigarrette packets, Lucky Strike, 4,60 € each one...

I know, I should stop smoking.

No wonder one of our Interntional Cabin crew got caught smuggling rims of cigarette in Heathrow... thats a lot of money there

And here in Spain is cheaper than in Uk or France.

I remember when I was 18 yo that I could buy a Lucky Strike packet with 125 pesetas, that was 0,75 € !!!

One pack of 21 Luckies goes for 7,- € over here. I smoke about a pack a day. Do the math.

 

[Junglejim]

Remind me to bring the maximum amount of rims when i visit in Europe. a pack is around 1Euro here

 

[Marsch]

IIRC you're only allowed to bring about 10 packs per person. So don't except to get rich.

not to get rich, but I learned early that a pack or stick of cigarette can go a long way in building a relationship or just calming a situation.

I try to smoke 10 cigarrettes per day ; in a rutinary day I get it, but with more social life I reach easily a packet in a day (or more).

I used to smoke 20 a day but doctor has told me to stop because of slightly high cholesterol.
Trying to manage on 10 a day at the mo so moving towards stopping completely

Yes a nice cigar and a good scotch is a wonderful combo ? ?

 

[Kap]

S**t, those lucky strikes are cheaper than what I pay for a pack of cigs here in Minnesota, US. Average price is around 9.25 USD per pack. Thankfully I only smoke about a pack per week... When I'm not drinking of course...
