Dark bounty versions were fastest due to the added coco content  |

I reckon embassy is closest as they smoke like a b*****d and below 5k they are like a 50 a day smoker with emphysema

...I used to smoke Embassy Regal....till they went to £5 a packet.
A couple or so years ago, I was going to Edinburgh on the train, so I went into the kiosk at Central Station in Glasgow and thought, fek it, ill buy a packet of Regal for old times sake......£11 they were, .... and I payed it !
I used to be able to buy them legally, over the counter, in Gibraltar for 60p
My dad used to smoke Senior Service, plain fags, with no tip on them,........I often used to get sent to the shop for them, and mabey if I was lucky, got told "Get yourself a sweetie for going." ........ :-)

Used that Nicorette stuff, and broke the habit cycle (cycle prob more important than niccorette) Resisted temptation to stop at newsagent and used Fruitellas as substitutes. You know you've cracked it when you pass a newsagent and don't think off tabs. You know how minds work so you have no fookin excuse...  PS I started when 10 Park drive were 9p. |

I like them all, I have The Professionals on just now, the one with "Tinkerbelle" in it. :-) Different times back then ! Steven. PS. You remember Cowley (Gordon Jackson) out of The Professionals ? Saw him the other day in the origonal black and white "Whisky Galore" film on the telly, he looked about 14 years old ! I see there are now re-makes of Whisky Galore, but I have not seen any of therm, the origonal one must be in my top ten fav films of all time. ...the true story of "Whiskey Galore" ......... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Politician en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_Galore!_(1949_film) I have a mate who lives in the Islands, and he tells me there is a pub up there, that still has some of the bottles of whisky from the SS Politician above the bar. :-) Steven. |
