[Bakunin]

Blatant disrespect for Saarf London and all Crystal Palace fans.

Would this be the time to mention that on of my forebears holds the record for the most goals scored against Crystal Palace in a single game?

Once put seven past their keeper in a single game. And didn't do badly in general, careerwise.

The article's just another example of the thousand word stare than comes to define the true Polly Filler columnist.

She'd have known exactly who it was, it's a one of the disses that kids use online, "who are you?". A bit like when she said, "this is why we can't have nice things". That's another internet thing, she's part of the first generation who grew up when the internet saturation started to increase. It's part of their language and identity. I think that is partly why you hear kids like Laurie literally say the words, "OH EM GEE".

Actually, that's another group for the wall: people who say "OH EM GEE".

She looks better in that photo than the ones where she poses with her effete rolled up cigarette.

effete rolled up cigarette.

Indeed, it is effete.

I used to get through four or five packs a day of these, proper workers' smokes:

My Nan smoked Woodbines, fingers like carrots she had - they were certainly sold without tips. Did Woodbine ever sell tipped?

I don't know to be perfectly honest. I was in single fingers when my granny smoked.I thought fags had to have a tip on by law?

 

[Bakunin]

Yes, they sold Woodbines with cork filters.

I also present the sheer ultimate, ultimate in rough fags which I got off a Russian sailor in Plymouth and felt like a chlorine gas attack:

Reacl machorka fags with cardboard filters:

Spent a whole evening on these and spent the later part of the night wheezing like a pair of bellows and chundering hideously.

 

[Firky]

Noted for its strong unfiltered cigarettes, the brand was popular in the early 20th century, especially with soldiers during World War I and World War II. A filtered version was launched in the United Kingdom in 1948, but was discontinued in 1988.

My mum smokes them. About 40 a day.

See? I'm right.

 

[Firky]

When I was at school some people would pick up discarded regal and B&H fag packs to put lambert and butler in. If you smoked L&B's you were a scummer.

Anyone remember the L&B adverts and how they tried to get rid of that PFWC image by having a bloke on a bilboard getting his L&B sparked up by a butler?

 

[Bakunin]

To be lit with an authentic (AUTHENTIC, mind you) WWI lighter fashioned from an empty cartridge case (preferably one used for fragging an officer, obviously).

Yeah, I used to pass one on Botanic Avenue all the time. Did you think the butler looked like Capt. Mainwaring?

 

[Firky]

Now you mention it.
