I'll take the stand that e-cigs are, in fact, douchy. Or at least bring out the douche in those already carrying the gene.

I was messing with them for a little while before I left the ex, so by default, I can't say speak ill of the practice. I ordered polyethylene glycol from China and was mixing it with various flavors and levels of nicotine. It was equally unsatisfying with nicotine as it was without, so I eventually gave up on it. The biggest issue I was having is that I couldn't find flavors like charcoal and mesquite BBQ, and I never really felt it in my throat while puffing the same way I'd feel toxic smoke from the real thing. So, I just stuck to rolling my own cigarettes.Quote:

The first was okay, but shit. I mean it vaguely qualified as an unbad way to pass the time. The other four were shockingly bad. Without doubt the worst series of books I've ever read.
I don't know if they're critically acclaimed, I would imagine so, but everyone I speak to thinks they're fantastic. Even if they haven't read them.
My conclusion, based on my taste alone, is that HGttG is the emperor's new clothes of sci-fi.

Jethuth cwithe, thank fook we scored a try.
It's obviously a bad thing if I stay in for an international, we're getting twatted and Halfpenny can't land a kick.
Been getting a lot of esoteric messages from various gods recently, this time it's loud and clear:
I should be getting mankered with the Babycham each and every time Wales play rugby.
Maybe they go better with apple.Quote:
I've no idea, I've only ever listened to the original (radio) play. The idea of converting that to a novel just seems mental to me.Quote:

Well. The converting went poorly. The 'humour' often made me cringe :earl:
I've often wondered why people think reading Shakeapeare's plays is in some way superior to say watching it as a fillum.
It's a play FFS, go and see it performed, and if you can't go and see a good fillum version.
It's what it was written as.
Not that they have all been made it's fillums, but a lot have.
