baha, I wonder if there is some karmic/cosmic balance that needs to be fed with sacrificial virgins/vices, that balances itself by giving some poor bastard on the other side of the world a sudden desire to take up smoking.. It's a bit of a freaky thought really.

Thanks for the encouragement troops, I really appreciate it.

I like good news. Particularly about people doing things that improve their lot. Well done, Kro.

Do they still make those? The name brings back memories of my seventh-form year: Mild Sevens for morning tea, Camels for lunch. And I haven't smoked since.

I've sent you a PM Kro regarding Coeliac Disease.

I strongly suggest you look into confirmation of this disease - having a child recently diagnosed with it I can't begin to tell you the huge difference it's made in his life.

Wonderful to hear you're on the mend.

Yeah, they're huge over in Hong Kong and Japan. Hehe, that's pretty much 7th form over there, too...

How could you miss that bloody Benetton Formula 1 whizzing around for years, with the great big `MILD SEVEN' painted on the side?

EDIT: Nice work, Kro -- sometimes everything just comes together, and your life is beautiful for a bit. Wish my father would do the same as you, he's smoking/drinking/crap-eating himself to an early grave. He's having fun while it lasts, though -- he has a bike, which you didn't have before, lol. Glad to hear the DR250 is back on track, I enjoyed that thread.
