I think I've discovered why Luxor married and English woman..

I've never encountered the third example in that picture, not even a Welsh one, so I doubt they exist. A mythical being like the Yeti.

The meerschaum pipe seemed to be always wet. I can't really explain it.

Know what you mean, I've had a pipe in the past that was like that. It was a bit unpleasant when smoking it.

That's a classy!  :yes:  Does it take a little bit to get used to, because of it's length?

When it arrives I'll let you know. The postman didn't have it when he delivered the mail today.

Good news today! Took Clint to the vet for a follow up glucose check after taking him off of the juice, and his numbers are still good!
So no more having to shoot the cat twice a day. I think he's happy with that notion...:)


Ok...so how do I drop a picture in here? :(

That's great. I bet Clint is more than happy with that.

You are spoilt for choices buddy.
First off, of course you will have to host the image somewhere like imgur but you probably already knew that.
When it's hosted at imgur you have a choice of links to use. The Linked BBCode is the quickest, which you just copy and paste into your post.
Picture and link code below.

Code: [Select]
[URL=http://imgur.com/8HCyWY3][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8HCyWY3.jpg[/IMG][/URL]



Or you may prefer using the insert image option when replying to a post here. So you would just use the direct link and it's put into the image tag like so.

Code: [Select]
[img]http://i.imgur.com/8HCyWY3.jpg[/img]



If your image is hosted at dropbox, you would have to make the image public and you copy the public link and use insert image when replying to the post, like so.

Code: [Select]
[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/253164678/Kissfriend.gif[/img]



Hope that helps.

Ok...the picture is at Dropbox. I right-clicked on it and selected "Share Dropbox Link" clicked on the "Insert Image" button here and pasted the link in.
What step did I miss in this dance? Do

I have "Copy public link" when I right click on mine, not "Share Dropbox Link".  ???
Do you have your image in a public folder? If not create a public folder and put them in there.
See "Creating a Public folder" about a third of the way down this page. Linky.
I think (though I may be wrong) that  "Share Dropbox Link" is all that does, gives you a link to share with folk and they click on it and view it in their browser, I don't think you can use it to embed images, could be wrong though.

There does appear to be another way to do it. If you don't wish to use a public folder. But it takes a few more steps.
Get your  "Share Dropbox Link" and paste it into your reply. Like so:-
Code: [Select]
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x3r0n5o52q1anaa/angrycat.gif

Remove the "www" part and replace it with "dl" Like so:-
Code: [Select]
 https://dl.dropbox.com/s/x3r0n5o52q1anaa/angrycat.gif



Now you can copy that link and use it when you use "insert image"
Just like this.

I did notice that difference between what I had put out and what you were displaying. Let's try it out...



VICTORY!!!!
Now I know about enough to become dangerous...hehehe...
Thanks Luxor!

Then my work here is done. 
I don't think that's an officially supported way of using your dropbox links though, so don't blame me if it suddenly stops working.

Only alchemists have that power.

No thanks, never liked them.
I think that video is the guys best chance of getting rid of it though, as he may be able to convince some poor fool with it.

Yes I have. Verdict is, it's excellent.
You get a really cool smoke with it, compared to the usual length pipes. Wish I'd bought one a long time ago.

Hope you're not expecting me to go and try and find my camera just to take a picture of a pipe.
But here's a picture of it anyway.

If I ever switch to pipe I'm getting that one

It's a nice sized bowl too, holds a bit more tobacco than my other pipes. It's rapidly becoming my favourite pipe.

A handsome pipe...:) I have been thinking of re-visiting pipes as a smoking option. Just seems like a lot of work for a good smoke. Or have I just been doing something wrong?

It's a bit more work than taking the wrapper of a cigar, right enough. 
Quote from: expatri on

Only if you were trying to fill the pipe by pushing the tobacco into the bowl via the stem. But I doubt that's the case.
It's just one of those things that the more you do it, the less you think about it.
