Summary of key moments so far

That is pure class Bruce - I don't really need to say more.

I don't smoke, so I'll go and have a brew up instead.

Thank you so much for checking in, Stuart. A crazy moment from 2010 and my German by way of Kansas girlfriend was being at Disneyland which may look like vintage America with brass bands and barbershop quartets but bans all smoking and wisely so on park premises. There is one spot in the park where smoking is permitted and having found it we also found a man there from Virginia (not making this up) who grew his own tobacco and rolled it into perfectly constructed filter tips. This was akin to going to a brewery and tapping the source itself in many ways. But I am glad those days are over.*



Cheers, mate.

*Possibly too much information but it is Friday and I am on a sugar rush from pancakes.

[Stuart]

That is awesome - although I don't recall what film he's from Was one of Snow White's dwarfs called smokey? (ok I admit not a very good pun but I'm lacking in sugar-rush inducing pancakes - and now I want some)

[speedgraflex]

Haha, nice, mate! Wasn’t Smoky... Jackie Gleason?

[Stuart]

Good one!

I love that film - When I was a kid I wore out my Dad's VHS (he's a trucker) tape and had to get him another. I still know the words to the intro song off by heart!

So good! Reminds me: have you seen “Duel” directed by Spielberg? We just watched it kinda by accident on a chiller theater channel.

Watched it last year for the first time on Prime - Excellent film!

[speedgraflex]

Great! We thought so, too. I would like to “Sugarland Express” by Spielberg next.

Not seen that one, looks good - one to watch the next time my son gets me up at 4am

[speedgraflex]

4am — That is an early call time!
