Out of Tobacco !

[pipelover]

Not really, but I started to fill up ...... no more tobacco in my pouch !
Luckily, I had an emergency stash of a few bowls in my napsack, which has all my gubbins in !
So I'd put in: Gold block, and the remainder was Clan.
An unusual but tasty way to smoke ??

Mixing up the crumbs from a couple pouches is always fun. Sometimes you discover something pretty amazing.

What are you talking about, for those of us who speak American English?

I'm proficient enough to know that a boot is a trunk but you lost me at gubbins, which my American spell check keeps changing to gibbons.

Did your UK spell check change gibbons to gubbins?

odds and ends, bits and bobs... small things or gadgets, usually of little value except to the owner.

I wasn't sure what bibs and bobs meant so I looked it up on YouTube. Judging from what I found, it seems that small things of little value except to their owner is what that means in Australia, too.



Before today, I didn't realize that you speak Australian.

I wouldn't call Gold Block of little value. Heck, I'd take a bowl of it if someone offered it to me.

I buy more than I smoke.

Tobaccos are like shiny trinkets to me.

See it, buy it, jar it up, totally forget about it. Smoke more Carter Hall.




OK, it's not quite that bad...

Ok you guys:
English we spoken it !
Gubbins: (AKA) Bits & bobs .....Pipe cleaners, Tampa knife, Odd tissue for nose in cold weather. (Pipe windshield, how could I forget it!)
Several lighters.
Ginnel: Narrow passageway between houses or shops. This must be beyond belief as you just have sprawling Kmart areas !
Our Kid: Wife, Brother, Son, Daughter
Lathered: Warm & glowing (Horses sweat, Men perspire, Women Glow). Usually happens when told, sorry we've run out of beer,
or, that blend wont be in for a month.
Ey up, How you fettling, Nah then: warm local greeting to women, children, and animals.

Please feel free to contact me with any mithers (queries).

Yep.

Another greeting Man to Man, (only oop north) is: hello love ! (oop north is proper pronunciation)

Well, breaking news, I've sold one of my QuintexDr. Plum pipes for $16.00
My other is still on Ebay, and has a fine crack on the ferrule.

I once met, while out with my first wife, in Hong Kong (I call her that, it keeps her on her toes) a tourist Australian, who asked if I spoke english.
My dear sir, I said, we invented the language !!
