    That Chap Evading the Authorities in Northumberland

    Lol, I refer you to my previous post :) BTW from what I saw from the goings on behind the reporters on our local news, the road block cops were checking and searching vehicles going into Rothbury but not out?!? It could be that his kid/s are in foster care and in Rothbury? just a thought. Kev.

    Pipe smoking/making

    Wilst were on the subject, what's the general opinion as to a good packable pipe (eg a pipe that can be taken along for campfireside smokes) ? I'd go with a Falcon with a meer lined bowl as the bowl is removable (takedown lol) and a meer lined bowl shouldn't hold onto ghost flavours. Kev
