[bigjohn62]

I'm assuming when you say there bigfella, you mean here? No dramas I'd have thought, unless the stogie-Police are out. Seriously though, you'd be fine mate, and a good time of the year approaches to do it

[bigjohn62]

I watched grand designs a couple of nights ago and the couple was restoring/re-designing an old 15th century castle in yorkshire, the view from one of the upper rooms which had a huge window over looking the countryside was stunning. Iv'e attached the view to this post, it does not do it justice, but imagine what it would be like to sit on your bedroom balcony and enjoy a cigar to this.

Its not everyones cup of tea, but it certainly is mine.

I saw it too, did you note that due to the mortgage they have to run it as a B&B. So you could get onto that balcony.

Block booking for a herf?

I was a tad unsure about the changes they made to the roof to begin with and more suprised english heritage ok'd alterations, but it ended up alright. you couldn't really see the roof above the battlements.
They didn't seem to move away from buildings original spec too much.

Port Jefferson, NY in Summer time
A Gourmet alfresco lunch at Danfords Restaurant overlooking the harbour, followed by a gentle stroll down the marina boardwalk to one of the seated pagoda's at the end, where I soak up the sun and enjoy smoking a large one while watching the world float by.
A couple of dollys serving light refreshments as well wouldnt go amiss either.

I was in a lock in last night with a great band and Edward Tudor Pole and guess what.... because it was a "private party".... we all smoked.... it was like the halcyon days of yore.

[Robusto]

Is that Ten Pole Tudor? I think it's spelt like that. I used to love them!

I was going to say back in a pub, just as someone said at the start. So a lock-in liberates, hey?!

I've been to Ronnie Scott's a few times over the years, and I used to love watching the artists with clouds and clouds of smoke passing above their heads. Somehow smoke adds to the artistry - even if it knackers the singer's lungs and shit.

Ah, Ronnie Scott's, last time I was there was in '87. Upstairs in the balcony with a Danish girl, only a few steps from the bar

[nicwing]

Ronnie's, Danish Girl, Bar..... Sounds like a few steps from heaven!

Eddie was the singer for Ten Pole Tudor. It was his band really. He's very enteraining and did a great set with a battered old acoustic guitar....

and yes...smoking galore!
