Where would you most like to smoke one off?

Canterbury Cathedral.
It's close to home, has lovely piped-in choir music when you take French and US friends round, and it has ample seating.

I'd love to rev one up and watch the thick clouds push through the shafts of sunlight and up up up into the high vaults.

Thomas a Beckett is asleep in a casket in there. He wouldn't mind.

There's a big whiff of candles and wax. I think Cubanic plague would complement it.

They'd have let Orson Welles. Why not me?

In the pub.

It has to be a rural scene for me, as a one off [Kipling's downs] or somewhere rustic, just sitting outside a village pub, no pylons, high rise flats or too many people to spoil the view.

I will give you two:

At our friends house in a small village near Grasse in the South of France, late June/Early July, Fantasic view across the valley, about 7.00 in the evening with the sun starting to go down, kids in the pool, LARGE glass of the local red, Barbeque on, Neil Young playing in the background, and the distinct prospect of some significant activity in the conjugal container later on. I've done it and there is nothing to beat it.

Sorry not to be more specific.....

Except possibly sitting at Franco's in Jermyn Street with a black tea and the freshest of Cigars and watching the women go by.

No I thought about it... it's France first!

Now if it was Amapola that was playing that would really set the scene for me

Are you sure dude?

[Mr Moore]

that view is absolutly stunning and I would agree with the young statement, I know its one of his bigger records but I love harvest moon, I suppose 'down by the river' would be more apt though, I love the guitar riff in middle end of that track.

I think this is my fav thread, I just love nice views !! good for the soul.

You inspired me to find an even better picture (added to original post)

I love Grasse and those hinterlands, Nic. Le Paradou.
My hang-out is more towards Aix-en-Provence, but anywhere set back a bit in Provence is stunning.

the conjugal container
LMFAO

[Ramon]

How about here?

I've swam in the large pool there.

LMFAO

I was going to save this for the "what makes you laugh" spot, I can't claim it form myself, it's from Peter Tinniswood's tales of the cricketing folk of Whitney Scrotum.

I particularly like "...I slipped out of the house, leaving the lady wife in bed, seam up"

I am new to this stuff so (assuming it's rude) you need to send me a private message explaining LMFAO, or am I being thick?

Sorry Bryan, bit arse about face here, read your last post first, the village is Montauroux, just to the west of Grasse near Fayence, a little bit of heaven.

I believe it means Laugh My Fucking Arse Off.
That's what I was once told when I asked. Just like you.
