The limited edition UKavape Competition blog post

Welcome to the blog post next to none will know anything about due to the fact that the bulk of the UK’s vapers are going to party in a field in Shrewsbury this weekend.

It’s a shame really as this is a “Competition” blog post.

What does a “Competition” blog post entail? Well, it looks very similar to normal blog posts but this one has the word “Competition” in it. Four times so far in fact.

Science Faction

Another new dripper is launched on the vaping market. Another three-post, airy dripper that aside from the cosmetics looks like almost every other three-post, airy dripper under the cap.

There’s a proliferation going on, these things are multiplying faster than the rabbits in my garden. One minute you see a couple of drippers but look away for a second and the electronic cigarette version of Gregor Mendel sneaks in and does a bunch of RDA genetic experiments.

Thunderbirds Are Go

Every episode began the same way: Barry Gray’s rolling drums and big horns combined with the thunderous numerical countdown provided by Peter Dyneley. In a small child this produced the same effect as when an adult hears the question “Shall we go to the pub?”

The plot probably doesn’t need explaining, surely there can’t be anyone alive not aware that this secret organisation carried out acts of daring do in order to save lives from mortal danger. And it all kicked off when we got to “1”.

Weird Science

“So, what would you little maniacs like to do first?”

Hands up, I’m emotionally stunted. After encountering the film Weird Science in 1985 I have wasted the intervening 29 years wishing for the day I could alter Kelly LeBrock’s assets on a computer screen. Science has been so quick to embrace ideas thrashed out by Isaac Asimov yet has treated John Hughes’ genius with utter contempt. Shame on you, men in lab coats, shame on you.

Making Mistakes

Non, Je ne regrette rien” sang Edith Piaf. I don’t regret anything either, I don’t think you can see life’s downs that way.

Motorbike, train, car – whatever, for me travelling is all about the journey and not the destination. It’s the events that happen on the way and the people you meet. It’s the stories you accumulate and the things you experience that give life its texture, that make it a life lived.
