Remembering how much I used to enjoy a smoke, even though I gave up 30 years ago. (By the way do people still have nicotine stained fingers? I haven't noticed it for years, we used neat Domestos to get it off and it didn't half sting.)

I used to enjoy smoking very much too, hammondorgan. It never really felt like I was just doing it to kill cravings or out of routine or anything like that. I genuinely enjoyed every fag.

My goodness what's happened to this thread, have we stopped taking pleasure from the little thing in life? Pedalling home after being caught in a sudden rainstorm and throwing a towel over your soaked hair.

If you like dogs, you might try this sometime.

Gently stroke along the top of a dog's whiskers with the backs of the fingers of your hand in the direction the whiskers lie, just barely making contact as lightly as possible.

Observe dog's reaction.
