Yes, I did smoke it Emamum ... felt terribly nauseous after though ... still gotta' get through this burn I suppose. Made a second one, but the paper came unstuck after smoking it half way down. .. that was funny.

Sure I have one in the house somewhere .. left over by son (though what he was rolling, was never quite sure.. ) .. can't find. Daughter is very good at this, but treats herself sometimes on a Saturday night to a 'factory packet'.

Perhaps if you slip into a suede bikini, pop off to the nearest botanic gardens, and try rolling them on your thigh, you might have more success.

Eeew, do you think that would work, where's the nearest then ? ....

Now Margaret ... did say non smokers avert their eyes ... knew somebody would nag me to stop ...

Someone made a comment last night that roll-ups are not very ladylike ... umph ... why not ??... as long as I don't dangle it out of my mouth. MargaretR's cigarette holder idea appeals to me... posh like.. tee hee.

Thanks folks.
