Tom German has finally joined the infamous YouTube pipe smoking community, with his first video below.
Tom has been learning a lot from YouTube puffers over the past few months, and hopes this video will give a little back to the community he’s begun to love so much.
“The pipe draws wisdom from the lips of the philosopher, and shuts up the mouth of the foolish; it generates a style of conversation, contemplative, thoughtful, benevolent, and unaffected…”
– William Makepeace Thackeray, from The Social Pipe
Not sure if Tom’s video confirms or contradicts this.
Confirms. I’ve never contradicted anyone. Not because of my inherent nature but because you can’t contradict in Kent. Just like you can’t lie in Yorkshire or feel in Buckinghamshire. Here is a quote to add to Richard’s quote:
‘I saw a fellow the other day smoking a foul American cigarette, so I tied gardening forks onto my legs and punctured his tyres.’
– Lord Cuthbert Clam
Here is another quote about Swanley leisure centre:
‘It looks great in Summer’
– unknown Swanley district councillor
