Despite my concerns about the Eldest moving away to Manchester, I think they may at least have some of the vibe sorted.

Their brother and The Girlfriend ™ popped round on their moving in day, and they all went shopping for some essentials*.

*They went to Afflecks (Palace) to buy a bong. Priorities.

The bong in question. Things have got more fancy since I was a kid.

West of Chicago, we used to take a one-gallon milk jug, cut the bottom off, put a Smoaking Buol into the screw-on cap - and submerge the rig in the kitchen sink up to near the top.

We'd pack ignite the Combustible Materials, then slowly pull the jug up, creating suction. Don't pull it all the way out of the sink... lest the Smoak you have captured escape out the bottom.

Now remove the cap, apply yer Lipps and inhale Jah's Fine Yarbs.

The Gravity Bong it is called.

Manchester has the much-loved Afflecks Palace. Chicago's equivalent is Maxwell Street, also home of blues music.
