     I tried that once in an AOL thing called "The Arena", I can't remember who the celebrity was, but I posed some divinely thoughtful, inspired, well-crafted question, and they chose one, instead, that querried her favourite colour, quelle banel. I had mentioned my web site in my question, hoping for some international exposure, but say-la-vee!

     Filled up the Ashton with Capstan and had a totally British drive home. Thanks to the wizardry of Ashton and Imperial Tobacco, that first smoke in a new pipe was sweet as a nut. Unfortunately I was forced by circumstances to drive a '95 Ford Escort wagon rather than a Roller, Bentley or Aston Martin, but say la vee.
