Magnet, Woodbines, Snuff

[Deleted member 1486]

Magnet - a beer and has alcohol in it, which makes it better than almost everything on Earth, except every other beer on the planet. Low alcohol, a bit too dark, a bit too thick (feels like a meal in a pint) and doesn't taste all that nice.

Woodbines - only ever smoked one, when I was about 14 years old. Never again! Cheap and nasty, like smoking road tar mixed with tree bark, grit, cyanide, radioactive waste and asbestos, unfiltered!

Snuff - tried it once, made me sneeze for an hour. Makes your eyes water. Rubbish.

So there you have it, I regularly compare my team to three things I can't stand. Oh and I'll have my chip butty without grease too thanks. :thumbup:

Anyone a fan of any of them? (or maybe, all of them??)

 

[Linz]

I can sup Magnet, don't think I'd manage a gallon of it mind.

The other two don't sound too impressive.

And I've had some pretty ropey nights out in Sheffield too

 

[SRBlade]

I've always wanted to go all three, nearly done the gallon of magnet, even if it is foul!

Don't know if woodbines are easy to obtain, and the same with snuff.

 

[sitwell]

Wilsons snuff ,really is nice actually.

Bogies can be a bit gross though.

 

[WhiteHawk]

Magnet - No thanks

Woodbines - Definitely not

Snuff - Yeh go on then, don't mind that.

 

[Ivanhoe]

I used to sup the odd pint of Magnet on match days (just because of the chant), I used to call at the boozer at the bottom of Shoreham Street, next to the old Bus Garage it were always full of Reg Varney look alikes...
As for Woodbines they were a rough old tab them bleeders..
The best way I ever had snuff was to dip the untipped end of a tab in it then light the chuff up, it made you as dizzy as the first time you ever inhaled a tab. Everytime..

 

[Kev Gee]

Snuff is getting quite popular now because of the smoking ban so ive heard.

magnet - Never had it. Doesnt sound very nice. Like 3 day old Bisto gravy perhaps?

Woodbines. had one when i was a kid. I nearly coughed up a lung. not good!

 

[i3lade4life]

Just imagine if we had to re-write the song today???
Snuff could swap for Coke
woodbines - weed
magnet - 15p per can Tesco bitter.

Has a great ring to it

 

[Sensiblade]

Magnet is my Fave beer of all time - love it!

 

[Mary Christmas]

Not too fused about the Magnet, fags, or indeed the greasy chip butty but I must admit to liking a bit up every so often and indeed you can "come fill me again".

Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Oooooooooooooooh!

Mary Mary you're so scary!

 

[TAMUS]

I always thought it was come THRILL me agen

 

[moDtheGod]

I don't smoke so I've never had woodbine or by extension, snuff. I actually really like Magnet, I just don't come across it all that often.

I believe the Sportsman sell it. Or at least, they did last week.

Edit: in plastic glasses

 

[moDtheGod]

Might have to start going in there then!

 

[MAQ]

Magnet: Love it, cant get enough. Not enough places sell it. A Gallon...... No problem. Eight pints would be easy.

Woodbines: Dont see the issue with them. Not as bad as people say. But then when youve smoked clove cigerettes in the south pacific, nothing can be that bad.

Snuff: Take it or leave it for me. Can make you sneeze, and personally i dont see the enjoyment.

GCB: Not a big fan of grease, except after a night out.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Magnet: Not a bad drop, but if I'm downing a gallon contact the hospital first and have medics on standby. So yes, but not a gallon!

Woodbines: The fag of choice for my grandpap for years. Nicked a couple when I was about 8, lit up and took a big drag. I saw stars, my lungs burst, my heart started calling SOS and my head went into orbit. Put me off smoking for life (bar the odd cigar!). Definite no for me!

Snuff: Had a great uncle who was into the snuff. Brown stained nasal hair looking like he'd been involved in some kinky anal/conk play. No thanks!

GCB: Love a chip butty now and again (though the thing I must have on any return is a fishcake). Yes, without the grease!

If it wasn't now a football institution, the words should be changed

 

[essex blade]

agree with you there SEB , a proper fishcake is always a must when returning to the homeland.

Magnet

I'm partial to a odd pint of it here and there and if there was nothing else available then i'm sure i could put a full gallon down my neck, although it does affect my digestive system, and a lengthy lavatorial excursion would be in order the next morning. A good place to find Magnet is in Working Mens Clubs.

Woodbines

I can't ever recall smoking a woodbine before, but a full packet would probably give me chronic bronchitis as by all accounts they are super strong, and despite being a smoker, my cigarette of choice is Marlboro Lights, a nice, light smooth tab without kick in it to give me a decent nicotine hit when required.

Snuff

The kingdom of my Grandad, it has absolutely zero benefit apart from making me sneeze a lot, and it is the creator of numerous brown bogies. For people not versed in the rituals of snuff, there is a unwritten snuff taking ritual that has to be observed at all times. The tin has to be tapped, before opened. Then you take a pinch out and place it on the back of your hand, and then a full snort is taken. Repeat with the other nostril and spend the following 30 minutes sneezing and the next 24 hours creating brown bogies.

 

[Darren]

Never had Magnet, Woodbines or Snuff. Never smoked and not all bothered by booze (I have no principled objection to booze, just not really my thing - if you told me tomorrow I could never drink alcohol again, it would not concern me in the slightest).

Before people start quoting the immortal words of Adam Ant to me:

"don't drink, don't smoke
what do you do?"

Can I say that I do have my own particular vice, which I believe is common knowledge in these parts.

Magnet - Never had it, don't have a real urge to try it either. I can do Guiness, most bitters and the odd lager (or 3) but Magnet doesn't sound appealing.

Woodbines - I smoke like a chimney and have had the odd bine but they're way too strong. I'll stick to me Benson Silvers (complete with fancy slide box) thanks

Snuff - Done it a few times, pretty pointless if you ask me but whatever floats your boat.

 

[bricktop]

Benson Silvers. The shiny box doesn't really make up for it being a Mayfair Light dressed up in a snazzy box.

Very true but you can't deny it's fancyness

I've smoked enough Marlboro Red and Lucky Strike to keep the stronger flavours on offer, time to kick back with a smooth offer.

Once had Ducatis is Spain :thumbdown:

 

[bricktop]

Ducati's, they are foul.

I once brought back 2,000 Leader's from Greece. I smoked about 20 of them on my return home, and flogged the rest and bought some proper fags with the money.

Where do you stand on Rollies?

 

[SwissBlade]

Brilliant post!

Magnet - Its alreight, but on a match day I drink Carling by the Gallon (big Glasses) at the Lion.

Woodbines - tried 1 once when i was about 17, just because of the song. I don't smoke and it knocked me for 6 ha ha

Snuff - They sell it in the Devonshire Cat, me and a few lads bought a load when we were there on a sesh after a match a couple of seasons back. Seemed alreight to start, so I bought about 4 or 5 tins. After a few mins the sneezes started.... I have 4 or 5 tins for sale if anyone wants to buy it off me!

Other than that I love the stuff!

I tend to stick to lager, night out in Sheff and Chip butties now...

I'm a fan of a roll up, mainly due to the fact it's all I remember of my grandad Used to watch him roll about 40 a day and knew I'd be a fan. Cutters choice if I'm resorting to rollies as a cost saving measure, though strangely I'm not a massive fan of filters with them.

 

[bricktop]

Yeah, i know what your saying.

I always keep an ESK (Emergency Smoking Kit), it has some Drum and a couple of packets of Rizla's (Green) contained within it in case i run out of fags and can't be arsed to go to the shop or in case i fall skint until payday and need some smoking materials.

Rollies are good as long as they are rolled right ( a bad rollie and you might as well not bother) but they can be a pain in the arse rolling especially if its wet or windy.

Not with you on Cutters Choice as it is rank, Drum is much, much better

Hehe!!!

 

[shorehamview]

Magnet's not a bad pint, when it's the nice cask stuff and it's kept properly.

Woodbines. Many years ago, as a Junior Smoker, I tried every flavour of fags in my local GT News at Banner Cross, along with a couple of mates. We worked our way along each shelf, buying ten of each sort of tabs, although not at once. The ones voted unanimously as the roughest by a country mile were, in no particular order, Capstan Full Strength, Senior Service and Woodbines. Truly these were "mester's fags" and not for the mere novice of 14 tender years. The staff were easily fooled by our assertions that we were old enough to buy fags despite two of us having paper rounds at the same shop.

Snuff is basically powdered tobacco sold with the sole purpose of making old blokes turn their hankies from pristine white to a mottled shade of greeny-brown. And always a cotton hankie, none of this tissue shite. It has no other use. You may as well sniff powdered brown poster paint.

 

[shorehamview]

Where do you stand on Rollies?

Tramp's fags. Like Berkeley are the cigarette of the pub cleaner, and Silk Cut Extra Mild the cigarette of the twat.
