We have an old thread a few pages back called ‘Faces of Snuffhouse Members’ with photos of most of the people involved that time. Now we have a shed load of new people so - let’s see you on that old thread. And (you know who you are!!) a few members didn’t get round to posting so (Pieter, Rodercik and others) lets have a picture please. It humanises things and stops us being just screen names. Of course some people just want that so thats cool too, seriously! When you look through it’s interesting as most of the male members look as though they are about to play a gig in a metal band.

Here’s the link to the thread snuffster mentions Faces Of SnuffHouse Members

Perhaps it might be a good idea to start again on this thread? Pictures tend to slow the page loading & there were quite a few pages of pics on the last one…

Yes think your correct on that toffeenose. I linked the old thread just to let new members have a look at the old mug shots. I hope new members post on this new thread that snuffster just started.

Haven’t been able to upload any pics lately. Will someone else try to post a pic, of anything, to see if it’s the system or just me?

Patrick it’s the website it won’t allow you to post by the attachment. This whent the last time the site went down. You can only post via a hosting website.

My first snuff experience

A hosting web site? Well now where do I get one of those?! Does it cost money? Are there plans to fix the attachment method? I have enough problems getting pics from the camera to my computer and then to here as it is. Bart- are you using a hosting website?

Yes, it took me a while to figure it. Photobucket is free to put your pictures on there. Then when you right click on a picture that is on photobucket, hit properties, copy the address, then come to this site and paste it in the display you get in the top left corner (when you have clicked on the tv looking screen there above the input box ) Took a bit of experimentation for someone like me who lacks a bit in the computer area, Patrick! May the force be with you…

Thanks Bart and Snuff Head. Now let’s see if this works…

From this summer making a lampFrom last week with my pipe

Me Snufster

Im too stupid to post my own picture so will have to wait til one of my IT aware buddies helps out.

Guess it’s time I add something…

Yep, you look like a snuffhouse member. Thanks Bart.

There we are snuffster, I can do almost anything! Folks this is snuffster…If your ever in London, then keep on the right side of the law…

Thanks my dear IT assistant!!

Your more then welcome my friend.

This is me in a pub, posing for an artist who wants to paint my portrait - she insisted on the suit, hat and snuff. I insisted on the pint of bitter.

Wow, you carry all of those out to the pub? I guess that suit has a lot of pockets. I count 16 snuffs! If I carry 4 out, I’m considered extravagant. I think that Dean Swift tin was here once. Whoo hoo! Now I’m famous!

Well I do carry a lot of snuff around but not usually that much, and yup, that’s the Dean Swift you sent me! The artist wanted me to bring a selection of wooden boxes & cool-looking containers, so I might possibly have overdone it! She’s started painting the picture, if I get a jpeg of it I’ll post it here when its done.

A Nice crisp, clear picture of you, Toffeenose! (damn, I knew I should have dresses up too. I look like ‘Joey Stink-Eye, King of the Hobos’ in my photo!)

Bart - you look fine. I just look as though I make moonshine in a swamp. Great picture Debbie, that would make an excellent portrait.

debbie that is an awesome tye.

I tried to past a jpg of me, but I have no idea how to post a picture.

@Bart What kind of car is that a VW beetle? kind of small looks like a very nice one though

@toffeenose… RUDE BOYS>>>>>>>>>>>>RUDE BOYS! Your dressed like a moon stomper eh?

@ibook7537 It’s a '65 bug, my second car I had, and probably my favorite too. I tried to whisper you to ask what type of straight six you’ve got on your photo, but my computer won’t let me . I had a '51 deluxe with a 216 and a spare 235 out of a 1955 chevy pickup to swap out into it. (Had to sell the car recently, though.)If you built that engine, it’s one hell of a job! 1965 40HP, 1200 cc (ironically the same as a Harley Davidson!)

@Nachman As long as your photo has some type of ‘address’ when you right click on it and then hit properties, you should be able to post it. I put some rough directions up above–let me know if I can help further.

That is a picture of a Ford 240 with a ton of clifford stuff on it. I wish it was my engine but its not just a clifford build on there site, when I start making some real money I want to do that to either a chevy 250,292 or a Chrysler 170 (slant six). I jsut liked the set up of the weber carbs on it. I really like the straight 6’s. I really like the German stuff too. My uncle had a 1974 Porsche Carrera Targa, flat six but really bloody nice car. He also has 2 65 corvair turbo convertables thats how I learned to drive a stick. I only hope to be able to do something like that one day.

Thanks for the compliments, fellas. @ Bob: Thanks - it’s original '60s, I think. I picked it tie up at a music festival this summer for £2.00 - bargain, huh? @ snuffster: I think you look waaay cool in your pic - very nice tats too. (I said TATS!) @ nightcap: RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE BOOOOOOYS!!! You knows it.

LOL!!

Well at least we have similar taste in ties if not equal luck in finding decent ones.

Here’s one of Me, Mrs. WickedKitchen, and my two little kitchens.

heh I own that same background. I have it in brown also.Probably most of you midwesterners know where this was. Just a grabshot.

Thought I’d bump this one too, which has some more recent photos…

Thanks Bart, I was about to as I did in December.

Snuffhead, would you be able to put Toffeenose’s picture and painting together side by side. That would be really neat…i figure you are able to do that

The Photo:- The Painting:- Done Edit: not side by side, that would take to much time.

Ah yes, the inevitable flat beer… I must say I do like that painting.

Neat painting

This painting is GREAT! In some way reminds me my student years and those magical dealers that can make your dreams come true if you are ready to pay for that. No I don’t think of drugs or other nasty things. I am speaking about men and women of honour! What they say will happen, it do happens! If they can’t do it, they refuse to get the money. Those ladies and gentlemen dealers were great and doing a fair business. I miss them. Now everybody tries to cheat everybody, which is sad. P.S. Sorry I had some drinks and I am exposing some fair thoughts. EDIT: Just to help you imagine how great those guys were 6 years ago I dealed with one of them - Me: I want a new job. Dealer: Please specify your skills and job you want. Me: Saying what I can and what I want Dealer: OK 50$ Me: Ok! (giving him the money) Dealer: (Writing something on a piece of paper) giving it to me and saying “contact this guy” six years later, I’m still on that job and I love it! The Best Deal in my life I can say!

For a true Yorkshireman, that is flat London beer. But I do like the painting.

Yorkshire produces the best ale in the world, hands down. I’d be more than happy if the only beers I could get were Timmy Taylors Mild and Landlord. P.S. Excellent painting !

Thanks, Snuffhead. Excellent painter, whoever it is…

Hey! What’s wrong with London beer! There is nothing wrong with our beer I’ll have you know!

LOL! If you like it, then you are welcome to it. I lived in London for a time and came back home as I missed the head on my beer.

Quick, someone convert this to a painting!!!^^^^^^^LOL!

@Bart LMAO… I think that would make a cracking painting! ‘La Snuff Head.’ Could possibly sell for millions! @Snuff Head. Well, each to their own I suppose. A nice head of about an inch, maybe just a tad more is nice. Otherwise it’s just wasted space for more beer! Haha.

@ Snuffin, Did you know up here at one time they was going to kill our beer head, because the pub trade was frightened that they could get done for selling under a pint. Us Yorkshire lads wanted a good head and a pint. What the trade did was get larger glasses to keep us tight Yorkies happy.

@ Snuff Head: Thanks for putting the pic & photo up together! And yes, the beer is flat - but it was still tasty. Mind you, I was coming down with a cold that day so my taste buds could have been a bit lethargic.

Just to clear something up, “flat beer” is the way it should be drunk in London. I’m from the north of England, but now work as a brewer in Essex. Forcing beer through a tight sparkler forces the carbonation out of the beer towards the head and also removes a lot of the volatile hop aromas. For a low hopped mild or standard bitter that’s fine, but if you really want to appreciate the hop flavour, request the sparkler gets taken off. I used to infuriate landlords in Cumbria by asking for this to be done, and really I shouldn’t have bothered because it reveals how overly malty, sweet and under hopped some of the northern ales are. Not trying to stir things up, it’s just my tastes.

What is meant by the term" sparkler"?..(.sorry, I’ve never heard the term in my area.)

I hate “southern beer”, not the beer per se but the fact it is flat. Can’t beat a good old “northern pint” IMO, I won’t drink beer any other way, even abroad. Stefan

@Walrus1985 hello “up-north” from “down-south”

@Snuff Head - Really? That’s crazy! I like a little bit of a head but not too much, Like I said, inch to a inch and a half. I drink Kronenburg though. Tend to drink that. Or I am partial to a bit of bitter. A nice pint of tetleys is always a good choice. @Stefan- I tend to drink mine before it goes flat Or at very worse, the last few mouthfals are flat. Suppose it’s just what you are used to at the end of the day.

Bart, a sparkler is a plastic perforated cap that is screwed to the outlet of the handpump dispenser. The pressure generated forces the dissolved carbon dioxide out of the beer and towards the “head”. Without it you get a beer with a small head, which actually has more condition or ‘fizz’ than a beer drawn through a sparkler because it has been agitated less. The sparkler makes a smoother pint because it has less fizz and a creamy head . Traditionally beer from the north of Britain was more full bodied and malty and less hoppy because hops were grown in the south of England, whilst beers from the south were more hoppy and bitter. The sparkler enhanced the creamy nutty maltiness, whilst the southern beers had their hoppiness enhanced by being less agitated.

Thanks, Alexander Sounds like the little airator on a water faucet. Well, that’s different…and seems to be definite opinions on which is better,LOL!

And it is pumped out to warm in London, it’s so crap.

@ sandy130674<, you may brew beer but if you brew it for the locals,well you may please them. But it is crap, and your talking crap. We up here have good strong full hops beer. Not the dishwater that is consumed in the south of England.

Oh! to toffeenose, Debbie, so pleased you like me putting your photo and that nice painting together.

@Snuffhead & Sandy I will mail you both samples of warm " Burger Beer" and then we can all agree on what crap is. The motto years ago used to be ‘sparkle brewed’ which means the brewmaster relieved himself in the wort…

Bart LOL, do that, and then Sandy and I will agree, if it’s that bad!.

The not so funny thing is my Grandpa worked at Burger here in Cincinnati years ago and that’s what I started out drinking-Top Hat, Burger, Christian Moerlein, and Weidemann ‘hand grenades’. Now, all beer is good beer to me.

One of my favorites out of Indiana, no longer made. Sorry , I’m OT.

As horrid as they are (bad reputation?), I love Little Kings. I wish I could get them down here, I’d guzzle them by the case.

After being all but weaned on Northern beer I have to come to the defence of the South! Yes it’s a bit flat and yes some of the beer down here is crap, but after living in Bristol for little over 6 months I’ve found some fantastic beers down here! Absolutely on par with Sam Smith’s, et al. Try anything by Badger, Bath Ales, or the Bristol Beer Factory and you won’t be disappointed EDIT: And, as this is the pictures thread, here you go…

Calling the beer I have brewed all my working life as crap is a bit offensive, Snuff Head. But then you must know all about crap if you live in Hull.

I was talking about southern beer in general Sandy. As I haven’t tasted your brew, I can’t comment on it.

@Tc whereabouts are you? I’m in Derbyshire, between Chesterfield and Alfreton. Stefan

pah british beer, humbug.

Ah right you really are the midlands then TC. We prefer to call ourselves northerners even though we are in the geographic centre of England. In fact Morton, which proudly announces itself as the centre of England is only 2 miles from me, and Spitewinter, the centre of the UK is only 7 miles in the other direction. Stefan

@ GoldenBoy, they did try to get in a Swiss beer here and it got the name of Swiss Piss. it was taken out after about 6 months. OK, it may not have been the best out there, but keep making the watches.

English ales are great, North and South. Pity can’t get them on tap here, but offies have good selections.

@Snuff Head: Not to speak for Goldenboy, but I believe that he is German, but lives in Switzerland. And IMHO… Germans make the best beer. Can’t beat purity laws.

Hence the “IMHO”

This is like saying that the English make the best shmalzler and the Germans make the best SPs. There are some really outstanding beers (of varying styles) in all the beer regions. Apples & Oranges. Anyway, I like Belgian beers best of all, but I’ll drink anything that’s not too yellow.

Mmmm… Belgian beer is pretty tasty. Wittekerke’s and an orange slice… please!

Smith’s Brown Ale.

Just to stir things up a bit as this thread devolves, but I’d put the Pacific Northwest beers in the “pepsi” challenge any day.

Here I am getting my picture taken by my sister during a family dinner, just after sniffin Dholakia White a little too hard.

Here i am after 2 pinches of White elefant 41 :). best regards, Holonmax

lol about the beer issue, it was only a joke. When I was near Oxford I had good beer and amazing ciders so I do appreciate english drinks. And now another bottle of kölsch, my beer of choice. And Snuff Head something we can agree on, Swiss beer sucks mostly ass. There is a good one brewed with glacier water and and hop that is grown in the alps. Cant recall the name right now. Again I didnt mean to insult any one.

Is White Elephant similar to Dholakia White?

Judging by the pictures, the effect looks similar to me ,LOL

Ah… Kölsch! Now that is good beer. Lots of happy memories (and some rather fuzzy) of drinking Kölsch in Köln.

Bart, I never tried Dholakia White ( i am waitting for my samples to arrive ),but i will get it and i will have two pinches of it, i will post another photo and you will tell if you see any difference lol

Haha, yea, I will give the Elephant a try when he becomes available…careful with the Dholakia, Holonmax!

@ermtony Greets from Köln! Yesterday I just drunk a bottle of the lecker Reissdorf Kölsch! But I miss my Tennents Special, or Calders I always drink when I’m home in Glasgow… Scott

Here are pictures of me, my Linn/Proac stereo before I upgraded to the Klimax Kontrol preamplifier, and my car. Back in the old days, that was all a young man needed.

here’s me

HI guys - and a more recent pic of me as well :o)

Bump a slightly newer thread…
