The northlondonhippy

Do you dream of win­ning a slightly used bong? Well, click here and be one step closer to real­is­ing that dream!

Hello kids, how’s life out there in inter­net­land? We’re vir­tu­ally neigh­bours, here!

I’ve just arrived home from work on this rainy and grey Sat­ur­day morn­ing, hav­ing just briefly seen the most amaz­ingly per­fect rainbow.

Ya see, how can life be bad when you’ve just seen a per­fect rainbow?

Christ on the cross, but am I a proper hippy some­times or what?

Or what.

The main rea­son I’ve logged in and blogged on is that now that I’ve spent some qual­ity time with all my new RooR good­ies, I thought I might pro­vide you with my more con­sid­ered impres­sions of this finely crafted glassware.

And that’s where I stopped writ­ing on Sat­ur­day morn­ing. It’s Sun­day morn­ing now, a full 24 hours later.

Ain’t time travel amazing?

I’ve just arrived home from work again; only today it’s sunny and bright, but you didn’t come here for the daily north Lon­don weather report, did you?

You want to know about RooR!

My first pur­chase from RooR was the “Mini Steam­roller”, which is a very inex­pen­sive piece and is well within reach of every­one read­ing this. It costs less than seven quid. All you need to add to that is this glass gauze for another £1.50 and you have one of the smoothest hit­ting small pipes I’ve ever had the plea­sure of smok­ing from!

My next pur­chase was the RooR “Pocket Friend” which is admit­tedly on the pricey side, but an amaz­ing look­ing pipe. My ini­tial reac­tion to this pipe was slight dis­ap­point­ment, but now that I’ve had a bit more time to really get to know it, I can say that it too is quite good. Con­sider that my con­sid­ered, revised opinion.

But is it worth the sev­enty quid price tag?

That, my friends, is a mat­ter between you, your per­sonal god and your per­sonal accountant.

I thought I was your per­sonal god, anyway!

I think the crafts­man­ship and func­tion­al­ity are both top-notch and one does get what one pays for, but I do appre­ci­ate for a touch more money, you could buy a full sized bong.

Ok, it’s a lux­ury, but not a necessity.

I know it’s expen­sive, but if you want a nice RooR pipe for chill­ing out while watch­ing tele­vi­sion, this is the per­fect one!

The rea­son it is so good, I think, is two fold; firstly, it uses a nor­mal RooR bowl and glass gauze, which are extremely good, and sec­ondly, because of the large cool­ing cham­ber and smoke path, it hits like a dream!

Mainly, it really fucks you up and lets face it, isn’t that why we all smoke dope?

We do all smoke dope, don’t we?

I was just using the Pocket Friend and I am quite nicely toasted. That’s gotta be wor­thy of a yippppeee!

You know, I haven’t requested a “yipppeee for the hippy” in ages. I can’t remem­ber the last time I did actu­ally. So how about one for old time’s sake?

Go on, gimme a yipppeee!

Thank you, I really needed that.

We now resume the reg­u­larly sched­uled programme.

After the Pocket Friend, I went for a full-on bong, the “Lit­tle Sista Ice Mas­ter 5.0” which I’ve now used a few times.

I can state, cat­e­gor­i­cally that it is by far the best bong I have ever smoked from and that’s really say­ing something!

Part of the rea­son my Lit­tle Sista is so good is that I added two optional bits of kit. I bought this RooR Dif­fuser and this Molino Pre-Cooler, which dra­mat­i­cally changed the way this bong smokes. It hits like heaven must feel!

If there was a heaven.

The dif­fuser soft­ens the smoke as it comes through the down­pipe; it is the down­pipe, only the end is sealed and then punc­tured with lots of lit­tle holes, which is what soft­ens the smoke as it passes through the water in the base of the bong.

The pre-cooler slots into the ground glass joint of the down­pipe and holds a small amount of water, into which its own down­pipe resides. And at the top is the bowl, filled with my favourite smok­ing mixture.

Ok, it’s pure, freshly ground, skunky bud, but you could use any­thing you wanted.

Why would you want to use any­thing else?

The pre-cooler, as the name sug­gests, adds an addi­tional level of cool­ing, as well as fil­tra­tion. It also catches any ash that might fall into the down­pipe, keep­ing it from clog­ging up the base of the dif­fuser and also keep­ing the water in main cham­ber of the bong fresher, longer.

I do like the Molino Pre-Cooler, but I am think­ing of order­ing the RooR ver­sion, called the RooR Ash Catcher 5.0 Black. Again, it’s not cheap, but it would be hand­made to a very high stan­dard. Mainly, I am think­ing of get­ting it because it is clear, which would make it eas­ier to see how much smoke is in it.

Plus, it would match the Lit­tle Sista bet­ter and RooR is as much about style as it is functionality!

All of this praise is to serve as an approved endorse­ment from the northlon­don­hippy for all things RooR.

If you smoke dope, you owe it to your­self to invest in some of this fan­tas­tic glass­ware. It will last you a life­time and pro­vide you with years of smok­ing pleasure!

And if you are feel­ing really rich, per­haps you could order the new RooR cus­tom, “Lit­tle Sis­ter White Lines 5.0” which sells for a cool £360, but is a work of art!

And please note, though I do love my new RooR good­ies, obvi­ously other bongs and pipes work too.

For exam­ple, the Black Leaf bong I’ve quite gen­er­ously offered as the prize in my lat­est wild and wacky con­test. It hits like a moth­er­fucker too! Who­ever is lucky, nee, blessed with win­ning this fine bong will have years of smok­ing plea­sure ahead of them too!

I started a rather labo­ri­ous task last week and that is fix­ing all of “my clas­sic entries” from my old blogspot blog.

When they were imported here into my fancy new blog, they arrived with­out titles or cat­e­gories. They don’t even say they were authored by the hippy! Oh the horror!

The older entries don’t have titles, because I didn’t give them any; like­wise with the cat­e­gories. Bum­mer, man.

That means I have to go into each one and add a title and cat­e­gories myself, then repub­lish. I’ve only done one month so far, out of the last twenty-five months of blog­ging, so I have a long way to go before I’m fin­ished. Though, once I’m done, get­ting around this site will be much easier.

And I’ll be able to pick my top five entries much eas­ier, since I’ll be read­ing every word I’ve writ­ten over the next few weeks. See, I didn’t forget!

And finally, I want to send out a huge “thank you” to all my hip­py­fans, both old and new, for mak­ing the month that just fin­ished, the best month for hip­pyvis­i­tors ever! I did big-time, business!

I might not be able to claim I’m under­ground much longer! Oh the horror!

Know­ing that the num­ber of you hip­py­fans is grow­ing every day cer­tainly makes writ­ing this blog much more fun!

Ok, I’m an atten­tion seeker, lovemelovemelovemeloveme, but only online.

In my real life, in the real world, I con­tinue to remain anony­mous, invis­i­ble and unno­ticed, which is how I like it. I even had my hair cut quite short last week, a num­ber seven back and sides! Until then, it was down past my shoul­ders, thick and curly.

I looked like a rock god!

Ok, a short, fat and bald­ing rock god, but a rock god none the less.

Now, with short hair, I can move amongst you mor­tals even eas­ier. I could be peer­ing over your shoul­der right now, as you read these words and you wouldn’t even know I was there!

Does that creep you out?

Don’t worry; I won’t fon­dle you, unless you fon­dle me first.
