One helpful hippy (483)
The response to those Aleda Transparent Rolling Papers has been big, thanks for all your emails! I’m glad you’re all digging them as much as I am…!
That’s the business out of the way!
I’m in a fucking good mood today! Really good! I’ve done something!
Trust me, in my life, finishing anything other than a meal or a spliff is a real accomplishment and dammit if I didn’t complete a project today!
Well, it’s not totally my project, I’ve been helping this guy get his book published, but I did the final manuscript edit, arranged for the front and back cover art and sorted out the actual publishing for him. It’s almost as if I wrote the book myself!
This guy, who I will call DL, started out blogging as well, but unlike my shitty little blog (of course I mean world class site visited by millions!), he has received quite a following and has had millions of visitors.
DL’s blog was all about sex, mainly sex he had behind his wife’s back. Lot’s of it, actually. He finished that blog and started another one, but I won’t tell you why! It would ruin one of the surprises in his book.
The book is actually quite a good read and he’s a better writer than even he realised! In real life he has some boring job in sales that I really don’t understand. Now he’s nearly a published author!
I started out just giving him advice on the media, but I’ve become more involved in things. After the book comes out, I want to try and help him sell the book to a TV company, as it would make a really good series. It’s unintentionally funny and absolutely filthy, but we would tone it down for television.
The other reason I’ve become friendlier with this guy DL is he had a heart attack recently. I went to see him in hospital a couple of times and even kept an eye on his blogging empire for him while he was indisposed.
He was a major league, big time cokehead up until his heart attack and I have a lot of sympathy for him. I lost a good friend of mine to something similar a couple of years ago and I don’t want to lose anyone else I know, so I think that’s why I’ve been helping him so much.
He didn’t like me at first, but I think I’ve grown on him…like a fungus! A funny fungus! A magic mushroom!
When his book comes out, I’ll give it a big plug here at the hippy! After all, I’m getting a little something from every book he sells and I wouldn’t be a proper media whore if I didn’t plug it relentlessly for him!
So life is good for this hippy, no complaints at all!

An innovative new product (482)
Here at northlondonhippy.com, we strive to bring you the latest developments from the rich tapestry that is the world of getting high and I’ve got a humdinger for you today!
Check this out!

That’s right, see-through rolling papers! Skins that are totally clear! How fucking cool is that?
Well, I’ll tell you exactly how fucking cool it is…on the fucking cool-o-meter, it score the maximum one-hundred fucking cools!
I’m smoking a tasty spliff wrapped in one of these little babies right now and have been for the last few days. No, not the same spliff! They do burn slowly, but not that slowly!
They’re made of cellulose, are completely natural as well as being flavour neutral. That means you get the full taste of your chosen smoking mixture.
Mine’s a bit of skunk and a bit of tobacco.
Ok, it’s mostly skunk with the slightest suggestion of tobacco; just enough to make easier to burn.
If you want to be on the cutting edge of spliffology; impress your friends and pull unfathomably beautiful women that are way out of your league, then I implore you to try these skins.
Remember, I don’t recommend anything unless I use it myself, so if this hippy digs it, you know it’s got to be good!

Why I’m a RooR whore! (464)
A lot of people ask me why I like RooR pipes and bongs so much
I don’t just like RooR products; I love them! I’m talking genuine, coming deep from the bottom of my heart, throbbing, pulsating love!
The truth is, I’m a whore for RooR!
As “the internet’s biggest celebrity that you’ve never heard of”, an endorsement from me must be RooR’s dream. Let’s face it, what (in)famous person is going to stick his or her neck out and endorse anything drug related?
Only me!
I’m not afraid to admit I smoke dope. No one should be! The more of us who thrust our hands in the air and tell the truth about our soft drug use, the better!
But back to RooR! I’ve probably owned over one-hundred pipes and bongs in my time and that’s not an exaggeration. I’ve yet to smoke from anything else that approaches RooR’s quality.
In both design and construction, RooR has no equal. All of their pieces are made to the highest standard. If properly cared for, RooR glassware will last a lifetime.
If you’re considering buying a RooR piece, I can tell you from personal experience that you won’t be disappointed. I know they’re not cheap, but what in this life that’s worth having is?
My plan is to custom design a northlondonhippy RooR bong at some point in the not-to-distant future and ask my friends at EDIT to list it on their site, so you can all buy one! It will be the coolest bong known to man!
I’m happy to answer more specific questions about RooR, or anything else really. I like hearing from hippyfans and make a point of responding to everyone! Since I’m the self-proclaimed “only true genius of the 21st century” as well as being an imminent pseudo-intellectual, I’m an expert on absolutely everything. So if you need any advice, I’m your hippy!
I’m always your hippy! I’m living that hippy life so you don’t have to! I exist solely for your entertainment, amusement and enlightenment! How lucky are you?

Please adore the latest from RooR (459)
Hey ho hippyfans!
How’s it going? Are all your northlondonhippy dreams coming true? Mine sure are!
Life for this hippy has never been better, which means either I’m doing really well, or up until today, my life’s been fairly shitty.
Take your pick!
The main reason I’m writing this entry is because I want to tell you about something that EDIT just started selling from my friends at RooR.
Yes, it’s another bong, but oh my fucking god(!!!) what a bong!
I’m talking about the RooR Custom- White Lines - 5.0mm Dealer’s Cup. It is seriously a thing of beauty. The size, the style, the attention to detail are all classic RooR and the design is just amazing!
A snow-white crown mouthpiece and matching bowl, snow-white ice-notches, two reductions and a solid silver hemp leaf all make this bong a distinguished edition to the White Lines family. And like all RooR bongs and pipes, the quality of the construction is, well, the best in the world!
And there’s a reason why I endorse RooR goods so much, I own a fair bit of their kit myself! I won’t inventory it for you again here, but if you click on the RooR category you can read all about it.
Oh, I did buy a new RooR piece last week; I finally got my RooR Black Ashcatcher 5.0 and I’m really impressed with it. It’s given me the best smoke ever from my Little Sista through the diffuser and is worth having.
So there you go, another fine and desirable product from RooR. I really do need to contact them about selling a custom northlondonhippy RooR bong.
You’d buy one, wouldn’t you?

Open the door to RooR (453)
Since I started writing about my love of RooR glassware, I’ve noticed a lot of people have been visiting looking for more information about their pipes and bongs.
As always, I’m only too happy to help!
I’m not spying on you, but I do like to see what search terms people use that bring them to me. Ok, I’m nosy, but if it were your blog, you’d be nosy too!
All RooR glassware is hand made to a very high standard, from the smallest mini-steamroller to the top of the range Little Sista White Lines bong and every model in-between. The bongs are especially sturdy, with a choice of wall thicknesses right up to 7.0mm.
RooR stuff is also well designed and aesthetically pleasing; it all looks very good. It’s all also easy to clean, using just a kettle full of boiling water and a little bit of RooR’s special bong cleaner.
By far, the most important thing about RooR pipes and bongs is this: how it smokes!
Being an old hippy, I’ve owned more pipes and bongs than you’ve probably had hot dinners. Well, I’ve owned dozens over the years, how many times have you eaten cooked food?
Ok, you won that round!
Glass pipes are taste neutral, so you get the full flavour of whatever smoking herb you’re enjoying. Like weed.
RooR pipes are designed to maximise the flavour and the potency, they hit like a dream. I’ve never smoked from better pipes and that goes for all three models that I personally own, the mini-steamroller, the Pocket Friend and my Little Sista Ice Master 3.0 bong. They rock!
What also makes RooR so good is the bowl system; the Pocket Friend and all of the bongs use interchangeable bowls, which are also designed to enhance the experience. Combined with a RooR glass gauze, you have the perfect chamber for igniting your chosen herb. Again, weed.
I’ve customised my Little Sista with a RooR diffuser to replace the standard downpipe and that further improves the smoothness of the smoke. My next purchase will be the RooR Ash Catcher, which should complete my little collection.
I know that RooR is expensive, but then so is anything of real quality that you might purchase and expect to perform well and last for a very long time. You get what you pay for in this world and I can tell you from my experience, RooR is up there with Sony and Apple Computers as far as brands I trust that are very cool.
As a matter of fact, since I’ve become one of the world’s biggest cheerleaders for RooR, I’m thinking about approaching them to do a special edition northlondonhippy bong and then asking my friends at EDIT if they would like to be the exclusive distributors for it.
I would custom design it myself, naturally and order the very first one as well. Then they could take photos of it and list it on their websites to sell. And then you could buy one! It would be just like getting high with me every night only with less of me smoking all of your weed!
How fucking cool would that be?

RooR doesn’t have to cost a for-tune! (443)
I’ve had a few hippyfans contact me to point out that my love of all things RooR, while admirable, does not come cheap.
Of course, they are right. I know that full sized RooR pieces are pricey and not everyone has my sort of wildly overpaid, media job to afford them. Not even me for the high end goodies!
But as the title says, owning your own RooR piece doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
RooR’s Steamroller pipes are extremely well made and very affordable; the cheapest one, the mini only costs £5.95 and I can tell you it’s a great pipe, since I own one myself. I use it a lot, actually and it hits like a dream.
The come in three other sizes, each one a little bigger than the last, so you can choose one that’s just right for you.
And to get the most out of your RooR Steamroller, you need to get a glass gauze. I recommend this one, the glass jack, which fits the mini Steamroller perfectly. It’s only an extra £1.50, but it’s worth it. You don’t want a mouthful of ash or worse, your favourite herbal expensive smoking mixture.
Once you see how great the Steamrollers are, you will want to save you pennies for more of their fine glassware!
And while I’m recommending things to smoke, have you checked out Spice yet? It’s a mix of herbs that tastes nice, rolls nice and makes you feel even nicer. Yes, it really does have an effect! It’s the first herbal mixture I’ve ever tried that actually works and the high is very pleasant and mellow.
Spice also blends very well with weed, which makes it good for anyone who is trying to give up tobacco.
Of course, who am I kidding? Everything goes better with weed; especially me!
Happy toking!

More about RooR (437)
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.

Don’t fear the hippy; the hippy is your friend! (436)
Hey! There’s still time to win my bong! Click here for the details!
Hey hippyfans! How’s things?
Things are groovy here in my north London lair. I’ve had a few mellow days, sorting out a few things here and there. Life is good.
I’ve popped by just to mention that there’s a big change to my website, which you may have noticed.
I now have advertising.
The company I’ve chosen to adorn my blog is none-other than EveryoneDoesIt.Com, or EDIT as I often refer to them and as they do indeed refer to themselves.
EDIT is by far the best web retailer there is for all things legal and drug related. I’ve been shopping with them personally for nearly three years and I can only praise the quality of their service and goods. I wish all the websites I shopped with were as together as EDIT.
But what exactly do they sell?
Pipes, bongs, bubblers, seeds, a wide variety of legal highs, spares, blunt wrappers, grinders, rolling papers, rolling machines, rolling trays, rolling stations and of course, my new favourites, RooR glassware. If it is legal, fun and related to getting high, my friends at EDIT stock it.
So if you are going to shop with EDIT, why not do it through me? All you have to do is click on any of the links on this page and let EDIT do the rest. I promise you they are every bit as good as I say they are. And I should know, I’m probably one of their best customers!
And if you do shop with EDIT, send me an email and let me know what you bought and how it all worked out for you!

Hippyfans make my world go round! (434)
Hey fuckers. I’m having one of those hippydays that make life worth living already!
I’ve been awake since 5am, lucky me. I went to bed around 11pm, so that’s 6 hours of quality sleep. Ok, it’s not enough.
I’ve already watched the latest episode of the Sopranos, which is a pretty neat trick here in north London, considering it’s getting it’s first run in America on HBO right now. Why do I have to wait for Channel Four to get their act together? I’ll watch it again when they show it anyway, so everyone wins!
I’m digging it already and they’re only up to episode two. Rock on.
I’ve also been out to the superdupermarket and it was a good trip. I was there and back in 45 minutes and didn’t forget a single item. Yipppeee to that!
I’ve also read all my usual newspaper sites and other assorted webpages, checked all my email accounts and responded to the more pressing ones. I’ve also done some web shopping, placing an order with Amazon and EDIT.
Besides a few small, inconsequential items, the two main things I purchased from EDIT are the following:
A RooR diffuser (for my Little Sista 5.0 Ice Master)
…and
The diffuser was planned all along, but to order one, I had to measure the downpipe that was shipped with the Little Sista, because each bong is unique and the lengths can vary. Hey ho!
Spice, appears to be a herbal smoking mixture that is suppose to smell and taste good as well as get you high! Sounds good to me; and apparently it also mixes very well with weed, so I could be on to a winner. It also costs the same as skunk, so I’m hoping the reviews I’ve seen means it lives up to the hype. I’ll find out tomorrow.
I always try to stay up to date and on the cutting edge of legal highs! Watch out for my personal review of Spice, coming soon!
God, is this a dull-ass posting or what? I went shopping, I bought this, I wanked my cock down to a bloody stump!
OK, I made up that last one, just to see if you were paying attention. You are. Good.
See, here’s the thing. As “the biggest internet celebrity you’ve never heard of….but not for long”, I’m constantly checking my hitcounter to see if my online stardom has arrived.
So far, it hasn’t.
That doesn’t stop me from checking, though. As “a messiah for the new millennium”, I know I need to get my words out to the masses in a big old way; and I know my time will come; and soon!
In the meantime, I am charting a rather steady increase in traffic to my site. There’s loads of new hippyfans joining you old timers every day. I can even see how many of you fuckers are bookmarking me and grabbing the syndication feeds and it warms this hippy’s heart to no end!
It’s not that I’m unpopular, or unknown, I prefer to see it as still remaining underground; so if you’ve made it here, well done you!
I love you hippyfans, I really do. That’s why I want to give you my old bong. For the hippy loveth you all so much that he doth giveth you his old acrylic old! Dig it fuckers!
So to my hippyfans, both old and new, thank you for visiting my page.
You’re part of the internet elite, a small, extremely intelligent and sexy subgroup of internet users who have the good taste, common sense and quite frankly, the overwhelming cool required to fully appreciate whatever it is I do here.
What is it I do here, again? Oh yeah, my special brand of drivel!
You are by far the best group of fans on the internet and though your numbers may be few (and growing rapidly), you all more than make up for it with your style, wit and joie de vivre!
So whether you are a first time visitor or a long time hippyfan, welcome to my wild, weird and wacky world!
“I’ll make you laugh, I’ll make you think, I’ll make you wish you were a hippy too!” Or something like that.

Raving about RooR (428)
Hey hippyfans, do I suck or what?
I haven’t been here in over a week, so indeed I qualify in the sucking department. I can only blame my busy and glamorous media lifestyle and the fact that I’m old and need my sleep!
I could blame loads of other things too, like global warming and the war on terror, but that would be me exaggerating the situation. I’m not actually in government, so it’s not my job to scare you!
I’ve had a bit of a lull between bouts of work and haven’t done loads. I’m back on Saturday night for one, then not again until Wednesday for three more. At the end of the month, I’m going to get really busy and stay that way through most of April. At least I’ll be rich! Depending upon your definition of rich, that is.
Put it this way, I won’t be broke and it means I can spend more money on RooR goodies!
I’ve recently discovered this excellent brand of glassware pipes and bongs and am extremely impressed with the quality of their pieces. So far, I’ve only purchased two small items, but in the very near future, I’ll be ordering my very first full sized RooR bong.
My favourite website, EDIT, stocks a wide variety of RooR GOODS, all hand made from their factory in Germany. Besides being works of art, all of their stuff is extremely functional. And the function?
Smoking weed!
These are grown-up pieces, they’re not toys for kids! They’re not cheap either!
I purchased the smallest piece they make, the MINI STEAMROLLER; it only costs £5.95. I’ve never had a pipe that hit as smooth as this little baby. I can’t recommend this one enough, it is absolutely perfect!
Go on and order one, it’s cheap and you will not regret it! Oh and also, order one of these GLASS GAUZES, yes the one I’ve provided the link to, it’s the perfect size for the mini steamroller!
Cleaning it is a breeze, just pour some boiling water into the bowl and watch most of the gunk float away. If you really need to clean it better, don’t use a brush, use RooR BONG CLEANER!
The other pipe I bought is the RooR POCKET FRIEND, which I like, but I can’t recommend, unless you are an aspiring collector like myself. It’s quite pricey and yes, it does hit like a dream, but it feels a bit fragile and for a little more money, you could have a full sized bong. It’s a real work of art though!
Very soon, I will be ordering my RooR Little Sista 5.0, which is going to last me the rest of my life. It looks like the perfect bong!
Why does all this RooR excitement matter to you, you might ask. Simple! It means I’ve got to clear some space and get rid of one of my other bongs! It’s not even 6 months old, but I’m going to part with it…
By giving it away in my next wild and wacky contest!
I tried to give away my car; I’ve shroomed with a hippy fan contest winner, but now get ready for my most amazing, life changing contest ever!
You can win the hippy’s slightly used, impressively customised Black Leaf bong, with an ice twist!
Don’t worry, this is not the formal announcement of the contest, that will be coming in the next day or two.
Basically, I’m ready to ship this excellent acrylic bong to anyone, anywhere in the UK, no wait, anywhere in the European Union for free!
You’ll have to be at least 18 years old (sorry kids) and live in the European Union to enter! I haven’t decided how you’ll win it just yet, but I’m sure emails will be involved! And don’t forget the oral love!
Let me get some actual photos of the actual bong and post them first. It’s complete with filter attachment, brand new drop-in Australian style bowl and conical gauze, so it’s ready to rock right out of the box!
You’ll need to supply your own weed or other smoking mixture! I can’t do everything for you!
Check back soon for the complete details on how you can win the hippy’s bong!
Life just doesn’t get any better than this!
