Yep,
The only way we are likely to see anything is if they are the size of a bus - Second thoughts, not sure if I want to see them that bad  :(

I'd have thought the smoke from my Xmas dinner should have cleared by now...

How did you manage to burn cider ?    :lol:

it's taken years of practice. I started off learning how to burn water and then progressed up to cider via cheap lager.

Interestingly, only the lager tasted better for being burnt.

Could you teach me how to burn lager or is it one of those secret Magic Circle things ?   :)
