Good idea, chimney is curved and bb's are hard to bend mid-air. I suppose I could shoot it from the garden but waving guns around outside defeats the point of hiding my criminality from next door's raving bloody mother who has now been complaining about how fat her daughter is and how they don't weed the garden enough for 3 days now. Usually she doesn't stay this long.... Looking now strictly for solutions that can be achieved from prone position at bottom of chimney with one hand occupied.

There is a decent updraft to draw the draw up the chimney with a window open (thanks for diagram @Clockwise). Perhaps the room is warm enough, I didn't have to resort to a beer can doobie to get it moving. Did notice the steam from my tea followed it up. @mdcc_tester how many steamy cups of tea compare to a log fire for spliff extraction purposes?
Attempt two went pretty well but attempt three introduced a whole new vector to contend with; nipping on the highest grade with a coffee this morning in starlet position on the floor, legs cocked, head supported and wrist flopped over coquettishly holding an elegent, ivory coloured shortie turning brown at the fat end, I was startled by a distant cooing before my draft vanished and instead of the pure sour tang of the goddess I got a cold waft of smelly old chimney air.
I think a pigeon might have sat on my chimney pot.
Maybe the convective encouragement of tea is greater than coffee? Maybe a gently grass-warmed chimney pot is irresistible to a pigeon's bot? @NurseHolliday do you suppose a larger ting ting will scare it off?
Bit worried tbh, a pigeon came down a girlfriend's chimney once and flapped around for ages and did a poo on her duvet so don't want to accidentally lure them in....

how do chimneys work? If I smoke a j with my head up in the fireplace because next door's ghastly mother has come round and is complaining in their garden so I can't go outside does all the sticky goodness come out of upstairs' fireplace? Most of the spirits are going up the spout and the room smells remarkably unlike the praises of jah have been sung so I would like to continue in the immediate short term with this plan as long as I can be reasonably confident of not wafting dank evidence around the whole building. Please help.

how do I gear a sturmey archer aw3? up and down are +/-33% so if I have for instance 48/17 then gear 3 is 100GI. If I lower the direct drive so the top is more useable am I just going to want to be between gears all the time?
Its actually not for me its for a girl who isn't a very good cyclist. I've got a 19t cog on it now so I thought 46t front, 65GI is a bit low but then change up to go down hills and straights...
does that sound reasonable?I have no idea how to use gears, are you supposed to start in 1st and go up through them all and use the top at normal cruising speed ? Or do you just leave it 2nd unless going up and down big hills?

helpful chap pulled up next to me to say I was in the left turning lane at the last junction and ought to be more careful, bit baffled really it was just a normal lane and I was in front anyway. felt a bit mean to argue the point so didn't, thought he might get lucky and accidentally give someone else some good advice later on.

Have they considered 3 years of daily experience? Just carry on riding, not rljing, not fighting cabbies, not shouting and sooner or later everyone will calm down about cycling in general and people will be safe and happy wobbling along for three weeks every year in spring.
like walking around with a spliff, normalize it
I think I would feel indecent sitting on that, like wearing another fellow's spectacles. Not really on.
