Re: Latest Purchase's
I had a Remington 1907 pattern bayonet, WD stamped 1918. I paid £18 for it in 1973.1888 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 5:15 pm Dono what i am going to do with it but i got a big letter opener the same as this but not as good condition.

Wish I knew what happened to it.
Proud Tory scum since 1974.

Thoroughly enjoy the challenge of clay shooting( couldn’t actually kill anything) but it’s quite an expensive hobby, especially when you’re mainly shooting thin air

Three new pairs of glasses, one with a dark tint to be used as sun glasses.
I'm now £357 lighter... guess I'll buy a new laptop next month instead.

Re: Latest Purchase's
Needed 2 new hosepipes but the big one I wanted was about 280€. Being a Yorkshireman, I delayed buying it. But today it was half price. Woo hoo. It's the Rolls Royce of garden hoses.

If you think that being seen is important, then there's always the Captain Sensible Schuberth ootion:
As far as conspicuity goes, that Shoei has 'digital camo' graphics. Those, with yellow stripes, could potentially act as edge and surface disruptive camouflage.

To be honest the Brut has been a let down. No one has mentioned anything about it, so I'm going back to...

This is rather nice. Has a caramel note to the finish as us seasoned tasters might remark...
Tesco have it reduced from £22 to £15 for 70cl.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
I had a buggy and a 4m. I still have the 4m and a stack of Fexifoils and a slightly gyp shoulder. I may also be on a blue Peter out take for wiping out about six kites about to start a race..

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
The eyesight test is very strict for driving licence here and it gets put on the licence if you need specs. My eyes are fine for driving in the day, and you really do need sunglasses most days here, so carry a pair of specs in the glove compartment in case I'm stopped.
But last week I saw a great deal on Specsbypost for prescription sunnies. And only a bit extra for bifocals so can see the clocks. Arrived today and very good too
But more importantly, I got a pair of normal specs with bifocals for riding the GSXR. At the speed that thing goes, I wear specs but cannot see the new fancy dashboard display. Just sat on the bike and can see the clocks perfectly.
Happy boy now
