You lot should start an expensive shoe thread like the posh watch thread

We could start our own flip-flops thread?

Sperry Topsiders (or Oofos).

I have Reef ones, cos they've got a bit of arch support, and a nice comfy lining on the strap.

Oofos have the arch support thing too. They're a bit odd to wear at first 'cos they have quite a thick sole. Main thing is they're pretty grippy on slippy wet pool sides.

We can do socks and T-shirts next.

They’re a tad ugly!

I had a pair of Oofos.

I liked them.

The dog liked them even more.


I then bought a pair of Birkenstocks. Mrs. Gremlin said if I ever wore them out she would disown me.

I've got white crocs ftw!

No doubt with white Adidas socks

to store my Ninja Woodfire, pizza oven and gas Weber grill and set it up as an outdoor kitchen, should be plenty of space for the gas bottle(s) and other garden clutter, but the key consideration is being able to cook within it / close by.

Grown up toy if it's anything like the RC Toyota that popped up on Instagram yesterday. Dunno how many ££s it was but the mechanisms underneath (diffs, props etc etc) looked pretty impressive.

My Tamiya Hornet had all that in the 80's, I keep meaning to buy another kit and build it just for nostalgia, but I think I'd put it away ten minutes after building it and then never get it out again.

Check out this badboy... might be the same underpinnings as what you saw as they do Toyotas too. Incredible attention to detail – it's not an awful lot simpler than a real one, and they thoughtfully provide various parts so you can configure it to match your real one.

I want one real bad! Though they're the best part of 700 quid... and you need to add your own RC stuff, motor, batter, servo...

See the one I linked to above - I love Tamiyas, but these are a million miles away.

That looks likely. It's not just detail for detail's sake on those transmissions, as you say, it all appears to work like the real thing.

Gertcha wallet out I say!
