The price of decent MTB rubber is somewhat troubling at times

Started on the beer. Then red wine. Then back to beer. And there was a few tequilas in the mix too.
Celebrating Gremlinette's GCSE results with a few of her friends in the shabby Mexican restaurant one of them works at. They were all a bit worse for where too.
Terrible parenting.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Today I bought an MOT for my little Citroen DS3, then sold it to the MOT man. Unexpected sale, offered the right money so it’s gone, I’m down to just the Triumph and the Beemer!! Surprising outcome to the day.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
I bought a Barbour Sapper coat, I've been meaning to buy one for a few years, so now I have one and it can hang in the coat cupboard with all my other Barbour coats not being worn.
Akshirly I might wear it for shooting on Weds.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
I wore my Barbour Sapper on my bike yesterday, I wish I'd bought one years ago, it's a very nice thing and very convenient.
I have a Belstaff Sheene and the Sapper feels nicer to wear but probably because it's lighter and doesn't have the protection in, so whilst nicer to wear it probably wouldn't be nicer in a crash.
It's a very nice coat just for walking about though.

I've got a Barbour Steve McQueen which is lovely, or used to be when I could fit in it!

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
A pair of Birkenstock sandals for my dodgy trotters. On the style front, it ain't a proud moment but if it means I can wear a pool/garden shoe and not walk like a cripple for weeks after, I'm all over it.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
I wear them out in about 2 months. But so far* they are still the best ones I've found
* Pending a trial pair of another brand from a kind, fellow forum member.....

Merrell sandal wearer here. I used to get Teva but the Toachi 2 is never in stock so tried Merrell and actually prefer them.
