  1. Champochampo (mix of anything) soup,chicken and fish balls (don’t knock it till you’ve tried it).
  2. Grainger market?I remember all the pheasants,rabbits and hares hanging up alongside a couple of deer.
  3. Clamming is really hungry. Bletchley park cryptanalysts couldn’t have deciphered his word jumbles into readable posts.And he was an angry geezer.
  4. Since I found he never attained matador de toros status it’s the highest accolade I can attribute to him.
  5. I didn’t used to read bills posts as my typoglycemia and cognitive shortcutting wasn’t up to most of them,but clem originated in the north-east so maybe he was from that area?
  6. Kudos for a seldom used word.
  7. That’s ok for lamping in the 1980’s with a leaking car-battery in a haversack but times change.Dido liked that coat,in his words it was spot on,it was a step-up the ladder from Chazza shop donations and hand me downs,now it’s a fading distant dream,reduced from knights Templar prospect to last of the summer wine Compo in one THL thread.
  8. This film is like a drunk trying to find his way out of a cornfield maze,directionless,absolute 2/10.
  9. I still have old optimum eighty cotton paper tenners,whenever I take them into a UK bank the story is always the same “My father has past away,found them when cleaning his house out” I always try my best to look a little crestfallen,he must have died about 30 times,maybe more.
  10. My thinking exactly,take cash in,most people like cash,looks good,nice bunch of notes,there’s normally wiggle room,no salesman wants that cash going back in a prospective clients pocket and walking out the door,someone else will then get it,so time to negotiate.
  11. I need to know what owning the pen means to a prospective customer,Dido has already sold himself on the coat,he wants it,in his minds eye he is wearing it,but psychologically he can’t seem to splash the cash.

    Horse cull

    Never saw owt like that on Blackpool beach when we were kids.
  13. If ever I see you holding that cup out I shall drop a little folding in there mate,now I know how you can afford gold investments and hind stalking on your highland estate,Your cannier than Scrooge McDuck. Enjoy the coat when you get it.
  14. Can we start a #GoFundMe to get Dido that coat?I think it would be justified,he has poise,dignity and stature unlike the rest of us (apart from Charts)clothes maketh the man and the finishing touch for Dido is that coat.
  15. I bought my jackets in Toronto and Ottawa in the Goose shops,they let you try them on in the freezer room and drop the temps down,a regatta wouldn’t cut it when the temps plummet BUT a Harkila limited edition would.
  16. I have a few Canada goose jackets,they are shit,I look like shit in them,but if I was wearing a limited edition Harkila I could walk amongst lesser men with my head held high knowing I was the Don.
  17. They squirt cream on those puffs,that shops a bricks-and-mortar innuendo.
  18. Carpe diem,you want that coat,you NEED that coat,don’t talk yourself out of it,I knew when I saw your opening post “shall I get it?” YES get the coat,be decisive,you actually like that coat,you know you would look good in it,you want to wear it on shoots and stuff and look the f*cking bollox,people will probably think your the laird,the squire,the landowner in that jacket,that jacket is YOU,don’t fanny around,time passes quick,for every day you procrastinate over the purchase is a day less you will get to wear it.
  19. I think so,don’t think of the price,more how much you NEED that jacket,go get it.
  20. I got asked today “Do you like your puffs hot?”.
  21. It’s a limited edition 1-400 so if you want it get it,don’t wait.
  22. Not the remake,the original with that snazzy soundtrack.
  23. Just saw a tiny woman park her truck in 4 bays and head off into the store.
  24. Lakes iced over after a few days of sub -10’s and the geese which packed the lake a week ago have vanished.
