that little shop on the walworth road in london might have the originals. teenslain will know the name and full address :-)
the window display has never changed and still has harringtons from way back.

You used to be able to get them in any of those workwear shops (it's pot luck which one's have them now they're not that popular anymore). I spoke to a lady in one who said they used to always stock them and could order some in. You can get 'em on online now though around £35.

My dad used to get them from Jay's in Battersea (Lavender Hill). That was about 25 years ago though.

Loadsa barbers are more than just a barber to alot of their frequents, gaining more of a social club vibe, somewhere to hang out really.

Also, its never too late to get a haircut.

what's with the Afro-Caribbean thing of barbers and hairdressers opening really late? It seems like a great thing culturally. Where does it come from?

^^^ Yer! Wot he said. Ain't you not never seen "Desmond's"

I had a crombie as a teenager, always thought donkey jackets were a bit too binman, if you know what I mean... But then I grew up on a council estate, most of our parents worked in menial jobs and the last thing me or my mates wanted was to dress like our dads did at work... Tho' my dad was pretty sharp when he wasn't in the kitchen, got all his suits made bespoke back in Spain...

I've always liked monkey boots. I think it's cos my dad used to have a pair.
Dr Martins have done an version this year, not a patch on the originals and twice the price.

Also using this forum as your target market is daft, we are a bunch of rugged hardcore polistas, we need no 'fashinoble' clothing from pashley, probably not the target marked, unless pashley is into Vans.

^^^I disagree, there are sartorialists on this forum:

as well as people who wear stuff that's 'nice, if a little pricey'

Question-wise the Lifestyle one's a bit vague, and I wouldn't know what to put, but 'other activities' should prove fruitful as if someone rides their bike to play tennis or other such activity, a natty pair of riding/tennis shorts/shirt could result.

(I'm well posh and would like a natty pair of riding/tennis shorts with some divine detailing please.)

Heads up for a clash tonight 21:00 BBC1 and ITV.
It's Emilia Fox or Kelly Reilly. Silent Witness or Above Suspicion.

Quite tempted buy the bargainousness of these, but decided I don't actually need one. Reckon I'll go for 5w cree torch/light off the ebay.

Electron 16 LED was £119.99 - Now £49.99

i have never seen starwars

I've never seen the Godfather (1, 2 or 3).

Up until about a year ago I thought Lorries with "Plant Hire" on them actually delivered big plants and trees to studios/photographers/events people.

I'm not an idiot, honest, but I felt like one when it dawned on me what they really did.

YouTube - Weekend Project: Mini Bike Light

Probably a repost, almost certainly belongs in epic fail for the patronising intro. Might have a go at making a light though, gotta be cheaper than a 3-led Knog (frog?).

Why not just get some Knock-off knogs from DX? about 5 dorrah each.
I don't own these so can't vouch for their quality, but might get some.

PS: I dropped my dream of selling 20th century antiques and have designed my own range instead. First piece in the workshop right now and should be finished next week (that wasn't a plug honest!)

Always wanted to do this ^^^.
It's a shame I'm devoid of any drive and ambition.

Doing an upholstery evening class atm, doing a couple of parker knolls. Takes so much longer than I thought.

Ditto about posting pics, i'd be interested to see.

for me its all about bachelor toad, he and I are as one at the moment...

MJFox ones result in me having to leave the room due to lo-lols.

The butcher offered me eight legs of veal yesterday for thirty quid. Must admit I had to ask my mate if he thought that was two calves.

Isn't some kind of wax meant to be quite good at cleaning leather?

Reckon you need something to draw the oil/wax/residue out rather than apply more.
A warm iron over a few sheets of kitchen roll on affected area or something like that?

CR2032 are rated 225mAh at 3V, so to reach the performance you've listed they'd have to be drawing at most 14mW. Luminous efficiency for LEDs is very optimistically 100 lm/W so that's giving out at best 1 lumen.

^^^^and for that reason, he's out.

YouTube - Switchblade Romance/High Tension Trailer

not my cup of earl grey...
are London lovefilm reviewers really like that? guess these are home viewers,

Bloody Trailers. I've stopped watching them if I know i'm going to watch the film, because like that one, they show too much of the film/plot.

I read a bit of the synopsis and a couple of reviews and then decide. I'd rather I knew as little about the film as possible.
Watched 'Dead Man's shoes' thinking it was going to be a completely different film (got mixed up with something with Clive Owen in it) and decided this was the way forward.

Might try 'A prophet' tonight. Something about a bloke and prison, that's about as much as I know.

Switchblade Romance.

Tense as fook, French, and hardly any dialogue so subtitles don't get in the way of your wee tenterhooks. (Or if you're like most Lovefilm reviewers..."turned it on, found it had subtitles so didn't watch it".)

If you like REC. and the like, try this.

Long time Lurker. Only riding otp SS a little at the weekends out in the surrey 'burbs till I get a job closer to home where I can bicyclize it everyday.
