I lost my wallet last night. OK, a few worries about whether cards might have been used, but more about losing a bit of awesome leather craftsmanship that has only improved with over ten years in my arse pocket.
Murtle Sir please shout out. I found the wallet (Dad died, was extremely tired and emotional - dropped it down the side of the bed as it turns out) but would like to commission you for a sort of iPad / actual pad and pen loop slip case. Idea came to me when I thought I’d have to ask you for another wallet.
You’ve made the original wallet and a few other things for me - work is exceptional.

If you have read (and if you haven’t, do so) Freakanomics you will understand that Rowe vs Wade is way more important than just what should be women’s rights to their own bodies.
I am opposed to casual abortion as birth control, but 100% behind it as a last option. Give it 15 years and watch American crime rates go through the roof again. Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to force unwanted kids onto incapable parents in inescapable circumstances?

Yep, no size data. Will happily take measurements for you though later - have to run now……

Never thought I’d ever sell this, but shit happens. I’m in danger of losing my house. Selling everything.
She’s built for strength, very good disc setup. Brooks saddle and stack grips. Carbon bars, big apples, treated ply panels.
Never used commercially, personal ride only.
The frame is load scratched (I’ve carried everything on this) but never crashed, everything is spot on. Hums and rides perfectly. All bearings and gears sweet as a nut.
Sensible offers? Gloucester but could pallet and ship.
Guards to the floor. Zero road spray. Crank Bros pedals, Race Face seatpost. Quality build from end to end.

Just hit some serious financial shit. Actually in real danger of losing my house.
Anyone interested in a Tudor Heritage Ranger (box and papers) destro converted, a Breitling quartz, a Steinhart Ocean 1 (box and papers, gen 1 grey dial)?
I’ll list separately in the right threads, but a Mini Countryman Cooper on a 12 plate, a Harry Vs Larry Bullitt, a Trek District converted to fixed and a 30’s Robin Hood with rod brakes.
This is a fire sale guys - I have small children and I’m very close to fucked. At 52 this is killing me.

Now I am getting really concerned.
Home garden has loads of wildflowers and walls covered in blue Passion flowers, massive Belfast sink full of lavender.
Allotment has a sea of wildflowers - I mean seriously a ridiculous area.
I have seen one honeybee so far. One.
I’m really thinking that catastrophic bee collapse has hit this area. Lots of bumbles (and I love a bumble) but no honey bees at all. Normally by this stage in the year you’d have to beat them off with a stick.
Little bit scared…..

Anyone on here capable of spinning an ETA movement to destro? I love my Steinhart Ocean 1 but almost never wear it because the crown kills the back of my hand. I spun my Tudor (same movement, 2824) but many years ago and dexterity is not what it was (eyesight either - even with a magnifier).
Getting older sucks ballsacks.

Euro car parts.
Took me half an hour to get down a queue of five people to buy an oil filter. One guy serving and collecting (who couldn’t find an asshole with a mirror on a stick) at least five other employees wandering through or having laughter conversations the other side of the warehouse door.
Oh yes, and working on modern cars. I used to tune and race a-series minis. Currently (wife’s choice) have a Mini (gah!) Countryman Cooper. Is it possible to make a car harder to work on? Oh and to top it off, the last cunt who put new tyres on it has replaced the locking wheel nut adaptor with a completely incompatible one. Just had to fix a screw puncture with the wheel on the car as no way of removing it.
I haven’t put fuel in the thing since before Christmas. It now has new oil, filters, plugs and the slow leak fixed. Tempted just to get rid. Bob the Bullitt does everything I need.
Sodding cars.

Just for anyone who isn’t aware of the man’s work - utterly shameless plug - he has made me two more identical wallets that my wife and eldest daughter carry, the slimmest of suit pocket wallets for formal, and a passport case that I once had a check-in lady ask what she would have to do to keep it.
