Does anyone know when it is? I missed it last year, and am wondering if I've done the same this year?

    It's a lovely jacket... but is it really tweed? I mean, technically, sure, but all the pheasants would see you coming... and fly towards you.

    I've actually met the strange boy himself at last job - one of his friends was our marketing guy. Can't design a nice looking tie to save himself.

    He would probably have already have been shot by one of the other guns in that get up!

    and not just because they thought he was a strutting pheasant/peacock :)

    Yer yer wateva.

    I'm actually just a country gent at heart, posing as a city dweller. And no, I wouldn't wear that jacket in a rural setting, my old man would probably have a heart attack for one... :D

    Bah, came off the bottom of my road and soaked my gloves - my brother has my new seal skinz... Boo.

    Broke front light too - arse

    Checked HSK and it was really quite shitty - bollox

    Went back to house and came in via tube.

    Not a good day to be riding slicks. Hope you chaps are safe out there.
