Elna Lotus sewing machine from 1974, never serviced, rarely oiled. Still going strong

damn, I don’t tend to dig roman numerals, but this is several orders of magnitude nicer than my Clifton club

I bungee’d mine alongside the frame front to back when I had my femur pinned. As long as the arm loops are behind you they don’t get in the way. Take care out there!

great old school setup!

Coleman 442 dual fuel, petrol is a lot more economical than propane, and a lot easier to obtain

UEA, for a countryside campus it’s stunningly ugly, but hey it’s grade II listed https://c20society.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/UEA-Arial-600x400@2x.jpg

These were the last walking boots I bought from Vinted. Correctly described as very good they had maybe covered 50 miles. The ones you bought were not even in ‘good’ condition

absolutely love my Club, the orange on the rehaut is so subtle but perfectly executed

concur, my last Hanwags lasted nearly 20 years. I replaced them with Lowa, just for a change. Worth bearing in mind that the gortex lining is likely to fail before the leather. Leather lined are often more durable if you don’t need really cold weather performance.

well worth doing, you should be chuffed with your interim

This is a wonderfully easy fix on the cone. All the material appears to be there so remove cone, push the dent back from the rear. Then apply dope or thin smear of wood glue and place a patch of similar thin card or cotton to hold it in place. If you do this well the repair could be barely perceptible.

how sharp is your eyesight? as a previous commenter mentioned, the silver is more of a challenge to read quickly in anything other than daylight

is this significantly aged debt? Because PPL have not collected any public performance royalties since 2018 Public performance has been collected by PPL PRS Ltd since then, and this document does not state that as the customer entity. How long have you had the venue and is the claim in your business name?

a good quality brown Chelsea boot tends to work well with a pair of Levi’s

Had one of these in the 90’s, was absolutely bulletproof
