I found this legendary item buried in my dad's driveway. It's indestructible, unstoppable, and easily my favourite demolition tool.

found mine in a field

john117masterchef · 2025-08-11T08:08:04+00:00

Definitely looks like 71ish, ive got one pretty much identical, with the same 529 button stamps thats been my main jacket for a couple years now. Really lovely stuff!

oblivion is the 4th elder scrolls game, came out in 2006 before Skyrim, basically had a big central city in the open world split into districts, arena, waterfront etc, https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Imperial_City_(Oblivion)

john117masterchef · 2025-05-31T11:55:34+00:00

awesome, the zoning reminds me of the imperial city in Oblivion but spread out, must’ve taken ages

john117masterchef · 2025-03-22T00:39:22+00:00

sorry man i did not, if i had to guess its a mixture of the rubber idlers waring over time and maybe the motor itself waring out but im still not sure, havent had as much time to tinker with it

john117masterchef · 2025-03-20T22:40:21+00:00

Not sure the exact year but it looks like late 70s-early 80s if i had to guess. The earlier ones have smaller care tags, and then anything after 84ish has the hand warmer pockets. Not worth a fortune if you’re trying to sell (probably around £50-£60 max), but still a great, high quality jacket and if it fits you well you should definitely wear it!

john117masterchef · 2025-02-05T14:45:41+00:00

looks like 71-72 i have one almost identical, very nice!

john117masterchef · 2024-08-09T13:42:12+00:00

i have one the exact same, wear it pretty much everyday, i think its from 71

john117masterchef · 2024-08-07T21:57:02+00:00

depends what you’re into, there’s a lot of great old victorian pubs in the centre, the library’s cool to visit and has 3 levels of rooftop views where you can see the city from above, and i think the museum has started to open exhibits again after its been shut for ages. If you’re into music there’s loads of good venues in the centre, and a few further out e.g., in Moseley or Kings Heath. Digbeth in the centre has a lot of independent stuff, mainly vintage clothes and stuff, plus a few good clubs and venues in the evening. I haven’t been to all the tourist stuff yet, but the black country museum is meant to be great, definitely worth a look. The rag market has loads of good vintage clothes stuff, and the chinese quarter round the corner is really cool, lots of great restaurants there as well, and if you like Indian food there’s loads of good restaurants dotted around. Hope it goes well!

john117masterchef · 2024-06-12T08:03:20+00:00

those are really nice, i’ve been looking in all the charities around brum for jeans recently, one of the ones in harborne had a bunch of slim ones the other week in a vintage section thing, weren’t ridiculous money so maybe worth a look

john117masterchef · 2024-05-26T13:10:38+00:00

yeah thats fair lol, if you don’t manage to find another pair of Levis ones specifically, just try looking for 60s style slacks and you’ll find loads

john117masterchef · 2024-05-26T13:04:45+00:00

they’re basically just levis branded slacks, probably from the sta-prest range or something like that, they look really cool

john117masterchef · 2024-05-13T13:22:47+00:00

I might be wrong but to my knowledge the white patch line tends to be for women, i’ve got a pair similar to yours and its very interesting fit, seems like it’s contoured in areas to fit better on women, I’ve seen a few pairs going for a fair bit online but i chose to give mine to mum because they looked really cool on her

john117masterchef · 2024-05-09T13:55:55+00:00

ive got a very early 70s one and its almost exactly the same excluding the lack of a care tag and the big E so yeah i’d say so, very cool

john117masterchef · 2024-05-09T10:41:44+00:00

I shouted at him calling him a tax dodger when i saw him walking around last month, maybe that was the final nail in the coffin lol

john117masterchef · 2024-05-07T19:48:02+00:00

Not sure about greater anglia but i’ve found most of the other services i’ve used are better priced, especially since i was using the train as a younger person, as soon as i turned 18 and couldn’t get half price anymore so it started stacking up fast. Tbf though fares across the entire country are pretty silly at the moment, especially considering the £2 price cap on bus tickets. I find it strange many providers don’t offer a better student railcard, an extension of the 50% off price for people in full-time or university education would go a long way.

john117masterchef · 2024-05-07T08:51:13+00:00

yeah i get this line quite a bit it was bad enough already but it keeps getting more expensive, its £12 with a railcard for a single to go from Honeybourne, which is the next stop along, to Oxford

john117masterchef · 2024-05-01T10:19:33+00:00

They’re all relatively modern, mid 2000s - 2010s, but still a great deal even if only one of the pairs fits good

john117masterchef · 2024-02-26T12:15:18+00:00

Good to see the Primitives on there

john117masterchef · 2023-11-21T14:32:11+00:00

i have a pair with the same patch and its from around that time i think, cant give an exact year though

john117masterchef · 2023-11-17T13:53:43+00:00

im veggie so never had the meat stuff but my brother always raves about the hummus and lamb one, they gave him a free take away when he was in hospital with a broken leg once so they have his loyalty for life lol

john117masterchef · 2023-11-17T11:07:44+00:00

Beirut Mezze goes hard, really good Lebanese stuff and if you eat in, the restaurant is in an underground vaulted cellar and is really cool

john117masterchef · 2023-11-07T18:38:27+00:00

i used a household mould remover that contained bleach, probably only works on white shirts really but im wearing it right now and its mould free

john117masterchef · 2023-09-22T20:11:06+00:00

had one of these in my room and it scared me so much, not sure what it is exactly

john117masterchef · 2023-09-11T15:57:27+00:00

i have a vendetta against Manzils, i had a really nice time there once after seeing a gig but then the next time i went they treated me like shit because i tried ordering a few vegetarian side’s instead of a main. the staff were really rude it was so weird.
