You killed it for me when you mentioned Nike. They are the devils spawn.

[Alfresco]

Christmas is for the children. When did it become an excuse to lavish gifts on each other? If I want trainers I'll buy my own.

You obviously didn't get a book on the right time to use apostrophes.

Or commas.

I got a ‘Mr. Cardiff’ mug to add to my growing collection.

Happy bunch on here

I have become a big fan of the Vans Ultra range in recent years.

Good all rounder that I can wear down the pub or walking the dogs - https://www.vans.co.uk/shop/en-gb/va...es-vn000bcebxv

so to answer the question got a pair of these from my mother, and everyone else in my life we have a no present reciprocity pact, which does make the holidays a lot easier.

Boring I know sorry, but Doris and I agreed quite a few years ago, no presents or cards between us, it's just pointless, we buy what we need when we need it. I have my eye on a couple of things I want, monitor and docking station, but will wait a few weeks or so to get them. (and not because of the scam sales)

[Wash DC Blue]

I got a whetstone type thing for sharpening my Japanese kitchen knives and a cast iron cooking pot (didn’t want to say I got a Dutch Oven, for Christmas).

We are pretty much the same. The only gift I opened was a secret santa. If I need anything I get it as I go along. My mum did give me some money to get a bottle of after shave because I couldn't decide which one I wanted. Mrs M might get herself a treat under the guise of a present. But it's something she chooses and gets so it's the right thing.

Killed it for me when he mentioned trainers, trainers are people like Lew Clayton, they’re daps, pure & simple.

Didn't know you did sea fishing as well as river fishing?
Will you use a large fixed-spool with that beachcaster or a multiplier?

I use both but prefer a fixed spool as where I fish its very rocky and snaggy ground and the fixed spool is quicker at getting the tackle and fish back in without losing it all

Multipliers tend to be slower

Ah, right.
I only ever used a multiplier once (it was loaned to me for the day, by the company manager I was working for).
I had previously used a fixed-spool and when he asked me if I knew how to use a multiplier, I just nodded my head (well, what could go wrong, eh?).
First cast.... the mother of all birds nests!
Never used one since.

I have everything I need in life......so a boxful of stimulating books is my usual present...pre-read (ie used...) and chosen by me...That's all I need....

Good to hear the name Lew Clayton get a mention. A hark back to the days when sponges were magic

Yes Matt the Star Wars Lego collection has been updated, some good deals on very which I was too weak to refuse….Yavin 4 rebel base down to £80 from £140….got the ghost too, not sure whether to build it or put it in the attic and wait for it to triple in price like so many other sets….

Apart from the Lego side hobby it was boring stuff like boss aftershave and vans socks….I got way too many pairs of vans and about 25 adidas (5 brand new still in boxes for 5 yrs) so there is no way the wife will buy me anymore

Got the obligatory book but one I’m looking forward too, “riding so high” the Beatles and drugs…

We dont spend much on each other these days, it all goes to the kids….and on food!

Have you fished this part of the world ?

I don't use multipliers much tbh

Gosh...do those even exist anymore?....I have no need of those anyway(!)...I mean REAL books....thought stimulating.......several around Henry v111 and the dissolution...

I think that they do exist Mo, Although Newsagents are almost a thing of the past. I went and bought a 'Smut' mag a few months back, imagine my embarrassment having to communicate to the girl on the till that i didn't have an internet connection.....

Trainers=terrace culture=80’s/90’s….it’s like being a mod, it’s for life.
