I didn't know they manufactured them, thanks for the tip. #The one's that were just given to me probably'll last my life time so maybe never again shopping.
Most, if not all, of our bayonet fitting bulbs are LED, low power consumption, very bright I have fitted LED srip lights in the garage, far better than fluorescent lights
I made the mistake of buying a box of led lamps, going cheap, a while back. They were new to the market at the time and in my eagerness to part with my cash didn’t read the description on the box which clearly stated ‘white light’. So bright they nearly burned out your retinas and made everything they illuminated seem anemic Soon learned ‘warm white’ is the way to go.
I did wonder before replying, but my post number was directly before Phil's so fairly logical assumption considering..
The jacket arrived today. I just wore it to the shops, along with my new DMs, so now my feet are killing me. It feels weighty and substantial enough, apparently well made - though I'll know that when it doesn't fall apart. I'm not sure the leather's quite as thick as my 'Biker's Paradise' one made in Coventry, that I already road-tested without the bike. But it does feel as thick as I remember my Lewis was. I don't think it'd tear going down the road at 0 feet. For £128 it's astonishing. It's long in the sleeve, thanks to my being overweight. I think I saw somewhere they'd do them bespoke - but the sleeves will come over and do up nicely over gloves. Lewis Leathers don't want to sell you a jacket without making it to measure - but they cost more than 11 times what this one did; and I don't want clothing made to fit me overweight and absolutely not if it costs £1,500. I want to lose the weight. That's why I've got three pairs of new jeans I can't get into. I'm still not sure about the coat. But I only have jeans and jackets and it might be nice to come in from shopping a little warmer and drier. I haven't had or driven a car in thirty some-odd years. I can't stand being stuck in traffic. I either ride, or walk. I suppose I'm old enough to get away with a Gannex and a pipe, but it's not really 'me'. The actual brand, by the way, is 'Smart Range Leather'.
I have the opposite problem as I have disproportionately long arms. Long legs too, or as less charitable people might say, a short torso. My ex missus was the same and one of our sons received a genetic double dose of those traits so he’s built like a harvester spider. Unlike 5’9” me, he’s also very tall (6’4”). That’s basically the perfect frame for a goalkeeper and indeed that is what he does for a living. My dad was also a semi-pro goalie but when he was 21 he received an injury which almost killed him so he stopped playing. I used to play in goal at both indoor and field hockey, plus I played American football as a free safety, a position which involves a lot of jumping and parrying/catching and I was pretty good at water polo, for the same reasons. The other son, who is a boxer, also has long arms which gives him a nice reach advantage Anyway. I have to buy shirts from TM Lewin as they do a range of sleeve lengths, or else the cuffs are half way up my forearms.
I'd like the post, but it'd seem strange liking your having to go to TM Lewin for your shirts. (This spellchecker seemed almost desperate to have you going there for shifts. Of course, that could mean just, say, between 08:00 and 12:00 on a weekday.)
Where do you get them? They seem almost entirely screw-in wherever I look (and nothing over 100w equivalent anywhere since Wilko effed off. And John Lewis was the only place I found 100w equivs. And they're redder than I'd like).
The post in question is from @Zhed46 Post number #97605 Also, Phill748 did quote Zhed, are you not on speaking terms with zhed? Just curious, as his quoted text should be visible
There are a number of bedwetters who have blocked me and it seems one of them may be reaping what they have sown by not being able to properly follow a discussion due to missing posts.
I do not block people for that very reason,.on the old Visordown, some people stated that it looked like members were talking to themselves
It's very silly indeed, especially as each time it has been over what amounted to the square root of fuck all. What sort of man is so fragile that they feel they need to do that? It's very feminine-coded behaviour. I blame microplastics and the contraceptive pill! I abandoned Visordown not long after TWO bought it and the mods started banning people.
Went for afternoon tea with the wife for her birthday, it’s not my thing at all but at least I came away feeling completely ripped off for a few shitty bits of sandwich and some stale cakes, bargain at £54 bastard quid.
Where was that? Asking for myself, so I can avoid the place, seeing as I'm a tight arsed Yorkshireman
