Quote from: Thenop on May 01, 2024, 06:20:11 PMYes, so on with the bag search, and I found one (I am very picky), but it's only sold in the USA. Ughh. My wife (who by now was sick of hearing me talk about a bag - normal housholds have reversed discussions I am told) uttered: "just buy the damn thing".
So I did, but before I did I had a clear moment and Googled "discount code Kodiak leather". Found 3 of them, 30 & 20% did not work, but the 15% did! So, had a 15% discount the bag I wanted.

All of this is a pre cursor to another rant how sh!t UPS is in delivering I am sure, but I am savouring this moment.

Don't know what you're looking for exactly, but I recently bought my sister a leather backpack from www.mahileather.com  Indian company with decent website and good reviews. Prices seemed ok to me and quality was good. Arrived FedEx in five working days including personalised monogram stitching.

Two nights of terrible nightmares which I won't describe. Hopefully tonight will be peaceful.

A real brain-fog day with consecutive line errors. Twelve minutes.

I'm glad I've never been exposed to music at this level of quality reproduction as I'd probably like it and think about putting something together. I was blown away by my first experience with stereo in the 70s and everything I've bought since then has impressed me thoroughly, but middle the road separates like Technics have always felt like enough. Horses for courses though, you don't buy Cadenza to play a Rickenbacker bass along with.

Five minutes. Weird choice of line three guess rather than the more obvious solution.

Supermarkets regularly changing their store layouts to coax a few measly extra quid out of our pockets. Makes life difficult for the elderly, disabled and visually impaired. Governments should be able to regulate this type of behaviour but they never will as more profits mean more taxes. Plus, staff are already overworked and must hate the process of carrying it out and then dealing with the inevitable customer direction probably on a minimum wage 20 hour contract.

Quote from: Thenop on April 25, 2024, 06:48:49 PMWhat he should not do is make the same mistake that all Dutch coaches make: bring over too much players he has been working with. Having said that I would not be surprised if Geertruida would follow him, and he would poach Kokcu from Benfica, both of which were team captains for him.

Totally understand this argument, Nop, but Wim Jensen arriving in Glasgow and then stealing Henrik Larsson for £650,000 resulted in such a happy period of football memory for me. Not just the achievements in terms of trophies, but the display of unbridled talent was something precious to many Glaswegians. He stayed seven years. Unimaginable in today's money driven game, but I'm so glad he reached the ultimate prize in the European game. I think Alex Ferguson heaped huge praise on him recently. The ultimate professional. A former colleague's son worked for a time at the famous Gleneagles Hotel. Henrik and his family came for lunch. They chatted briefly about football and his waiter declared his love for Rangers. Henrik left him a £50 tip. Classy guy and footballer of sublime talent. Wim Jensen RIP and thank you. And thank you Feijenoord, but not for 1970.

Just made up a word for line two cos I was baffled. A word I read and relate to frequently but was the only option. Several minutes!

Sister thought she had been caught in a speed trap. When her friend drove past the spot later she noticed that it was in fact a cardboard cutout policewoman.
