    Alexander Leathers vintage black FQHH

    And don't forget to condition it regularly! I'd try every few weeks ... every little helps. Oh, and welcome to the Lounge, Hicksmat! :)

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    Me too! I always liked it in there ... it's a shame to hear it's closed though! And the weather looks a mite inclement for the time of year ...!!! Yikes. Glad you made it home safe and sound (if not dry!).

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Seriously though. Compare and contrast Matt Damon's performance in that - to his sensational acting in The Departed. I can't say more than that.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    You're most welcome. No, I hadn't read the book. But perhaps that reads better? One can only hope. Cheers!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Re; The Martian. SPOILER ALERT REPLY Oh BB, it felt to me as though the makers had realized that, with Gravity, they'd seen a film that went from the plausible to the totally unrealistic - but people had bought in to it enough and lapped it up and been entertained (as I myself was) and hadn't...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Just finished the 4-part "Quatermass" from 1979, released on Blu-Ray by Network Distributing. I saw this back when I was 12 on ITV when I was growing up in England and I enjoyed it then - but had never seen it since, so I wasn't sure when I got it, but took a chance. Network got hold of the...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "The Martian" starring Matt Damon. One of those rare films where I can honestly say it's 2 hours and 20 minutes of my life I'd want back. It's utterly astonishing to me that it gets such positive reviews and won so many accolades and awards. Awful beyond words.

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    I actually woke up on Saturday morning (knowing it was the afternoon already in Scotland) and thought about the frenzy that would be going on as I walked the dogs - and actually felt sorry for myself that i was missing it! And now the photos ... eeesh. Even more amazing than I'd imagined. What a...

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    Man, I think I'd have to go in there with cash. As in, a limited amount of what I know I could afford. Or have a buddy-system to govern the use of my credit card - I think it'd be dangerous for me to go in there alone with it. I mean, look at that stuff! Oh my. And if someone's there walking...

    I hope you have your waterproof gear with you ... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3747257/Now-washout-weekend-severe-weather-warning-forecasters-say-s-Atlantic-storm-brewing.html Here, Saturday's set for 31C but, with the humidity, it'll be feeling like 41C!

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    Oh, what I wouldn't give for some cooler temps and a nice westerly wind to cool me down. It's been roasting over here all summer long. I've been biking to and from work every day and sometimes it's been windy too (always a headwind. Both directions!), but it's only made it feel like riding in a...

    Breaking in my LW ANJ-4

    Ah yes, it doesn't seem so long ago that ol' Zoran became unhinged and went off the deep end at you - and in such spectacular fashion too! Barking. We can look back on it and laugh now (I was too astonished to laugh at the time) and I thought you handled his awfulness perfectly. Yes, I reckon an...

    Donald Duck cleared of extremism in WW2 propaganda cartoon!

    Just saw this. I didn't know Donald Duck been banned in Russia! Somehow, I don't think anyone in the Kremlin watched it to the last scene - or could understand what Donald said (and that's fairly understandable!)...

    Leather Police Motorcycle Jacket

    It's a beautiful jacket. Very "Officer Bobby Hill" of Hill Street Blues! I loved that show and both his and Renko's jackets even then! It's amazing how things "imprint" on you at an early age - and look at us all here now!

    Real McCoys G-1 Fit Check

    Got to say UDK, that's one immensely generous and thoughtful wife you have there! She's a keeper - along with the jacket! Perfect fit on the G-1 - it looks great on you - and the other jacket does too. You've nothing to worry about. Cheers!

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Not a chance. The difference is between style versus fashion. Our jackets are of the 1940's and 1950's eras which pre-dates modern fashion from the 60's onwards, so they don't tend to look "dated" like fashion does (even within seasons!) and they exude a timeless "classic" aura. Its why James...

    Aero Grand Theft Sale – who's going?

    Hey, what I wouldn't give for a giant Tesco out here! All the best British chocolate and crisps and biscuits - all so plentiful and cheap. And beer! And tea. And decent, thick ice cream sauce (no such thing as raspberry sauce out here) and Irn Bru and Shandy and I'll take some Hamlets too. The...

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    It's not the biggest of museums, but it does have the Halifax, which is very special in of itself - as once they were so plentiful and now so rare. And I was amazed by the bald tires - I'd always just thought that the old Matchbox and Airfix kits from the 1970s were just basic and hadn't...

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    As for my previous assumption that it was a "period repair" and "authentic", I stand corrected (as said the man in orthopedic shoes. ba-dum, tsss!). And now you mention the off-set zip/front panel, I can see now what you mean! Thou art a font of knowledge, Andrew. It's what makes this place such...
