What did you buy for yourself this Christmas?

[Evian]

Every year I make sure that I get at least one thing that I will definitely not send back. This year, I picked up a really nice looking Vanson Jacket. The one used on the first X-Men. I didn't like the yellow strips so I used Iodine to stain them a darker orangie color. I would post photos but I haven't figured out how to So what did you buy yourself this Christmas?

Nice.

I'm in Taunton on Xmas day, so you'd better make sure you lock your doors and windows or I might pop round and 'liberate' your wardrobe

I wish I was bying a redskin shearling jacket, shearling mittens, a black cafe racer, a half belt and a stuart, but its not gonna happen. I did get alot of very nice vinyl records instead. I was picking up some stuff from my dad including an old 1969 sony rell to reel taperecorder and a lot of old vinyls so I have been adding to the collection with ten years after, king crimson, the allman brothers band, george harrison, cream, traffic, jeff beck and such along with some new tape so I can record some of the "new" stuff. This got very OT, sorry, but you had to know
