So what frivolous things have you bought lately? Why?

Nah I was quite a bit smaller back then as far as I know although I did start growing pretty quickly. My brother is two years older than me and he hates it that, by the time I was five and he was seven I was taller than him. He reached the heady heights of five foot seven where I hit six three and a wee bit. My dad always hated it too as he is only five foot six and, unfortunately, we look far too much alike in the fizzog to disown each other.

It's strange how such things happen Marty. I'm not your dimensions but I'm way taller & wider than anyone else in my immediate family.
Even more bizarre are a mates grandsons. His daughter is approx 5' 6" & slim. Her husband is approx 5' 10" & chunky. Yet their offspring are feckin massive!
They must both be pushing 6' 10" & one is well over 25st 😳

Did you see I linked you in to a post in the for sale section Don?
Regarding a 58" chest leather jacket.

Just ordered a tank strap for the Guzzi, I reckon it will serve as a tank pad and stop my jacket zip scratching the tank. They are no longer available from Guzzi (as a kit), but I managed to find one on a Froggy web site so I just hope it gets here ok 🤔

I got that patch from a B52 Aircrew while on detachment to Barksdale Air Force Base Louisiana [home of the B52], I traded him one of our patches for his collection , Glad it found a good home (y)

Well that was short lived, the fucking Froggy bastards just sent me an email saying that the tank belt is no longer available, despite is being listed as in stock on their website when I ordered it :mad: - I've had this a few times when ordering from French or Italian sites... fucking slack inventory control 🤬

They've done you a favour Scrappy.
Dirt gets under those tank bra thingies & scratches the f#ck out of the tank.
Plus it would have looked like something out of a Village People video 🧐 😉
