lt's a late night (2am) and i've just got home. Just got changed into tracksuit pants (smart ones), leather sole blake stitched slippers and a flannel shirt. l've hardly blown my horn all day so i'm buzzing on my mouthpiece while reading the forum (perfecting the double and triple tongue to lightening fast levels and working on an extremely clean attack with a high quality buzz). l'm also wearing a bib to protect my clothing. lt's worth it, l blew to world class levels the other night....everyone was amazed. l'm one of the last of the old schoolers.

This sounds excellent fun -Uncle-I love a good old bawdy sing song.
"A is for arseholes all covered in shit -he ho said rolly -and B is the bastard who gave it a lick"
I will get my thinking cap on and see if I can add to the mix.
Just ordered my first Barbour purchase. A bottle green crewneck "jumper" and tan corduroy trousers from STP. I was thinking about a tattersall shirt, but cant decide which pattern I like the best.
I keep holding out hope that I'll find a Beaufort on the 'Bay in a larger size.
Am I in danger of appearing more Fogey than Ivy?
Tan Cord Harvie & Hudson Slack Jacket - Very soft shouldered, un-darted, two lower patch pockets with upper welt pocket, swelled edged lapels & lapped seams throughout, Non-kissing two on the cuff, centre vent ripped into the rear (It came ventless), 3 button 'tipped' (3/2) lapel roll, made in Germany - £99!
