Went to see if the New Jag was in stock. It was not....
But these where and there was 12% off.


Been thinking about the Lifeboats for far to long. Being on offer was to much for my willpower to withstand... lol

Being sick of painting then despite covering everything over, I still find dust in some of the paint.

The curse of building 'clean' ships and shiny cars/bikes.
I have some clear storage tote thingies I use if I want a really clean finish. sort of works.

Yeah but, no but, yeah but..... they are NICE and POSH stirring rods..... and I wanted them, so there!

You are right though, fishing bits, yep got too many of them... Golf, yep, been there, done that, plus Motorbikes, Tools, other sports, eg: Squash, Cycling, then I had a camping/bushcraft phase. so lots of bits for that, and then there's the current main hobby, Airgun target shooting, that's a whole other Rabbit hole thats easy to slip down,..... and I have!
Oh, and I forgot photography that's another relatively new one for me, and yes I have bought far too many "bits" for it...

Blokes and hobbies, its a marketing Man's wet dream....

As a long term photographer I can attest to the expense of that particular hobby.
Printing at home is exceptionally expensive when a set of ink cartridges cost in the region of £150.
Our cabin cruiser moored at St Pancras basin wasn't exactly a cheap pastime either
