...was probably a very accurate answer.

It was 100% accurate, they did indeed look different. The problem was I had worked that out for myself and I was kind of hoping for a bit more information on the technical side. That'll teach me to go in on a Saturday!

And yes, Jared, AFC Wimbledon have hit the top of the table and hopefully will be in the Conference next season and possibly back in the League soon after.

That's my point - behind the shiny facade & going back along the supply/distribution/manufaturing chain, you'd probably find they came from the same factory.



Although I have to say, considering I'm e-conversing with a bloody dangerous old git Super Veteran Martial Artist, I will of course bow to your obvious frustration.

I'd like to see Chopper (what an apt name!) and David (Atavachron) take part in a martial arts contest. Big smile

That could be a plan - we could set up a dojo outside, next to the dustbins, charge admission, then whilst everyone is busy watching them beating seven shades of good-for-the-roses out of each other, I could lock myself in The Shed's beer cellar

But you haven't seen David's vicious kick have you?  He could kick a hole through the shed wall easily. Wink  He makes it look like it's made of balsa.

Ah, I see your point Mr Garten, you're probably right. Don't worry, as my son will tell you, I get duffed up at karate most weeks. Mind you, we may attempting to break tiles with side kicks soon. I'm expecting to break my foot before the tile.Pinch

Those were the days. I remember we had them in our kitchen - with at least 5 coats of paint on them and a vignette circle of purple above the cooker. (This was due to my Dad pressure cooking some beetroot and forgot about it - and the safety valve didn't work either.)
 
Warning - Don't try this at home. Unless you like purple.Wink

Beetroot, beetroot - it always comes down to beetroot, doesn't it

Quote I remember we had them in our kitchen


Many finger indentations? It was irresistible to give them a good poke occasionally then deny responsibility when dad asked...

Quite a few. They were also a decent place to keep pointy objects as we were too small to get to them. Trouble was that my parents didn't view this with same degree of fun as us kids.Cry

I remember a school 'friend' hurled his (geometrical) compass into the poly celing at the beginning of a lesson, before the Maths teacher walked in...he spent half the lesson wondering on whose head it was going to fall, until we heard a small thud as it stuck into the wooden desk, near the ink well...LOL

aaaaaaanyway... I went shopping in Hereford with my sister today (she's a teacher and she's on half term), and she said she just wanted to pop into Primark...
 
well, I've never been into a Primark store before...Confused
 
oh, dear God..its Chavtown... lots of oddly shaped women, who have attempted to squeeze a good proportion of the lower half of their anatomy into track suit bottoms, even though they have no intention of going anywhere near a gym, attempting in vain to threaten young Finlay with playstation confiscation and mean it, whilst negotiating a double buggy around to the aisle where her other progeny are tipping over precariously balanced piles of clothing...Ouch
 
and please can someone tell me, how the Censored can anyone manufacture, distribute, market and sell an item of clothing for £1.47??ShockedConfused
