I'll give you a couple of pairs,Jim. They are the ones which have sewn-in kneepads. One pair is beige and the other a sandy-khaki colour.
I got them free when I bought a trug from trugs-r-us.They are still sealed in the original packaging.




Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

I'll be in Norwich tomorrow and Wednesday - I know this is short notice, but any one fancy meeting up for that pie and a pint we talked of earlier on one of those evenings?
 
I have a car, sat-nav and a petrol allowance (eek! expenses Shocked) - so I can travel to you or meet somewhere along the route betwixt. Smile

I like the idea of sewn in knee-pads - you don't know pain until you've inadvertently knelt on a decking screw

Mrs Mills trumps Winnie and Russ.

Definitely - the allegation was thrown out of court for lack of evidence (the sheep in question refused to testify)

Russ did ride side-saddle through the Black Forest and with only 9.5 fingers to his name.

Winfred Attwell seems like a jolly nice chap...er...lady.

Come on Jim, we all know you've already got some - didn't you wear them to the last prog curry?
 
You know you're getting old when you see an ad in one of the Sunday papers for two pairs of comfy trousers for £15, and you find yourself thinking "hmm, that's a good deal!".

I'm in oh Darq one. Tongue
 
Martin hasn't been on today so I guess we should wait before finalising but for now I can do Wednesday any time from 4.30pm onwards.
 
Assuming Martin can make it I suggest a watering hole that is easily accessible and on the outskirts of the city.
 
This should be ideal:     http://www.the-rivergarden.co.uk/index.html

The best watering hole in Norwich to my mind is definitely The Fat Cat:

That we did - put off slightly by the Greene King signs outside, but once we were through the door... 'twas like a Damascene revelation of what pubs should be like

The Beehive is a pub I like.  They even have a reasonably decent selection of tunes on their iPod.

No, it's not in Norwich.
