You need all that gear when your Fez gets stuck  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

That's a double edged sword. I would be annoyed if I did get stuck but then thanks to those fab winter tyres I've got lined up, it would mean deep snow blocking my path if I did get stuck. That means I will get my money's worth out of the gear and enjoy the proper winter weather

Excellent

Watched that the other week. At that moment he is shouting an Eastenders-esque "FRANK!"

Just a shame in the film Frank didn't reply with "PAT!"

Cheers I'm only playing the 9 hole course because until I have covered all aspects in the coaching sessions, I don't want to hit the big course and mess it up. Doing great with short chipping, normal tee shots, swing, posture and all that (even covered putting this week) but I have yet to have driver coaching. He said we must get there gradually, start with PW and 9 iron etc and worry about the driver later. I will have that coaching at our next session on the 19th of November.

Too many people go straight to the driving range and smash away with the driver but it predominately goes everywhere but straight. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Well, I got the coat today and it's perfect! Medium was just right not too long or baggy. I definitely won't need to wear a fleece etc under that coat!

P.S, made par today at golf after handicap deduction. Best score yet and not bad at all being as I've hardly played any rounds. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Another pet peeve is to do with water proofing. I've personally had little success putting back a water shedding properties to the outer surface once the original has worn off. I've used Nikwax etc and have been told it's actually the application of heat (tumble drier on low heat setting) that brings back the water shedding properties. The upshot of it all is that even with a GoreTex lining the outer fabric of the jacket gets waterlogged. It's particularly bad on my old motorcycle jacket when I've used it day after day for commuting. However, my latest bike jacket uses Goretex Pro Shell which I believe bonds the GoreTex to the outer surface. I have to say it seems to work very well. I'm not sure how many jackets use it but it's worth keeping an eye out for it.

I reckon the new coat will come in handy in this storm that is apparently going to hit on Monday LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Glad the coat fitted and the extra cash I saved can go towards something else

My jetboil arrived £38 what a bargain when the black colour was £105 boiled a cup of water up in about 2 mins and a lovely cup a soup was made in my kitchen

Bought a few kids t shirts and trousers too and another nice saving Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Excellent I think we need a new forum section that covers insider info with potential cash savings.  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Well if I see a member looking to buy something I will have a think to see what discounts I can offer Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
