Tons of MOJO!!

Quick! Bottle and sell it, you'll be a rich man by Tuesday

But should I sell it by volume or weight?

This chap seems to do it by volume

The package does not state a volume or weight.

Not a great morning. I was on my way to work, as you do when employed by a company, usually. Decided it was a bit cold so I went to zip up by BIG unfriendly weather coat only to find that the zip was not working properly. No time to fix it or to change to another coat which is just as well as I just checked and found that it was thrown out some time ago. So a couple of hours holiday were put for to take at the end of the day which meant I had about an hour of shopping time once I got back to town from work! I am now £55 pounds poorer but have a nice new coat that comes complete with a liner. I am so going to be confused where all the things I carry around, such as but pass/train pass and phone are as the pockets are different  :banghead:

Oh well, that's life

That was the problem when combat trousers were all the rage in the mid-90s. You could be patting yourself down and trying umpteen pockets in increasing panic for ages before finding your wallet

Must admit I wear "cargo's" as standard, simply because of the extra pockets  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I always wear a multi-pocketed jacket for the same reason, different weights depending on the season. Over time the umpteen pockets bulge more and more, and usually resulted in the late Mrs_PR19 describing the jackets as 'Your handbag'.  ;D

Yea, but yours is a "poachers" jacket/waistcoat Kit  ;)

Haveing recently taken ownership of a 1/144 Handley Page Hastings C.1 I am starting to wonder if there are any 1/144 air droppable Land Rovers to sling under it

Try the railway accessories people? Sure there should be some for the smaller gauge railways?

IIRC Oxford Diecast do a Landie in UK N Gauge, which is 1/148 scale, pretty darn close.

Thanks for those ideas guys.

Something that I am wanting to get at the moment but finding is a real chore as I have not found anything specific in any search I have done.

I am wanting to get some 1/72 instrument faces as decals. I know such things are available in larger scales, again finding such things is not as easy as national markings for an aircraft, I am sure though that this comunity can point me in the right direction.

On another note, I got a message from Hannants saying that the new KP Tempest II was in stock
