Don’t tell her I said that btw…![]()
I’m not sure I trust her taste, I mean she’s still married to me!

All hope is lost.
I lost it years ago when I was bamboozled into letting the kids have riding lessons and not having the foresight to see where that would end up.
Women tend to have a longer game than men and are good at laying the ground for maneuvering you where you have limited options but to submit ![]()

This is the end game , Gok got there early with the detail match

Robs alter ego matches too
That looks the dog’s bollocks, that! ![]()
Fair trade leather bag… I doubt the cow who provided the materials agrees.
For years / decades I used an Oakley sandbag, god I miss that. I tried replacing it with another Oakley but they have nosedived design and quality wise (I used to only like their glasses but after Luxottica took over they too have become injection moulded shit, pd have made a respectable replacement)
I now use a Troop London canvas messenger like cross body bag I found in a department store in Barnstaple of all places, looks very like the Rocha canvas thing posted up thread. Big enough (just) for my iPad Pro and carries my kindle, keys, and other man crap on my commutes.
Edited to comment on the Pooh poohers and nay sayers regarding man bags.
It’s an age thing. As you age your back and arse kind of grow together this means loading up your pockets with keys, phone, wallet, etc. can result in constant hitching of your waistband or a belt that will act as a tourniquet for both legs at the same time.
Add to this the fact that any moderate activity needs a full spectrum of expertly timed pain killers, the need for acute boredom relief from interacting with other cunts that isn’t phone doom scrolling in the form of a book or other reading material, possibly multiple sets of glasses to be able to view the world with the correct amount of scorn / disbelief at how fucked things have become and it’s either lugging around a Sainsbury’s plastic carrier or something more suitable.
Personally I think it’s more a lifestyle / circumstances thing.
I permanently carry around my glasses case, a shopping tote, a bunch of house keys (the spartan guys don’t appear to have houses) and a phone plus a couple of small medical things. This is more than pockets can reasonably contain so I always carry a Cabin Zero Sidekick
For longer trips I carry a water bottle and in less clement weather I want an umbrella (I guess it doesn’t rain in Sparta). This means a Freitag Dexter
which is indestructible, spendy as anything and you get the additional benefit of being woke as fuck.
I’ll add another thing. I’ve worked remotely for years, this means I have to lug equipment / laptops etc all over the place. I used to do the usual backpack which as I’ve aged is now just pain.
Get a rolling pilots cabin bag or rolling backpack. I had a few comments about going on holiday from cunty colleagues and the wife but after a couple of times seeing how easy I had it they ended up copying.
When the wife moved to become a district nurse she ended up nicking my pilot bag after initially mocking it and then realising how heavy a backpack with laptop and accumulated other work shite can become.
Naturally pointing out her error at the initial scorn was met with ‘the stare’ and proclamations regarding my sinister birth and cuntitude.
Ah, the familiar progression from wifely scorn to shameless theft ![]()
- What do you want that stupid xyz for?
- Can I borrow your xyz?
- Where is the xyz?
I bought a Cabin Zero flight cabin bag on your recommendation a few years ago and it has been excellent. ![]()
Cabin Zero has travelled through the wife’s extended family like a virus - most of them have one now.
Cost very little, weigh practically nothing, good structure and a smart design.
Between us we have a 28L and 36L
and we chop and change depending on who’s carrying what, where.
@Rob998 sorry for the threadcrap mate, but I can’t resist the opportunity to evangelise Cabin Zero.
