Mint sauce keyring
Can I borrow it?
No. I'm going to use it to make some cufflinks that may end up looking more like roadkill than a cartoon sheep and then attempt to rip off some poor saps who think sheep shaped cufflinks would be a good idea*
*they were cufflinks weren't they?
No. I'm going to use it to make some cufflinks
Oooh I may be interested in a pair. How much and will I have them by christmas? 🙂
Depends. Which Christmas?
Which Christmas?
Jones?

Its a very valid question!

Innit lovely. 🙂
I thought it was some sort of spoke key thingy.
Brake disc straightener?
I thought the flipflops were suprisingly robust for something you get on the front of a magazine. I have a few bottle openers from mags which are ace. That bright green "puncure pod" thing lives on albeit closed with an elastic band nowadays, and I have had loads of gear cables and energy bars/drinks oevr the years. I like the pretend Buffs, but not so fussed about the union jack one on MBUK this month.
Small freebies that are made well are best (ie small stuff you might just pay a quid or two in a bike shop for), rather than the walllets, multitools, bendy tyre levers ie all the stuff you probably have but paid a bit more for examples that actually work.
spoke key
yep still got mine with me right now . . .
worst was mbuk multi-tool, fell apart into a 100 pieces as soon a i tried to use it . . .
mbuk is a lot better nowadays
Don't think it's a spoke key- I've got a Coors Light one somewhere that has the same wee thing on the edge.
never figured out what the other slot is for...
To open ringpulls i thought, so as not to damage ones nail extensions.
That wallet thing in the September issue of MBUK has to be the worst freebie ever.
To open ringpulls i thought, so as not to damage ones nail extensions.
Yep. For the ladies.
Or at least the sort of ladies that prefer a can of Super to a bottle.
Ah, I see. Immagonna use it on my next can. I've just had a manureicare.
Yeah I've always pictured you with a French tip darcy 😉
You're clearly masturbating too much Gee2DaEss 😀
Dammit, did I forget to turn my webcam off again?
Don't judge me! It's perfectly natural. 😳
And the spaniel likes it.
Out of interest: does anyone know anyone who's ever bought those mags where you build an actual size model of an F-16, or a U boat, in 6000 weekly installments?
that was a running gag in the Museum of Everything. "Build your own lifesize France over 62,000 weekly part works..."
Bravissimo. Its seen some action too
Pretty much what it's for, no? I assume you mean the catalogue?
Did MBR not also do a flat bottle opener, that was useful...that rain cape...Also STW; WHERE IS MY DISCOUNT CARD!
I *think* I may have the only STW discount card. In. The. World. *smug face* 
I got a "credit card" sized card with my STW sub, is that the fabled discount card? Goodness knows where it is though
Tom sorry to rain on your parade, but I also have one of those discount cards! There may be more too.
'This is my STW discount card. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Without my STW discount card, I am nothing. Without me, my STW discount card is nothing.'
you lot cant be drinking too much beer (expensive wine i suspect), my bottle opener was all good till about a year ago when i realised it wouldnt open bottles anymore because it had literally worn away...rubbish
The MBR rain cap was "won" by the most pathetic crasher in our group and had to be worn in the apré ride pub
I keep my MBR rain cape in the bottom of my bag for emergencies. Hope I never need it in anger!
I still also use the flat MBR bottle opener/key ring at work. I letter stamped my name into the back of it so I get them back [s]if[/s] when lost.
I have a ST discount card. Never used it but have one.
Also have an old flat freebie bottle opener. Use it to open paint tins. Its great.
Surely the worst thing about an MBR or MBUK free gift is the magazine attached to it?
X-Ray glasses free with the Beezer in the 60's
Well chuffed with them until they split and found it was just a feather between the coloured selophane that made me think I was looking at everyones skeletal forms
In my defence I was only about six years old
I have a ST discount card. Never used it but have one.
Likewise. I've never seen the free t-shirt/socks/golden-snitch though. 😀
*sits stroking STW Premier Card whilst wearing STW t-shirt and little else*
'This is my STW discount card. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Without my STW discount card, I am nothing. Without me, my STW discount card is nothing.'

PC Zone once provided a "mouse cleaner" as a free gift. It was a hard plastic thing with a short handle and a small dimpled ball on the end.This was back in the days when computer mice had balls inside them. The idea was that you took the ball out of your mouse, stuck in the cleaner and twiddled it around a bit to get the gunk off the rollers.
Except it did nothing of the sort. I think that PC Zone actually ended up apologising for supplying such a cruddy free gift and promising that their next one would be better.
I've still got mine and it actually worked quite well for me to be fair.
That sticky out thing on bottle openers is good for sticking under can pull tabs if you bite your finger nails.
Socks are tat. I mean who would be sad enough to wear them? Look at me I work for MBR or what ever.
I use the socks as gopro covers, perfect.
