following the tread on alcohol free beers I remembered St Peters 'Without' getting mention so ordered some with a meal at the weekend. Then immediately realised it had been mentioned as a recommendation but in the context of it being ****ing awful. Its not just a bad example of beer - its a bad example of liquid.
Calibre Dune fatbike, Aeropress, lightweight drybag for my gear, and by gear I mean nail collection..
Magrette watch & Uni mechanical pencil(s) both good. G shock, don't really rate it.
aeropress - bit faffy
scandal - good but should've got the 29er
wingnut pack - ossum
new patio - life-changing

I normally like to make my own decisions, however poor they may be. I seek out good value rather than the "best" label, or just spending big for the sake of it.. (eg. double figures for bike bells! expensive mudguards!)
